Moral Injury
Moral injury is what happens when our values, beliefs, and sense of right and wrong are fractured by experiences we never chose, systems we did not control, and situations that forced impossible decisions.
In this episode, Dr. Deb explores moral injury as a deeply human experience that impacts identity, meaning, trust, and connection. This conversation moves beyond fear based trauma and into the space of shame, guilt, grief, anger, betrayal, and disillusionment, offering a grounded, trauma informed understanding of how moral injury forms and how healing becomes possible.
In this episode:
• What moral injury is and how it differs from fear based trauma
• How values conflicts impact identity and meaning
• Why shame, guilt, grief, and betrayal are common
• How moral injury shows up in the nervous system
• The role of connection, agency, and meaning in healing
Reflection:
Where have your values and experiences felt misaligned?
What parts of you adapted to survive morally challenging environments?
What does integrity feel like in your body?
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is available 24/7 and free and confidential.
