Harmony Kwiker is my guest for this episode. A growing number of counselors and therapists are treating the whole person. Transpersonal Counseling honors the higher dimensions of the human experience- beyond the personality, beyond personal history, beyond even beyond emotions. Things that are typically unexplainable are honored and welcomed into the counseling room. Her path was greatly influenced by a Near Death Experience she had when she was just five months old.
Harmony Kwiker, MA, is a psychotherapist, author, and professor at Naropa University, where she teaches transpersonal counseling. She is also the founder of the Institute for Spiritual Alignment, where she trains practitioners to bridge the divide between traditional and spiritual transformation.
Harmony's first book was a self-help memoir called Reveal: Embody the True Self Beyond Trauma and Conditioning, where she vulnerably shares her story of transformation while simultaneously empowering readers to discover their truest selves.
In this interview, we discuss her new book, Align: Living and Loving from the True Self.
