In season 1, episode 5 of The Awakened Therapist Podcast, Harmony explains in more detail the essence of gestalt therapy. She shares about how she found her way to becoming a gestalt therapist, as well as the way Zen Buddhism and Taoism inform the present centeredness and nonviolence of this approach to counseling. Phenomenology, the dialogic relationship, and experimentation are also defined, as they relate to the inherently transpersonal and transcendent aspects of gestalt therapy.
