This final session provides a time and space for reflection—reflecting on the retreat experiences the participants have just had, their experiences with the program as a whole, and also their plans to take the practice forward. This might include how participants could seek additional support (e.g., joining a local mindfulness group) or even support each other in continued practice. In particular, time is taken to troubleshoot potential difficulties in keeping up with practice, and participants are reminded that, much like exercise, benefits will continue only with continued practice. If the optional booster session(s) will take place, time is spent scheduling and preparing for this.

This might include how you could seek additional support (e.g., joining a local mindfulness group) or even how the group itself can support one other in continued practice.

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.

Journey To The West

I begin my exploration of ‘Ali Mubarak (1823/4–1893) and the discourses on modernization ‘performed’ in his only attempt at fiction, ‘Alam al-Din (The Sign of Religion, 1882), with a quote from Guy Davenport because it elegantly sums up a key theoretical principle underpinning any discussion of cultural transformation and, more particularly, of modernization. Locating ‘Ali Mubarak and his only fictional work at the juncture of the transformation from the ‘traditional’ to the ‘modern’ in the recent history of Arab culture and of Arabic narrative, I find Davenport's pronouncement tantalizingly appropriate. He not only places the stakes of history and geography in one another, but simultaneously opens up the imagination to the combined forces of time and space that stand behind these two distinct yet related disciplines.
