The Way

This final session looks at relapse prevention. Clients begin by reviewing the important takeaways from this treatment program, such as (1) all emotions provide information that can motivate us to take action in helpful ways; (2) staying present in the moment and taking a nonjudgmental view of our emotions can help to prevent emotions from increasing in intensity; (3) the way we think about a situation influences how we feel, and how we feel affects the way we interpret a situation; and (4) although avoiding uncomfortable emotion experiences can work well in the short term, it isn’t an effective long-term coping strategy. Clients then evaluate their progress, revisit their initial treatment goals, and develop a practice plan.

The Future

In this final session, the patient reviews the skills learned in the treatment program and looks at his or her overall progress. The patient is encouraged to very deliberately keep practicing the skills learned in therapy over the next several months (or as long as necessary), and, if they run into problems, they are advised to call the therapist for a booster session. There may be times in the future when it feels as though the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are coming back or seem to be worsening. This might happen at times of stress or maybe during times of change. Moving, getting a new job, getting married, having babies, children moving out, and children getting married are all generally happy times, but they can be stressful. The patient’s body has learned to react to extreme stress with PTSD symptoms, and he or she may notice some of these symptoms in the future. It does not mean that they are relapsing, but does mean that they need to pay attention.

In addition, the goal is to let the couple know that they have learned a set of skills that can be applied in the day-to-day environment to deal with high-risk situations and that relapse-prevention techniques will help the client maintain gains made during treatment.
