Hi Jenne
Yes I absolutely loved the session.
I found it very accurate and your presentation was great. For me was like a counselling session , I learned more about myself and could relate every thing i heard from you to my actual life!
For me that session was a big step forward towards knowing myself more, and that would help me to achieve more self confidence, happiness and joy throughout my life.
Thank you so much . Sima May 2013

A REVIEW
Jenne Perlstein’s Course:
Counselling & Mental Health Skills for Tarot Readers and Astrologers.
Published in ‘The Magician’ TGA Magazine 2010

By Linda Henery

After hearing Jenne present a workshop on counseling skills for Tarot readers 2 years ago, I was keen to participate in her first 8 week class beginning in July this year. Jenne’s course is an excellent complement to the study of Tarot, particularly for those contemplating professional membership. This course would also be of benefit to any Tarot enthusiast reading for others, whether it be professionally or not. At a time in our society when mental illness is a growing concern, it unlikely that most people will be untouched by its effects, whether it be personal experience or dealing with a friend or family member suffering some form of these debilitating and isolating conditions. As a professional Tarot reader, it is highly likely that at some time, one will be confronted with a client in need of more specialised help than a tarot reading can give. This workshop provided the information on how to recognize such clients and stategies for dealing with challenging situations.

Jenne has worked for many years accumulating a wealth of knowledge in medicine, psychology, psychiatry, tarot and astrology. She holds degrees in both medicine and social work, an area in which Jenne has worked for many years. Jenne has been a Professional member of the Tarot Guild since 1996. Jenne presents in a relaxed, reflective manner and clearly is passionate about bringing all her skills and knowledge together in a well integrated course.

The classes were held on cold Monday nights and began with selecting a card each for the session, and doing a meditation to create the mood for learning in a relaxed manner. The classes were very interactive as everyone was encouraged to bring their personal experiences to be used as examples. Notes and reference books were extensive and each topic was dealt with in great depth and the time flew by in every class.

In her course,Jenne covered a comprehensive range of topics which included

• Mental health Issues
• Depression and Suicide
• Psychoses
• Personality disorders
• Family patterns
• Resources
• Client Issues
• Psychic and physical protection for the Reader and Client
• Ethics and boundaries.

While readers have innate intuitive abilities which they use in dealing with clients, hearing Jenne describe the theory behind counseling skills is affirming and builds confidence in one’s manner in reading for others and enables one to fine tune some of their existing practices.

My expectation of the course was to learn more about issues which may affect people and therefore improve my counseling skills and my interaction with clients. Little did I realize I would be analyzing my own personality, environment and past and this demonstrated to me how much we can be prone to viewing, and even judging others, through our own experiences. While looking at the theory in the light of one’s own life, can be at times confronting, it ultimately can, however, be most liberating. Jenne emphasizes throughout the course the need for readers to be aware of their own practices in readings and to continually be prepared to do the “inner work” and not become complacent and think that we have no need to improve our own abilities. Knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses is critical in becoming a skilled tarot reader. There can always be ways of improving ourselves as readers. I believe this is part of the essence of Tarot, we can always keep learning, not only about Tarot but about ourselves and our clients.

With Jenna’s abundance of knowledge and experience in her chosen fields, hopefully she will continue to present a range of courses and workshops which cover the topics in this course and associated topics as her course served to open up more areas to cover for the tarot reader or astrologer. Jenne’s sharing of her knowledge is a great contribution to the overall education available to tarot readers and to promoting ethical behaviour in the field. In the future, I look forward to participating in Jenne Perlstein’s sharing of her accumulated wisdom.

TAROT TEACHING

” I studied private tarot tutoring with Jenne weekly for a period of 3 months.
My intention was to learn an indepth foundtional understanding of the various
archetypes that govern the tarot cards. Jenne was the pefect teacher for this
and I am very happy with the understanding  of the cards I gained throughout my
lessons with her. Jenne not only has a background in mental health training but
also a broad and indepth knowledge of many religious and spiritual
traditions. The teachings throughout the lessons reflected this wealth of
knowledge combined with an indepth knowledge of the cards themselves. Jenne is
skilled at teaching not only the meanings but how to read the cards from a
mature and grounded perspective. I recommend Jenne as a teacher of the mystical
art of tarot or as a skilled reader herself. ” Brigitte Garvey Dec 2011
