About Conscious Recovery Professional Training
Conscious Recovery is a comprehensive, holistic approach to addiction treatment offering effective strategies for getting to the root cause of addiction and addressing the underlying trauma, shame, spiritual disconnection, lack of worthiness, and other factors that underlie addictive behaviors. Conscious Recovery is rooted in the fundamental principle that underneath all addictive behavior is an essential self that is whole and perfect; the addictive behaviors are coping strategies to manage underlying unaddressed wounds and pain that drive the addictive behaviors.

Unresolved Trauma is a Root Cause of Addiction
Conscious Recovery identifies the first root cause of addictive behavior as unresolved trauma. In this video, Jeremy Miller and TJ Woodward explore how you can help your clients heal their trauma, rather than continuing to only focus on symptoms.
The Five Key Principles of Conscious Recovery
-
Underneath all addictive behavior is an essential self that is whole and perfect
-
The addiction itself has never been the “problem” but was a strategy that has lost its effectiveness
-
Treating addiction must go beyond treating symptoms and get down to the underlying root causes of destructive behavior
-
The root causes of addictive behavior are unresolved trauma, spiritual disconnection, and toxic shame
-
There is a pathway to permanent freedom through the adoption of spiritual practices and principles
Spiritual Disconnection is a Root Cause of Addiction
Conscious Recovery identifies the second root cause of addictive behavior as spiritual disconnection. In this video, Dr. Adriana Popescu and TJ Woodward explore the relationship between disconnection and addiction, and the importance of connection as it relates to recovery.
Toxic Shame is a Root Cause of Addiction
Conscious Recovery identifies one of the root causes of addictive behavior as toxic shame. This video is a presentation by TJ Woodward at a recent conference. In this talk, TJ shares a part of his own story, and discusses how to heal shame.

About TJ Woodward | Wholehearted Thought Leader
Recovery Specialist | Inspirational Speaker | Best-Selling Author
TJ Woodward has spent more than twenty years developing and refining a unique, integrative approach to treatment of addiction and addictive behaviors. He is the founding minister of Agape Bay Area in Oakland. He was ordained by Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith and Agape International in 2018. The Conscious Recovery Method, finally released in 2017, is the culmination of his years of study, personal experience, and work with coaching and ministerial clients. Rooted in the understanding of underlying traumas that interfere with finding and cultivating our whole, perfect ‘essential self’, Conscious Recovery represents an integration of key elements from singular approaches, presenting a gentle and yet powerful approach to understanding and connecting with the whole self, and learning to let go of the wounds and other factors that get in the way of living full, authentic lives.
"Woodward has a way of boiling down things down into practical approaches. Honestly, this is better than what I learned in my graduate program. It's typical for professional education to be delivered through long winded and nauseated fiddle faddle that clinicians tend to yammer on about - Woodward cuts through all the naval gazing and delivers clear and concise practices and perspectives that should be at the core of any clinicians approach."
