Sentient
In the recent blogpost Exploring Reader Bias Barbara Moore said "Sometimes we aren't aware of how... biases show up in our work."
To address this issue she created a useful exercise that any tarot reader can benefit from.
She shared that "The idea was born when one of my students did practice readings for public figures. She admitted that when she read for Trump that she had trouble finding anything positive to say because of how she felt about him, because of her judgment of his character and his choices. As readers, we know that not all our clients share our beliefs and are walking different paths than ours. When we feel very strongly about their paths, it can be hard to give an objective reading free from our own ideas about what is best."
Could you do a reading on a public figure you disliked in a unbiased way?
In the post Nothing’s Shocking – the Art of the Pokerface Theresa Reed came at the issue from a different angle, but with a similar message. Her example made me chuckle.
Would anyone like to try Barbara's Moore's exercise?
