I personally believe that people do the best they can with the tools they have in that situation at that time.
Ever faced a situation where your actions clashed with your deepest values? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast with DocSnipes', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes delves into the heart-wrenching topic of moral injury and abandonment. Moral injury can leave you questioning your own sense of self, safety, and personal power. Dr. Snipes explains how these experiences can erode empathy and create a chasm between your actions and your ethical beliefs, leading to cognitive dissonance and a fractured self-concept.
Abandonment, whether by choice or circumstance, adds another layer of trauma. Imagine having to choose one path over another, knowing the emotional toll it will take. Or consider the pain of watching leaders you once respected commit morally reprehensible acts. These scenarios can deeply affect your mental health, leaving you grappling with feelings of guilt, shame, and helplessness. Dr. Snipes offers practical advice for navigating these turbulent waters.
She discusses distress tolerance techniques and ways to rebuild your self-concept, helping you move forward with a renewed sense of purpose. This episode is packed with actionable insights aimed at fostering emotional resilience and understanding. Whether you're a mental health professional seeking to better support your clients or someone personally affected by moral injury and abandonment, this episode provides valuable tools and compassionate guidance.
