They're, they're...
entwined, but they're different.
PTSD is you're hyper aware,
you're vigilant, you're anxious,
even though you might not label
it as being anxious.
I know when I do my screening
check ins with my therapist
and I fill out
a little questionnaire.
I almost never score
anything elevated
on the anxiety
scoring scoresheet,
but with moral injury,
you aren't necessarily anxious.
You have a true disconnect
between
who you believe
your sense of self is
and what you have experienced.
That goes against that grain
of who you are as a person.
And so it is harder
sometimes to be able
to tease those two things out
because they go hand-in-hand.
But it really is about when you
treat your moral injury,
taking
back that part of yourself
and aligning it in the newer
version of yourself,
but not a worse off one
one that
is going to be more complete.
