Description
Introducing the first self-help workbook on moral injury, featuring a powerful approach grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you heal moral pain and connect with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
If you’ve experienced, witnessed, or failed to prevent an act that violates your own deeply held values—such as accidentally harming someone in an automobile accident, or failing to save someone from a dangerous situation—you may suffer from moral injury, an enduring psychological and spiritual pain that is often accompanied by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, substance abuse, and other mental health conditions. In order to begin healing, you need to reconnect with your values and what really matters to you as a human being. Written by a renowned team of PTSD and trauma professionals, this workbook can help.
The Moral Injury Workbook is the first workbook of its kind to offer a powerful step-by-step program to help you move beyond moral pain. With this guide, you’ll learn to work through difficult thoughts, emotions, and spiritual troubles; reconnect with your deeply held sense of self, values, or spiritual beliefs; and gain the psychological flexibility you need to begin healing and live a full and meaningful life. Links to downloadable worksheets for veterans and clinicians are also included.
Whether you’ve experienced moral injury yourself, work in the field of mental health, or are a pastoral advisor seeking new ways to help facilitate moral healing, this workbook is an effective and much-needed resource.
