What is moral injury, and who can it impact? Moral injury, as defined by this episode's guest is: It is an existential and or spiritual crisis. that can be the consequence of having been trained to override the intrinsic and instinctive aversion to the taking of human life, that it is about killing, which is an act that can't be undone. And that humans are not prepared for the aftermath of that. It can also be the consequence of having engaged in combat operations, however necessary at the time, that creates a conflict between one's moral code and one's actions. There is that dissonance between what I was raised to believe, what I was taught to believe, what I do believe, and what I just had to do."  Moral injury impacts military personnel, veterans, war correspondents, first responders, and medical personnel.  Eva Usadi, MA, BCD, CGP,  an EMDR-certified therapist and consultant, discusses how EMDR therapy can heal moral injury.

According to The National Child Traumatic Stress Network, complex trauma is "both children's exposure to multiple traumatic events—often of an invasive, interpersonal nature—and the wide-ranging, long-term effects of this exposure. These events are severe and pervasive, such as abuse or profound neglect. They usually occur early in life and can disrupt many aspects of the child's development and the formation of a sense of self. Since these events often occur with a caregiver, they interfere with the child's ability to form a secure attachment. Many aspects of a child's healthy physical and mental development rely on this primary source of safety and stability." Professor Paul W. Miller, M.D.,  BCh, BAO, DMH, MRCPsych, FRSA, psychiatrist, EMDR-certified therapist, trainer, consultant, speaker, and author discusses how complex trauma can impact someone, whether PTSD is always a given with those clients, and how EMDR can improve their lives - even patients with Schizophrenia.

Dissociation is a disconnection between a person's thoughts, sensory experience, memory, and/or sense of identity. On a mild level, dissociation is a common experience many people recognize as wanting to detach from something emotionally stressful. On a more extreme level, it can cause difficulty functioning in everyday life and create a loss of connection to a person's sense of self. Dissociation can occur as a result of experiencing trauma. In this episode, we chat with EMDR Certified Therapist, Trainer, and Consultant D. Michael Coy, MA, LICSW, about EMDR therapy, complex trauma, and dissociation.  References from this episode. Dworkin, M. (2005).
