Moral injury is really about
the things that you experience,
that you can't control,
where you feel like
you have somehow done something
or seen something
where you've crossed a line.
And that is really -
those are the experiences
that we're talking about
that impact
people who eventually end up
developing moral injury.
And that can be very different.
With PTSD,
individuals
might be in a situation
where they're bombed
or they go through an IED
and there is a fear
based response.
And really with moral injury,
what is most
predominant is a guilt
or shame based response.
And there's a
spiritual component where people
are really struggling
with the issue
oftentimes of forgiveness or who
they are as a person.
And what
they did means about them.
