Judith A. Swack, Ph.D., has been awarded the 2026 Silver Medal for Grief Books by the Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) for her book “Clear Trauma Now: The Powerful Solution for Getting Unstuck.” The award was announced at the NAMASTE Expo held June 4-7 in Dallas.
The COVR Visionary Awards recognize excellence in the Mind/Body/Spirit field, honoring books, products, and programs that support healing, personal growth, and transformation. The awards are judged by both industry professionals and the general public, making them a notable recognition in the field.
Dr. Swack expressed deep honor at the recognition, stating that the award validates the book’s contribution to trauma recovery and grief support. “Whether you are dealing with the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, or old emotional wounds that just won’t heal, this award is a testament to the fact that there is a proven path to rapid and complete healing,” she said in a press release.
“Clear Trauma Now” details the Healing from the Body Level Up™ (HBLU™) methodology, a system Dr. Swack pioneered to clear trauma at the conscious, unconscious, body, and soul levels. The book has been described as an essential guide for profound healing by Fred P. Gallo, Ph.D., founder of Advanced Energy Psychology and past president of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.
The significance of this award extends beyond the book itself. It highlights a growing recognition of rapid trauma healing methods that challenge traditional long-term therapy approaches. Dr. Swack’s claim that “Healing trauma takes hours, not years” has resonated with many, as evidenced by the book reaching #1 Best Seller in Personal Success & Spirituality and #2 in Personal Transformation & Spirituality on Amazon shortly after its October 2025 publication.
The COVR award underscores the increasing acceptance of energy psychology and body-based trauma therapies within the broader healing community. For individuals struggling with grief or unresolved trauma, this recognition may encourage exploration of alternative methods that promise faster results. The book’s success also points to a public demand for accessible, effective tools for emotional healing.
Dr. Swack plans to host a “Clear Trauma Now Live Healing” webinar series on Thursday evenings in September, offering real-time trauma healing demonstrations. Details are available at hblu.org/live-healing-experience.
The award is a milestone for the HBLU methodology, which combines Dr. Swack’s background as a biochemist and immunologist with decades of clinical experience. Her work focuses on identifying and clearing root patterns driving emotional and physical distress, often in just a few sessions. This recognition by COVR may lead to broader adoption of her methods among healing professionals and the public.
