It can also be used by clinicians in therapy sessions. (Please note that it is not related to Seeking Safety in any way.) Cost: $22. Description. Women and girls are becoming addicted at higher rates than ever before. Until recently treatment models were based solely on men. This self-help book offers a step-by-step program to help women overcome addictions of all kinds. Women-focused themes include body image, trauma and violence, relationships, stress, and thrill-seeking. The book explores how women differ from men in addiction and recovery, and conveys a supportive tone for the journey to healing. A chapter on co-occurring disorders allows readers to evaluate whether they may have problems common to women with addiction-- such as depression, posttraumatic stress, eating disorders, and phobias. With a focus on building strength, women can take steps to come to terms with their personal addiction stories. Healing exercises are offered in four areas-- feelings, beliefs, action, and relationships-- to help women build self-respect. Exercises include Listen to That Small Quiet Voice, Extreme Self-Care, Self-Soothing, Become Friends with Women, Rethink, Take Charge, Share Responsibility, and Mourn. Throughout, recovery resources are provided. See the Table of Contents, and read about an outcome study using the workbook.
To obtain the book, see How to order.

These focus on trauma and substance abuse, but have no information on
Seeking Safety. They were produced in 1998 by Cavalcade Productions. Two
of the videos are for clinicians and one is designed for clients. They offer
perspectives on treatment by Lisa Najavits, Francis Abueg, Pamela Brown,
Bonnie Dansky, Terence Keane, and John Lovern; as well as several people in
recovery.
