Moral injury is when you participate in something that goes against your moral compass, and then you're left feeling a feeling of shame and guilt and believing that you're a bad person.
Ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders after leaving an abusive relationship? In this episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities, Mandy Friedman, a seasoned counselor and trauma expert, sheds light on the concept of moral injury. Survivors often wrestle with intense guilt and shame, feeling like they’ve betrayed their own moral compass through actions taken to survive.
Mandy dives into how these feelings manifest and what can be done to address them. From reactive abuse to substance use and infidelity, she explains these behaviors as survival tactics rather than moral failings. Mandy’s compassionate approach helps survivors reframe their experiences, reducing the emotional burden they carry. By understanding moral injury and learning countermeasures, listeners can start to heal and reclaim their lives. Join Mandy on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram for more supportive discussions.
