Moral Injury

Moral injury is a relatively recent term used to describe a crisis soldiers have faced for centuries, the internal suffering resulting from doing something against their moral code. In essence, it is a wound to the conscience. However, it is not just military members that can experience this. And what is this?

It is soul anguish, a broken spirit, a shredded soul.

Anyone who works with marginalized, at-risk populations has probably seen that empty stare that can be moral injury. People in poverty. People struggling with addiction. People whose daily lives and choices erode their feeling of being a good and decent person worthy of respect. People who carry unprocessed grief and guilt in ordinary life. People with stressful life-and-death-type situational jobs, such as police officers, doctors, and nurses. Because of things we do, witness is ordered to do, or fail to do in high-stakes situations. We can lose our moral foundations and sense of being good.
