Seeking Safety
Seeking Safety is a present-focused treatment for clients with a history of trauma and substance abuse. Seeking Safety focuses on coping skills and psychoeducation: (1) safety as the overarching goal (helping clients attain safety in their relationships, thinking, behavior, and emotions); (2) integrated treatment (working on both trauma or posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and substance abuse at the same time); (3) a focus on ideals to counteract the loss of ideals in both trauma or PTSD and substance abuse; (4) four content areas: cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and case management; and (5) attention to clinician processes. (Seeking Safety, Evidenced Based Practice. Lisa Najavits)
