Root of Trauma: Resolving Pain & Addiction Through the Lower Chakras by Melissa Grabau PhD

Melissa Grabau, PhD, connects Western mental health diagnoses with the root, sacral and solar plexus chakras. She argues that childhood trauma creates imbalances in these three lower chakras that can block the higher ones and affect personal development.

Each chakra is matched with related psychological diagnoses, and client stories illustrate the healing process the author describes. The book reflects her integrative framework for trauma and addiction and is not a substitute for care from qualified mental health professionals.
