Trauma‐related guilt, shame, and trauma type among patients with co‐occurring <scp>PTSD</scp> and <scp>SUD</scp>
Trauma-related guilt and shame might be important focus points in PTSD treatment, but for SUD problems, this study only showed an association between trauma-related shame and drug use problems. Trauma-related shame seems to be a more important treatment focus point than trauma-related guilt in the treatment of PTSD. It becomes particularly relevant for interpersonal index traumas (especially sexual trauma). Childhood traumas require attention in SUD-PTSD co-occurrence, given the higher severity of PTSD.
