Moral injury
is really made up of two parts.
So one is having an exposure
and the other is symptoms that
result due to that exposure.
So moral injury
is something that you did,
failed to do, or witnessed
that went against your morals
and values.
So it's you crossed a line
somehow and as a result
you have a number of symptoms,
including guilt, shame,
self-hatred, withdrawal, and
the inability to self forgive.
And so depending on the person's
background,
depending on the person's
culture,
depending on their spirituality,
those morals and values
are going to be very different.
And so when we talk to people,
we really try to understand
what their background is first
so we can modify the message
that we're giving to them
based on those particular
individual characteristics.
