From Trauma to Transformation: Dr. Lisa Cooney on Healing, Writing, and the Soul’s Journey
"I thought I was saving others, but it was my own soul that needed saving." — Dr. Lisa Cooney
In this episode of Uncorking a Story, host Mike Carlon sits down with Dr. Lisa Cooney, a therapist, healer, and author who has dedicated her life to helping people overcome trauma and unlock their full potential. They dive into Dr. Cooney’s transformative journey, from her own struggles with trauma and near-death experiences to the soul-healing techniques she has crafted. Lisa shares how her unique approach, which blends Western psychology with spiritual practices, empowers people to break free from limiting beliefs and discover their true selves. Whether you're a writer seeking to tap into your deepest experiences or a reader drawn to stories of resilience, this conversation will inspire you to embrace life’s challenges as part of a greater journey toward self-discovery.
Trauma and hardships often shape our life's purpose, giving us the tools to help others. Blending Western psychology with Eastern spiritual practices can open new pathways to healing. Dr. Cooney's "ROAR" technique (Radically, Orgasmically, Alive Reality) is a powerful tool for inner child work. Soul retrieval can reconnect lost parts of ourselves, healing trauma stored in the body. Transformation often requires facing and re-writing limiting beliefs instilled by family or society. A soul-centered approach to life allows for greater resilience, joy, and a fulfilling sense of purpose.
