In this candid and illuminating solo episode, Harmony shares her personal journey of profound grief, anxiety, and ultimately transformation after the sudden loss of her mother. She opens up about the misattunement she experienced with early therapists, and how those moments shaped her dedication to creating truly attuned, healing spaces for her clients.
Drawing from almost two decades of practice and teaching, Harmony distills the five most common mistakes therapists make—like doing too much too soon, colluding with clients’ misbeliefs, and relying on psychoeducation instead of guiding real therapeutic processing.
Listeners will gain deep insight into how to recognize and avoid these pitfalls, why attunement at the contact boundary is essential, and how therapists can help clients reconnect with their own energy and sovereign will. Harmony also guides listeners through practical ways to maintain clean energetic boundaries, both in session and in everyday life.
If you’re a clinician, healer, or simply someone committed to relational integrity, this episode offers powerful reminders about the real work of therapy: being present, being human, and trusting in your clients’ innate capacity to heal.
Join us for this honest conversation about what helps—and what hinders—deep transformation.
