S4 Ep 8S4E8: Restoring Humanity in Prisons with Authentic Relating | Laurie Lazar
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 […]

S4 Ep 7S4E7: Therapy Session #4 | Working with Introjects in Gestalt Therapy
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 […]

S4 Ep 6S4E6: Financial Health, Burnout, and Secondary Income Streams | Khara Croswaite Brindle, LPC
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 […]

S4 Ep 5S4E5: Therapy Session #3: Facilitating the Deeper Work of Integration
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 […]

S4 Ep 4S4E4: Consciousness in Psychotherapy | Harmony Kwiker
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 […]

S4 Ep 3S4E3: Therapy Session #2 | When the Body Stops Feeling Like Home
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 […]

S4 Ep 2S4E2: When a Client Feels Stuck in Powerlessness | Case Consultation
In this episode, I offer live case consultation to a newer transpersonal counselor navigating the complexity of depth work. We begin by exploring an essential principle of this approach: before moving into integration or intervention, we must support a shift in levels of awareness. When a client is fused with their narrative, their trauma, or […]

S4 Ep 1S4E1: Therapy Session #1 | When Pain Overrides Awareness
This is the first session in a series of therapy demos with the same client. The full demo is streaming on Patreon. In this live demo session, Harmony works with a volunteer who experiences chronic pain alongside a familiar pattern of catastrophizing–thinking about the body rather than listening to it, tracking symptoms vigilantly, and tensing […]

S3 Ep 13S3E13: (Therapy Demo) Healing Ancestral Wounds | Harmony Kwiker
In this therapy demo, a demo volunteer engages in a creative exploration of subpersonalities and ancestral wounds. What begins as the expression of inner constructs of the habitual self evolves into a powerful empty-chair dialogue with his great-grandfather, where unspoken grief, anger, and longing come to light. At times, this dynamic session resembles psychosynthesis, but […]

S3 Ep 12S3E12: Energetic Coherence | Dr. Mary Sanders
In this episode of The Awakened Therapist Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Mary Sanders, a chiropractor and energy medicine practitioner with more than 30 years of experience. Together, we explore what it means for practitioners to hold energetic coherence—how tending to our own energy, practicing neutrality, and cultivating daily energetic hygiene allows us to create […]
