What is moral injury?
Moral injury is the suffering people experience when we are in high-stakes situations, things go wrong, and harm results. The suffering is grounded in our moral conscience, which struggles to make sense of devastating experiences that challenge our identities, deepest moral codes, and ability to trust in others or ourselves. The harm may be something we did, something we witnessed, something we failed to prevent, or something that was done to us. It results in moral emotions such as shame, guilt, outrage, and sorrow, and withdrawal from significant relationships.
Shay argues that moral injury is also present when there has been a betrayal of what is right by a person in a position of legitimate authority in a high-stakes situation. “Both forms of moral injury impair the capacity for trust and elevate despair, suicidality and interpersonal violence,”
Moral injury “deteriorates their character; their ideals, ambitions and attachments begin to change and shrink. It sometimes destroys the capacity for trust. When social trust is destroyed, it is replaced by the settled expectancy of harm, exploitation, and humiliation from others.”
