Martha Crawford, at Bluesky: "Its important to identify for yourself what moral injury (as witnesses & those coerced) feels like and how to recognize its after effects"
"There are many kinds of trauma that don’t necessarily activate moral injury - impulsive uncharacteristic behaviors, accidents, natural events, things beyond personal control
Moral injury emerges from witnessing, being unable to stop, or coerced to engage in sadistic cruelty."
at the Lancet:
"Moral injury is understood to be the strong cognitive and emotional response that can occur following events that violate a person's moral or ethical code. Potentially morally injurious events include a person's own or other people's acts of omission or commission, or betrayal by a trusted person in a high-stakes situation. "
