 In this episode of Let’s Talk about CBT- Research Matters, Steph speaks with clinical psychologist Katherine Wakelin about her recently published clinical guidance paper, Cognitive therapy for moral injury in post-traumatic stress disorder: integrating religious beliefs and practices, in The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. Together, they explore how therapists can compassionately and effectively incorporate clients' religious beliefs into cognitive therapy when working with moral injury. Katherine shares the motivation behind writing this paper, guidance on involving spiritual leaders in treatment, and practical tips for therapists who may feel apprehensive about discussing religion in therapy.

Each episode, I'll be talking to a recently published author about their research, what was the motivation behind it and how they hope it will impact the world of CBT. In this episode, I am joined by Katherine Wakelin. Katherine is lead author of the paper Cognitive therapy for moral injury in post-traumatic stress disorder: integrating religious beliefs and practices which was published in the cognitive behaviour therapist Hi, Katherine Welcome to the podcast. Katherine: Hello. Thank you for having me Steph. Steph: Thank you for coming. So just before we start, would you please tell the listeners a little bit about yourself and the areas that you work? Katherine: Sure. My is Katherine, Katherine Wakelin, I'm a clinical psychologist. I did my training at the University of Surrey and since then have always part of training and after training worked in a range of different specialist trauma services, so I guess certainly work in PTSD has been a specialist interest of mine for quite a few years now. I currently work in a community mental health team in Hampshire, and I guess my role within the team is in a specialist trauma place there as well. And by the time this airs I'll also be working at the University of Southampton as part of their doctorate programme as well. So that's a bit of my background and yeah what I'm currently doing. Steph: Great. And congratulations on your new role then. That's exciting. So I probably collared you about this paper this time last year, maybe we were at the conference, because it was in progress. And I really wanted to chat to you about it, because I thought it was a really interesting paper. And I was like, if it gets published, do you want to come on the pod? You very, very kindly agreed. So often on the podcast, we often talk to people about research papers, what they did, why they did it. This is slightly different because this is a clinical guidance paper where you’re giving actually practical guidance for CBT therapists on how to work with this client group. So was there any particular motivation behind writing this paper, how did this come about? Katherine: Definitely. Well, I guess it probably brewed over a few years. I think the first case I worked with, which was a PTSD case using cognitive therapy for PTSD, where moral injury was a big component in it, was when I was working at the Traumatic Stress Service in South West London with my colleague Sharif, who co-authored the paper with me. And I guess that certainly was a really exciting piece of clinical work where I drew, with lot of Sharif's encouragement and support, but drew on the client's religious beliefs that were largely underpinning and driving the moral injury that initially we'd overlooked that aspect. And then I guess as time has gone on, worked with similar cases across different religions and different religious backgrounds, but really clearly seeing this theme, particularly when working with moral injury, actually the real value if religion is a key part of somebody's identity, then the real relevance to their PTSD and their distress and that ongoing maintenance, unless that's considered. So that's something that over time kept coming up and with Sharif’s encouragement, he'd been saying all along, we should publish a paper on this. And I was like, yeah, yeah, sure. But then I guess when, over time when that kept coming up, we thought, okay, this is an idea actually that I think is a key part of the missing puzzle that perhaps didn't seem to be written about or widely talked ...
