Surviving Moral Injury with David Peters

from The ChurchNext Podcast · host David Peters, Elizabeth Brignac

We'd like the universe to be simple to navigate in terms of moral choices -- but in reality, many choices and events are morally confusing, complex, or ambiguous. Sometimes, people get hurt -- through accidents, morally difficult choices, and other complicated scenarios. When that happens, the people who cause the injury can experience lasting trauma related to the sense that they should somehow have made better choices. They feel that their situation has caused them to violate their own moral codes, and they often suffer symptoms similar (but not identical) to those of PTSD.This type of trauma is called moral injury, and nobody understands it better than David Peters. As a person who has both experienced moral injury and worked with others who have dealt with it, David has written several books and many articles on the subject of moral injury. He has made it part of his mission to tell the world what moral injury is and how to heal from it.  His four talks include:Introduction to Moral InjuryMoral Injury and Its ImplicationsSeeking Healing from Moral InjurySelf Care and Helping OthersThis course is ideal for anyone who suspects they might be suffering from moral injury, for their caregivers, and for anyone who works routinely with veterans and others at risk for moral injury.
