“…Non-striving was noted by Irving et al [11]; clinicians saw the importance of moving from the practice of doing/fixing to being when working with patients. Keane's [14] psychotherapists internalized the qualities of acceptance, calm, and compassion such that who they were as people impacted how they were with their clients. Nonjudgment and nonreactivity in particular were related to therapist empathy.…”

“…Although some providers may be tempted to use this time to complete other work-related tasks, this time could also potentially be used for self-care practices that may help guard against burnout. For example, recent research has examined how therapists' own mindfulness practice may positively influence their awareness of self-care needs, capacity for self-compassion, and capacity for empathy (Keane, 2014). Even a three-minute breathing space meditation might be helpful for providers to practice in the allotted time.…”

In "Written Exposure Therapy as Step One in Reducing the Burden of PTSD: The Composite Cases of 'Alex,' 'Bruno,' and 'Charles'" (Austern, 2017), I presented three composite case study examples of how veterans suffering from PTSD may benefit from written exposure to their trauma memories. For one case (Bruno), Written Exposure Therapy (WET) was the initial treatment in a stepped-care approach that culminated in Prolonged Exposure therapy. However, for the two others, WET became a standalone treatment. In two commentaries on the cases, Cigrang and Peterson (2017) and Sloan and Marx (2017) discuss the development and efficacy of WET, WET implementation strategies, and practice implications of WET (e.g., the potential to reduce clinician burnout). In my response to these commentaries, I aim to contribute to the bourgeoning discussion of how mental health providers can best incorporate this promising writing-based treatment (WET) into their existing approaches to working with veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). My response will address themes raised by my composite case studies and by the commentaries, including how stepped-care service delivery models may have the potential to make PTSD care more efficient.
