When Doing the Right Thing Breaks You

0 Comments

In this session short, trauma therapist Bonita explores moral injury, the deep psychological wound that occurs when people are forced to witness, participate in, or stay silent about actions that violate their core values. Common in first responders, healthcare, education, social services, and toxic workplaces, moral injury is not burnout or weakness. It is an integrity wound caused by systemic failure. Bonita explains how moral injury impacts identity, meaning, and the nervous system, and outlines trauma-informed paths toward healing and reconnection.
