The Soul Work of Therapy
2026/04/26
In this episode, Harmony speaks to the deeper orientation that shapes transpersonal counseling. This is an exploration of the therapeutic field, the way suffering is met, the way presence is held, and the conditions that allow healing to emerge as clients return to themselves. She shares the foundations of this approach, including co-regulation, awake awareness, […]
Therapy Session #6 | Discovering the Intelligence of Rumination
2026/04/19
In this episode, Harmony shares the final session with the demo volunteer followed throughout this season. A pattern comes forward that has been organizing the client’s experience: rumination. He describes the way his mind returns to past moments where he felt wronged, replaying interactions, building a case, and feeling anger toward others. As the session […]
How to Heal Your Attachment System | Harmony Kwiker and Christopher Arnold
2026/04/12
In this very personal episode, Harmony Kwiker is joined by her husband, Christopher Arnold, for a conversation that weaves lived experience with the core principles of attachment theory and relational healing. While the conversation is grounded in their relationship, the focus is on how attachment patterns organize in real time and what actually supports transformation […]
Therapy Session #5 | Working at the Threshold of Becoming
2026/04/05
In this episode, I’m sharing another session with the same client we’ve been following this season. He is at a threshold, stepping into a new career as a bodyworker. And as we begin, we start tracking the way he avoids turning toward what’s ahead. As we stay with that, it becomes clear that the avoidance […]
Restoring Humanity in Prisons with Authentic Relating | Laurie Lazar
2026/03/29
In this episode, I’m joined by Laurie Lazar, founder of the Realness Project, a nonprofit bringing authentic relating practices into prisons. Laurie shares what she discovered when she stepped inside these systems—places where therapy is nearly nonexistent, and where people are often left alone with their pain, their stories, and the patterns that have helped […]
Therapy Session #4 | Working with Introjects in Gestalt Therapy
2026/03/22
In this fourth session of the ongoing demo series, you continue to hear the unfolding process with the same volunteer as deeper patterns come into awareness and are worked with in real time. Early in the session, we track a subtle but powerful moment: the way he leaves himself when discomfort arises. Instead of trying […]
Financial Health, Burnout, and Secondary Income Streams
2026/03/15
Therapists are trained to hold space, track nervous systems, and metabolize complex emotional fields. We are rarely trained to build sustainable businesses. In this episode of The Awakened Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Khara Croswaite Brindle to explore financial health for therapists and why secondary income streams are not just about money, but about […]
Therapy Session #3: Facilitating the Deeper Work of Integration
2026/03/08
The full demo is streaming for free on Patreon for one week. In this third session of our ongoing therapy series, we begin to track a clear polarity has emerged in his system. On one side, he becomes hyper-focused on his body. Tracking symptoms. Monitoring sensations. Trying to manage or solve the pain. His attention […]
S4E4: Consciousness in Psychotherapy | Harmony Kwiker
2026/03/01
In this episode, I speak to something foundational in the Season 4 demo series, why we must shift states before we attempt to create change. When a client is fused with thought based reality and identified with urgency, story, or distress, no intervention will land deeply. So before experiments, before insight, before parts work, we […]
Therapy Session #2 | When the body stops feeling like home
2026/02/23
This episode is the second session in an ongoing demo series with the same volunteer exploring chronic pain. In this session, we gently explore the disconnection he feels from his body and the grief beneath it — particularly the grief of not being able to “play” in his body the way he once could. Through […]
