Abstract
There has been an upsurge in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) research, but these efforts have not included trauma clinicians. Using a constructivist grounded research methodology, we examined clinicians’ views about military PTSD, their experiences in utilizing accepted interventions, and the personal impacts of this work. Our findings indicate that clinicians struggle with conceptualizations of PTSD, accepted treatments, and the requirements of navigating the Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) bureaucracy. Demands to negotiate occupational realities while attempting care for clients underpinned experiences of emotional exhaustion. Contrasting the literature on secondary trauma, bureaucratic forces, implied expert status, and lack of supports for clinicians were at the root of exhaustion. Military trauma clinicians appear caught in the politics of treatment with detrimental effects on their health. This study is the first to explore clinician views on the benefits and costs of working with military trauma survivors.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
