Transpersonal counseling weaves together spirituality, consciousness, and modern psychology to create a truly holistic approach to healing. From this perspective, co-regulation happens in the sacred context of seeing clients as whole beings—honoring their innate wisdom as the primary guide in the therapeutic process. Within this relational field, safety is communicated through presence and attunement, allowing clients to reconnect with their autonomy and spiritual essence.
In this episode, Harmony explores the importance of the therapist’s inner awareness and capacity to remain grounded in the face of client dysregulation. By not fearing emotional intensity, therapists model trust in the wisdom of the nervous system and the natural unfolding of healing. She also highlights the power of attunement and the necessity of creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experience without pressure to fix or change it.
