TJ Woodward: Transforming Addiction Recovery with Conscious Healing
With conscious recovery, I'm looking at that place within us that holds infinite potential, infinite possibility, and as we reconnect with that and we actually heal the trauma and the shame, which can be a process, we can actually have a very different relationship with ourselves in the world.
Imagine a recovery journey that doesn't start at rock bottom. In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', the hosts sit down with TJ Woodward, a trailblazer in addiction treatment and the creator of The Conscious Recovery Method. TJ’s approach is refreshingly different, focusing on the idea that we are inherently whole and perfect, despite what our struggles might suggest. He challenges the traditional notion that one must hit rock bottom to begin recovery, advocating instead for a curiosity-driven healing process.
Throughout the conversation, TJ explains how reprogramming the brain through mindfulness and meditation can be a game-changer. He emphasizes the importance of creating authentic connections and understanding the deep-rooted causes of addiction, such as unresolved trauma and shame. By addressing these core issues, TJ believes we can transform our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. Listeners will find TJ’s insights both inspiring and practical.
He shares how his Conscious Recovery Method is implemented in treatment programs across the United States, training clinicians to adopt this holistic approach. TJ also discusses his bestselling books and workbooks, which serve as valuable resources for anyone on their recovery journey. The episode wraps up with TJ offering some of his favorite recovery resources and the hosts announcing an upcoming convention for their fellowship.
This conversation is not just about addiction recovery; it’s about embracing a new perspective on healing and transformation. Tune in to explore how conscious recovery can pave the way for a life filled with potential and possibility.
