Description
When moral injury occurs in the context of trauma, it makes symptoms like guilt, shame, and anger so much worse and therapy so much more difficult. Facing situations that conflict with personal values leaves your military and veteran clients carrying deep pain that you need to know how to address. In this session Wyatt will provide an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based guide through moral pain focused on compassion, forgiveness, and values (re)alignment so that you can facilitate healing, connection, and vitality for your clients.
