Moral Injury. Workbook on Overcoming Guilt, Anger, and Self-Condemnation

When we find ourselves in situations where we are unable to prevent actions that contradict our beliefs and values, we experience moral injury. This syndrome is characterized by guilt, shame, and obsessive self-condemnation. The causes of moral injury include combat actions; mistakes in prescribed treatments; abuses in professional activities; management decisions that put other people at risk; performing duties with which one categorically disagrees. Moral injury also affects individuals who find themselves in critical situations, such as refugees, journalists, military personnel, and their families. When our values are violated, we feel hopeless, and it can be difficult to find the strength within us to live with it. This workbook contains an effective program that will help you: cope with difficult thoughts, emotions, and spiritual struggles; restore your connection with your feelings; develop flexibility and forgiveness; feel relief in order to continue living well.
