For people who have experienced childhood trauma or narcissistic abuse, traditional therapy is not always enough. Some find themselves drawn to alternative healing modalities that address what they describe as energetic imprints—patterns that feel lodged in the body itself rather than just the mind.
Chris Wasko has built a practice around this intersection of trauma recovery and energy healing. Working as a spiritual counselor, energy healer, and psychic medium, Wasko specializes in reading the chakras—seven energy centers in the body according to Eastern philosophy—to identify what she describes as blocked or misaligned energy related to past experiences.
A Method Rooted in Energetic Assessment
The approach involves assessing a client’s energy field through the lens of the chakra system. Rather than relying solely on verbal processing, this spiritual counseling and energy healing practice works to identify physical and energetic patterns that may be connected to unresolved trauma. Wasko’s clients often report feeling seen in ways that traditional methods haven’t provided.
This work attracts a specific demographic: adults between 25 and 55 who identify as empaths, old souls, or what Wasko calls “black sheep of the family.” These are people who often feel misunderstood by mainstream approaches and are actively seeking methods to break generational cycles and live more authentically.
From Private Practice to Published Work
Wasko has expanded beyond individual client sessions to reach a broader audience. Her book, “An Old Soul’s Journey,” serves as a guide for connecting with and supporting the healing of the inner child. She’s also created Spicy Old Souls®, a healing program designed specifically for spirited, self-aware individuals navigating their own spiritual journeys.
Through podcast appearances and published content, Wasko has shared insights on energy healing and personal empowerment with audiences curious about these alternative approaches to trauma recovery. The growing interest reflects a broader cultural shift toward holistic and integrative healing modalities, particularly among those who feel underserved by conventional mental health services.
What’s Next for the Practice
Looking ahead, Wasko plans to publish additional books, suggesting a continued focus on making these concepts accessible to people beyond her direct client base. As interest in somatic therapies, energy work, and trauma-informed healing continues to grow, practitioners like Wasko occupy an evolving space where ancient practices meet modern psychological understanding.
For those exploring healing options, particularly survivors of narcissistic abuse or childhood trauma, the appeal of chakra reading and intuitive services often lies in their promise of addressing wounds at what practitioners describe as an energetic level—a dimension some feel has been missing from their healing journey.
