3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Interesting and well-written workbook to help conceptualize and frame moral injury and find a path to healing. Not everything in this work resonated with me, but the authors state early on that this is to be expected, and that we can find the guidance and stories that do resonate and build from them. Also, the definition of what constitutes a moral injury is mostly clear but somewhat ambiguous, which the authors also acknowledge. Because of this, I think but am not sure that my personal trauma counts as a moral injury. In fact, there are few things that I think wouldn't count as moral injury based on the definition, which makes it feel less useful as a stand-alone concept. But the overall guidance and psychological conceptualization towards healing is helpful and this workbook will be a great resource to many.

A useful workbook, but for those suffering from moral injuries, it could be triggering. It touches tender places that might be better in conjunction with a therapist, then on your own. A worthy work in the field of mental health, much will be learned from reading it.

Heart and mind talk, explorations of morals and emotions.

The exercises in the book engages and challenges readers to understand and recognise why certain thoughts are presented and ways to comprehend our reactions and feelings.

A good read when you need to reflect, understand and realise why is it you do the things you do.

I love how detailed and involving this book is which lives up to it being essentially a workbook. You learn, reflect and apply what is herein and often we overlook the trauma we experience as observers- and that's why I wanted to read this, to know how best to deal with this and heal from some of the injustices I have seen and never been in a position to act or change the situation.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
