What is Seeking Safety?
Seeking Safety is an evidence-based therapy designed to enhance coping skills and promote stabilization — especially for individuals facing co-occurring trauma and substance use disorders. This approach empowers clients with practical tools to make healthier choices and regain control of their lives.
Healing through Seeking Safety
Seeking Safety therapy helps clients break out of cycles of codependent and damaging behaviors often brought on by co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse.
How Does Seeking Safety Work?
The main component of seeking safety is helping clients feel safe in their everyday lives, including their relationships, thoughts, emotions, and behavioral choices. Addiction and trauma can often lead to a sense of self–loss. Seeking safety enables clients to re-identify with their values and goals and helps them work toward reinstating them.
