Recovery By Choice

Presented by BJ Davis, PsyD, this 9-part Wholehearted masterclass introduces The Davis Model: an evidence-based, client-centered approach to understanding and treating addiction.

Rooted in both lived experience and clinical expertise, Dr. Davis simplifies the complexities of addiction by reframing it not as a disease or a lifelong condition of powerlessness, but as a behavior driven by unmet needs. Often, addiction begins as a way to cope with pain when no other options feel available.

Throughout this masterclass, Dr. Davis shares a flexible and practical framework that helps clinicians meet clients where they are and guide them toward lasting, meaningful change. The Davis Model is measurable, adaptable, and grounded in human connection. It empowers professionals to help clients reclaim agency and take ownership of their recovery journey.

You’ll gain tools that support real-world application: from understanding The 5 Basic Needs and Total Behavior to using practical methods like the Four Questions and building a Quality World. Each concept is taught with clarity, compassion, and relevance to the day-to-day work of healing.

Dr. Davis has trained hundreds of professionals and helped thousands of individuals reclaim their lives. His personal journey through addiction and recovery brings a rare depth to his teaching, this is not theory at a distance, but wisdom earned and shared.

Free from dogma and grounded in empowerment, this masterclass offers a science-driven path forward in addiction treatment, one rooted in choice, dignity, and sustainable healing.
