TRIGR, which is
my treatment for moral injury,
has allowed me
to have a
comprehensive understanding
of those experiences,
my actions
within those experiences,
my values,
intertwine
with the facts at hand.
That understanding brings me
to my conscious self
that I did my duty.
My team members, my crew
members, my fellow crew members
from the commanding officer
to the most junior person
on the Coast Guard Cutters
that I was involved with,
the air station
that I was part of,
those Mobil stations
that I was part of,
they did their
absolute very best
under difficult circumstances
to affect a rescue.
Those rescues were not
always what we wanted.
Their outcomes were
not what we wanted.
TRIGR has helped
me look at it,
break it down,
dissect those feelings,
and connect them to facts.
TRIGR has
helped me to understand,
to really have
clarity of my emotions,
my memories,
my values, my actions,
and how they relate
to the results of those cases.
