Reviews

“The Awakened Therapist is a visionary exploration, shedding light on often overlooked aspects of therapist consciousness and energetic attunement within the healing process. Through a transpersonal gestalt perspective, Harmony Kwiker offers invaluable insights and practical guidance for therapists, illustrating how heightened awareness shapes the therapeutic encounter.” Katie Asmus, MA, LPC, BMP, founder of The Somatic Nature Therapy Institute ""The Awakened Therapist is a must read for new and seasoned therapists who want to discover the healing potential of transpersonal gestalt counseling. Harmony has offered us a clear and profound account of how to stay connected to our true nature as we hold space for clients."" Arielle Schwartz, PhD, author of The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook and The Complex PTSD Workbook “The Awakened Therapist is a marvelous book that shows therapists how to come from awake awareness in their work and how to foster this awareness in their clients. There is no book for therapists on this topic that illuminates in such depth and detail exactly how to conduct therapy from this paradigm.” Susan Campbell, PhD, author of Getting Real and From Triggered to Tranquil
