The Body Of Change using your body to heal love and empower yourself.

The Nonprofit Exchange: Leadership Tools & Strategies

In this episode of the Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Lisa Cooney, a seasoned expert in psychological, physiological, and energy healing modalities. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Cooney shared her insights on the transformative power of the body in healing, love, and empowerment, which is the focus of her latest book, The Body of Change.

Dr. Cooney discussed her journey from being a marriage and family therapist to incorporating energy healing into her practice. She emphasized the importance of self-awareness and the need to listen to our bodies, especially in a post-COVID world where many have become disconnected from their physical selves. Her book serves as a guide for readers to become their own inner physicians, featuring reflective exercises to help individuals understand their feelings and make empowered choices.

We delved into the concept of the "four Ds"—denying, defending, dissociating, and disconnecting—highlighting how these patterns can create an invisible cage that limits personal growth. Dr. Cooney also introduced the idea of "micro shifts," encouraging listeners to take small, actionable steps toward their goals rather than feeling overwhelmed by the need for dramatic changes.

A significant part of our conversation revolved around her ROAR method, designed to help individuals reclaim their power after trauma and abuse. Dr. Cooney emphasized the importance of courage in facing one's past and the necessity of creating a safe space for healing.

As we wrapped up, Dr. Cooney shared her belief in the universe as an ally, encouraging listeners to choose positivity and collaboration in their lives. I encourage everyone to explore her work further, including her book and the resources available on her website, DrLisaCooney.com.
