In this special solo episode, Harmony Kwiker explores a subtle and profound question: Where does the role of therapist intersect with the lived experience of being in relationship?
Drawing from her decades of experience as a transpersonal psychotherapist, teacher, and author, Harmony unpacks the nuanced ways that therapeutic attunement, clear seeing, and pattern recognition can affect our closest connections. She speaks candidly about the impulse to analyze, fix, or reflect in romantic partnership, and how these well-honed therapeutic capacities can become barriers to genuine intimacy if we’re not deeply in contact with ourselves.
With warmth and wisdom, Harmony invites listeners into a deeper understanding of:
- How the therapist’s lens can disrupt intimacy when used unconsciously
- The projection trap, even when our insights are accurate
- The importance of turning the mirror inward rather than focusing outward
- How to meet others at the sacred boundary with vulnerability and self-responsibility
- Using relational conflict as a portal for healing unfinished business
This episode is an invitation to every therapist, healer, and introspective human to come home to themselves in relationship—not by abandoning insight, but by rooting it in self-connection and embodied presence.
