This qualitative case study reflects the voices and experiences of five veterans who engaged in a selfexpressive writing session over a period of eight weeks. The purpose was to explore whether or not selfexpressive writing could be used as a therapeutic intervention. Findings indicated that the intervention helped participants express emotions, increase their awareness of personal issues, helped separate problems from self, and foster a sense of empowerment.

Such interventions may be useful components of therapy and help those populations who have limited access to therapy services or who are reluctant to be present for therapy.
