We can understand the meaning of The Therapist from taking a closer look at the woman in image. She is seen as compassionate, caring, sensitive and nurturing. She connects with people on the emotional level, so people enjoy her honesty and fairness. The appearance of The Therapist in a reading can be guiding you to find help from others. Most times, this is a female figure that will come into your life. The Therapist has an intuition which is very powerful and is only rivaled by the one of the High Priestess. The Therapist acts as a mirror and reflects the depths present in others, so they see themselves in a new light. Most times, The Therapist can also represent the trusted inner voice you have within you. She seems to say that you should take the time to focus on your emotional health before trying to help others. Self-love creates compassion.

Reversed Meanings: weak, disloyal, gloom, manipulative, lack of trust, sulky, giving too much, smothering, spiteful, perverse, unfaithful, shallow, self-centered, over-active imagination, depressed, overly-sensitive, lacking direction, insecurity, unhappy, bitter, blocked intuition, vengeful, frivolous, emotional immaturity, needy, silly, disorganized

The Therapist reversed means that you are not in sync with your emotions. You can also feel restricted in the expressing the way that you truly feel. Most times, bottling up your emotions can be very damaging and will lead to a boiling point in the near future. You may have high levels of stress that you are not able to cope with anymore. The Therapist reversed can also reflect that your mind is wandering too far and you are letting your imagination run away with itself. While you still mean well, you should take a pause to really see whether your emotions can be trusted, because you are allowing them to control you. You need to take some time to think if these dreams can be turned into reality. You should try to be more emotionally stable during these times, so you will know when your emotions are getting the best of you.
