THE AWAKENED THERAPIST: Spirituality, Consciousness, and Subtle Energy in Gestalt Therapy
The Awakened Therapist is an accessible introduction to gestalt therapy through the lens of transpersonal counseling, one that offers a clear and profound account of how to bridge the gap between traditional counseling and spiritual transformation. Bringing new depths to the art of therapy, Harmony Kwiker provides a map for therapists to dismantle the old paradigm of therapist-as-expert and honor their clients’ innate wisdom. The chapters seamlessly weave together elusive concepts of levels of awareness, subtle energy, and spiritual alignment with psychological concepts that are embedded in the theory and application of gestalt therapy. After reading this book, therapists will be inspired and energized while having more substantial breakthroughs with their clients.
“The Awakened Therapist is a visionary exploration, shedding light on often overlooked aspects of therapist consciousness and energetic attunement within the healing process. ”
Katie Asmus
There is a fundamental core within each of us where our true nature resides. Our learned patterns of relating to ourselves and the world cause us to get pulled off our center, coming out of alignment with our True Self. While these conditioned patterns were at one time useful, continuing to live from them prevents us from experiencing the ease and beauty of our own true nature. In this remarkable exploration of the human condition, Harmony Kwiker provides a clear and comprehensive map to rediscovering how to live and love from the True Self, including how to come back to wholeness by accessing your subtle energy body, how to embody your alignment in all of your relationships and how to explore sexual intimacy in a sacred way.

“Harmony is the compassionate therapist and gifted spiritual teacher that we need to guide us on our journey through life”

As faculty at Naropa University, Harmony Kwiker teaches therapists how to facilitate deep transformation and healing. In her vulnerable self-help memoir, she gets personal about her own journey of transcending old pain and trauma as she forges a new path that breaks through the confines of her conditioned self.
This compelling and riveting book is more than a memoir and more than a self-help prescription–Reveal illuminates the fracture that occurs during deep trauma, the outdated beliefs that keep us feeling stuck, and the habitual patterns that become our map of navigating the world. Then, through the tears of the author’s own eyes, she shows us the courageous and exhilarating path of integration, transformation, and a return to wholeness.
“Harmony Kwiker’s story is a modern day he-she-roe’s journey, the journey of how she learned to give voice to her deepest truth and reclaim her essential self.”
Dr. Susan Campbell
