No Purple Hearts for this injury | S4E6

season 4 Mar 29, 2024

When warriors do things that violate their conscience, their sense of right and wrong, Moral Injury often results.

PTSD is a perceived threat to external circumstances. It “looks like” fight of flight (some people add freeze).

Moral Injury is internal and is expressed as guilt and shame. It’s something we consistently carry with us.

In this episode we talk about the differences— in the next we’ll go into a practical example from the Bible.
