“…SDT presents several effective meters and techniques for measuring and mitigating low subjective vitality, a condition associated with burnout (Fernet et al, 2013), and, more directly, CF (Martin-Cuellar et al, 2019). Vitality-based interventions include but are not limited to activities such as expressive arts (Hyatt, 2020;Sexton et al, 2009), forest bathing (Hansen et al, 2017), spiritual practices, holistic wellness, and physical activity (Sexton et al, 2009).…”

Background: A private university nursing program established the Initiative for Vital Practice in response to increasing levels of compassion fatigue (CF) and burnout among faculty and staff during an undergraduate program revision and accompanying leadership transitions. Method: A pilot mixed-method project evaluated self-management practices meant to mitigate CF among faculty and staff. Results: Faculty and staff ( N = 34) identified four primary risk factors for CF, including physical symptoms (14 of 34 = 41%); feeling trapped in work (14 of 34 = 41%); lacking time away from work (11 of 34 = 32%); and inability to work hard enough (10 of 34 = 29%). Individual and organizational stressors and alleviators were analyzed; aggregate scores for three Professional Quality of Life scales presented at a “moderate level.” Conclusion: Preliminary results establish a baseline to measure the effect of burnout and secondary stress and guide further development of our organizational framework and initiative.

“…Although vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue are well‐established concepts, research on the well‐being of therapists who support refugees and asylum seekers is scarce (Drapeau et al, 2022; Puvimanasinghe et al, 2015). To effectively monitor boundaries, it was deemed important for therapists to be aware of the emotional impact of this therapeutic work (Drapeau et al, 2022; Hyatt, 2020; Posselt et al, 2020; Puvimanasinghe et al, 2015). Professional frameworks can become challenged, the trauma discourse can permeate the therapeutic space and therapists can be left questioning their abilities (Apostolidou, 2016).…”

ObjectiveTherapeutic boundaries are limits to appropriate behaviours within a therapist–client relationship (e.g. related to accepting gifts, self‐disclosures, therapist neutrality and advocacy). Therapeutic boundary considerations are fundamental in the care of refugees and asylum seekers. Research on the experiences of therapists navigating such boundaries is sparse and warrants further exploration. The aim of this qualitative systematic review was to thematically synthesise literature regarding therapists' (psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors) experiences of implementing flexible therapeutic boundaries with refugee and asylum seeker clients and determine how such applications have been helpful for therapeutic interventions.MethodSix databases were searched. Following full‐text screening, 21 papers were included in the analysis. Boundary theory underpinned the analysis.ResultsThree major themes were developed: (i) Changes to Therapeutic Practice & Therapeutic Intervention, (ii) Re‐Conceptualisation of Therapy as ‘Clinical Political’ and Re‐Conceptualisation of Therapist Identity and (iii) Careful Monitoring of Personal Boundaries—Not becoming ‘Hardened’ or ‘Haunted’. Papers described how, when used in a reflective, considerate way, flexible therapeutic boundaries can strengthen the therapist–client alliance and positively impact therapeutic interventions. Many therapists acknowledged making conscious efforts to re‐conceptualise therapeutic work with refugee and asylum seeker clients from advocacy standpoints. However, systemic constraints, and lack of guidance, made this difficult to navigate and contributed to therapist burn‐out.ConclusionsBoundary considerations manifested as interpersonal, structural and cultural changes to practice. These have implications for clinical practice and developing guidelines on boundary practices with refugees and asylum seekers. Future research should explore promoting therapist well‐being and training needs for therapists supporting this population.

“…Additionally, contemplative practices which emphasize nonduality have been used in prisons and have shown to be effective (Lyons & Cantrell, 2016). Writing generally has been reported anecdotally to relieve compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma (Hyatt, 2020) and could be utilized in poetry to transform the impact of trauma. Levine (1992) discusses the possibilities of poesis as therapeutic practice.…”

Mystical poetry and the ontology of the self in liberation psychology.

The recurring images of the abandonment of the self to love of the Divine in mystical poetry, and by extension other people, have implications for understanding the historical precedent of the modern ontology of the self in liberation psychology (LP). Starting from roots in liberation theology, LP theorizes an ontology of the self that centers selfless giving and self-sacrifice out of love for others. The ecstatic poetry of St. John of the Cross in Christianity and Hafiz’s poetry in Islam both contain recurring and powerful images of the typology of the lover of the Divine as the highest and noblest possibility for human beings. Love of self and others is a natural outflowing of the relationship to the Divine. Mystical poetry supports the idea that love can break down separations between self, others, and God, not a naive and romantic fantasy of the possibilities of human beings, but a primordial typology of the essence of the good human life, and holds promise as a healing modality in mental health settings.
