For clients facing one or both of these issues, the most urgent clinical need is to establish safety--to reduce addictive behavior, build healthy relationships, manage symptoms such as dissociation and self-harm, and restore ideals that have been lost. \u003ci\u003eSeeking Safety\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on coping skills in the present; it can be implemented with individuals or groups, by any provider as well as by peers. It offers 25 topics, such as \u003ci\u003eAsking for Help\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTaking Good Care of Yourself\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSetting Boundaries in Relationships\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHealing from Anger\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHonesty\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCoping with Triggers\u003c\/i\u003e. The model is highly flexible, practical, and engaging, and can be conducted with any other treatment, including the author's past-focused model, \u003ci\u003eCreating Change\u003c\/i\u003e. The book has a large-size format and features reproducible client handouts that can be photocopied or downloaded. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e See also \u003ci\u003eCreating Change: A Past-Focused Treatment for Trauma and Addiction\u003c\/i\u003e, and the self-help guide \u003ci\u003eFinding Your Best Self, Revised Edition: Recovery from Addiction, Trauma, or Both\u003c\/i\u003e, an ideal client recommendation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLisa M.
