This study examined the potential confluence of salutogenesis and trauma care. First, the core concepts of the Salutogenic Model, general resistance resources (GRRs), and sense of coherence (SOC) were reviewed, and the paucity of research on GRRs was identified. Second, the Adaptive Information Processing Model was reviewed for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which is a promising method for trauma care; the Polyvagal Theory was reviewed for somatic experiencing; and the usefulness of stabilization techniques by activating resources was clarified. Furthermore, by focusing on the GRRs of the Salutogenic Model and the resources of trauma care, the Sense of Resource Availability (SORA) was devised, in which resources in SORA were defined as (1) being accompanied by positive emotions and sensations when recalling the resource, (2) being accompanied by a sense that the resource is useful in coping with a stressor, and (3) forming and reinforcing the factors of SOC. The proposed model integrates SORA into the saluto genic model. This is confluence of saluto genesis and trauma care.
