This section presents an interpretive overview of the study’s findings and situates them within depth psychological and existential frameworks concerned with meaning, symbolism, and reflective process.
Quantitative findings indicated shifts in self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety over the course of the study. Qualitative analysis revealed changes in participants’ capacity for self-observation, emotional articulation, and narrative coherence. Tarot imagery functioned as a symbolic focal point through which participants explored internal tensions, unresolved relational themes, and existential concerns. Rather than being treated as external sources of knowledge, the cards served as prompts for reflection, dialogue, and imaginative engagement.
Interpreted through Jungian and logotherapeutic perspectives, the findings suggest that engagement with archetypal imagery may support psychological processes associated with individuation and meaning-making. Participants’ accounts frequently emphasized experiences of recognition, resonance, and subjective meaningfulness, including events understood as synchronistic. These experiences were not approached as causal mechanisms but as symbolic moments that facilitated reflection and reorientation. From this perspective, Tarot functioned as an imaginal medium through which psychological material could be encountered, elaborated, and integrated within a therapeutic context.
