+1 This book really helps connecting dots between PSTD, trauma, mind-body connection, mindfullnes, yoga, dance etc.

Slightly boring (I hate reading these patient's stories and details of psychological experiments) but the conclusions are priceless.

Much if addiction, depression, anxiety, etc is rooted in trauma (typically from childhood), and regular psychotherapy is insufficient to fully heal people. He recommends a number of different modalities to heal trauma (many to be done as adjuncts to traditional psychotherapy).
