As a professor of transpersonal psychology at Naropa University, Harmony Kwiker teaches therapists how to facilitate deep transformation and healing. In her vulnerable self-help memoir, she gets personal about her own journey of transcending old pain and trauma as she forges a new path that breaks through the confines of her conditioned self.
This compelling and riveting book is more than a memoir and more than a self-help prescription--Reveal illuminates the fracture that occurs during deep trauma, the outdated beliefs that keep us feeling stuck, and the habitual patterns that become our map of navigating the world. Then, through the tears of the author's own eyes, she shows us the courageous and exhilarating path of integration, transformation, and a return to wholeness.
After years of facilitating her own clients in their transformation, this renowned healer, teacher, and author boldly shares her own journey with you. And it is not to be missed.

From the back cover:
"All of this pain has a purpose," 6-year-old Harmony heard from deep within as she practiced transcendental meditation for the first time. Feeling relieved by these words of hope, she knew instantly that she wanted to learn how to bring this message to life. With progressive healers as parents, Harmony was nurtured to be a healer herself. However, the painful secrets hidden beneath the façade of having well-loved healers as parents kept Harmony locked in a pattern of wounding and suffering.
Conditioned to be accommodating and agreeable, Harmony thought that being nice would earn her love and approval, but instead she felt broken and lonely. With low self-esteem and unhealed trauma, she allowed herself to be victimized by men repeatedly - keeping her pain hidden away and never speaking her truth.
As she set out on a long healing journey, she learned how to take her power back from her trauma and conditioning so that she could claim her healthy feminine expression - tender, powerful, and sovereign. Now a successful healer who empowers others to live in alignment with their True Self, Harmony has learned from her long journey as a wounded healer how to embody the wholeness that is her birthright and to live from this deeper place. In this vulnerable self-help memoir, she shares with you her powerful story of healing and awakening.
