When experiencing complex trauma—especially ongoing abuse, neglect, or betrayal—it doesn’t just affect your thoughts and emotions. It affects your body’s energy system too. One area particularly affected by trauma are your chakras. Chakras are the body’s energy centers. There are seven main chakras, and each is responsible for different aspects of your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. When trauma enters our lives, these centers can become blocked, overactive, or out of balance.
