Still in Earning Trust .... Should the therapist remain emotionally detached from the military client's trauma and emotional reactions to the war zone experience?
 
In traditional therapy, the prevalent view is that healing can best occur if the therapist remains EMOTIONALLY DETACHED from the client's life and traumatic material.
In working with war zone veterans, the opposite is true: If the therapist remains emotionally detached from the military client's pain, the war experience remains solely the burden of the client.
Therapy becomes effective only when the therapist can affirm that he or she is personally engaged with the veteran’s story, at an emotional level.
The clinician can and must have and show emotions, because these emotions reflect common human response to human experiences. These feelings should be genuine, ordinary, matter-of-fact responses to the veteran’s experience.
All of he above are true.

All of the above.
