Root-Cause Therapy: A Method for True, Lasting Change (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648946021)

What if the reason you can't change isn't a lack of willpower - it's that no one has ever helped you get to the root?

Most healing approaches work at the surface. They address thoughts, behaviours, and symptoms - without ever reaching the place where those patterns were formed: deep in the nervous system, held in the body, encoded before you even had words for what happened.

Root-Cause Therapy is different. Developed by Melissa Hiemann after years of clinical practice and her own profound personal healing, RCT is a hybrid methodology that combines somatic therapy, regression, breathwork, inner child healing, and coaching into a single structured framework - one that doesn't just manage symptoms, but finds and resolves the root event that created them.

In this book, you will discover:

• Why insight alone doesn't create change - and what has to happen instead
• How childhood experiences become lifelong patterns through the body's survival mechanisms
• The science behind why RCT works, from neuroscience and epigenetics to the body's electromagnetic field
• How emotions drive behaviour - and why working at the level of thought is rarely enough
• The complete RCT framework: session structure, muscle testing, the Testing Sheet, regression, and future-self work
• Specialised protocols for anxiety, depression, grief, physical illness, generational trauma, relationship patterns, and addiction
• Real practitioner case studies showing profound shifts - often within just a few sessions

Written for healers, coaches, therapists, and anyone who has ever felt stuck despite years of trying, this book offers both a complete clinical framework and a deeply human account of what healing actually looks like from the inside.

Melissa speaks from lived experience - as someone who overcame addiction, trauma, and self-sabotage through this work - and from a decade of training practitioners across the world who now deliver RCT in their own practices.

"I got more out of one session than ten years of therapy." - RCT client

Whether you are a practitioner looking for the missing piece, or a person who has tried everything and still can't seem to shift, Root-Cause Therapy offers something rare: a clear, compassionate path to the place where real change begins.

It is never too late to heal at the root.
