Group Therapy
Seeking Safety
Do you feel numb? Feel too much? Avoid reminders? Have nightmares and/or flashbacks? Have a trauma history? Self-harm or think of suicide? Self-medicate? Lose control? This group might be for you. Seeking Safety is an evidence-based treatment group for trauma and substance abuse/unsafe behaviors. It is a structured, present-focused group (not a process group, so no need to tell your trauma story), aimed at making the present and future better than the past.
