~ Help the client label and gain more control over trauma symptoms when they arise and use grounding techniques when flooded with feelings/memories.
~ Establish some specific routines in individual, group, or family therapy (e.g., have an opening ritual or routine when starting and ending a group session). A structured setting can provide a sense of safety and familiarity. ***Use carefully
~ Facilitate a discussion on safe and unsafe behaviors. Have clients identify, on paper, behaviors that promote safety and behaviors that feel unsafe for them today.
~ Refer to Seeking Safety: A Treatment Manual for PTSD and Substance Abuse (Najavits, 2002a). This menu-based manual covers an array of treatment topics.
~ Encourage the development of a safety plan.

~ Child neglect
~ Car accident
Prevent Retraumitization

~ Direct confrontation about behaviors can be seen by someone who has been abused as a sign of impending assault
~ Strategies
~ Be sensitive to the needs of clients who have experienced trauma
~ Do not ignore clients’ symptoms and demands when clients with trauma are triggered and act out; doing so may replicate the original trauma.
~ Walking out of a tense group
~ Avoiding particular clients or topics
~ Be mindful that efforts to control and contain a client’s behaviors remind them of being trapped as part of the trauma.
~ Listen for specific triggers driving the client’s reaction and help the client identify these cues and thereby understand their reactions and behaviors.
Provide Psychoeducation
~ Education can play a pivotal role in enhancing motivation, in normalizing experiences, and in creating a sense of safety.
~ Understand the client’s expectations and reasons for seeking help
~ Educate the client and other family members about the program
