AWAKEN Therapist Edition is your opportunity to pause, reflect, and step forward with clarity and intention. Through pre-work, interactive exercises, and a deep dive into the A.W.A.K.E.N. framework, you’ll uncover the tools, community, and space you need to reignite your vision and move toward your next chapter. |
