Moral Injury Trauma: The Many Faces of Alienation from Spirit and Self

In recent years, the trauma field has identified moral injury as another type of trauma that affects people in various occupations and situations. This workshop will review the definition and types of moral injury. Dr Paulsen will also discuss how many of the cases we work with daily have underlying elements of moral injury as well, even for those traumatized as children, before the age of moral maturity. She will suggest strategies for targeting moral injuries and, when needed, blocking beliefs.
