Description
This episode is the first in a 4-part series dedicated to Transition Veterans. Over the next 4 weeks, Bennet and I will be taking a look at topics that Transitioning Veterans may deal with at some point in their life post-military. In part 1 of this series, Bennet and I are joined by Tim Parkhurst as we discuss PTSD and Moral Injury. What are the differences and what are the similarities?
IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
We are often surrounded by all things PTSD, so much in fact that it would be a bigger story if we were to find a veteran that served that doesn’t have PTSD right? I know I get bombarded by this all the time too! Have you ever stopped and wondered if everyone that claims to be suffering from PTSD really has PTSD? If it’s not PTSD, but there is clearly an issue going on, then what is it?
A rather new term is on the horizon that not many are talking about and that is Moral Injury. So what is Moral Injury? Great question. This is exactly what Tim, Bennett, and I dig into on this episode. Below you will also find some great links to some resources that can help you understand this in greater detail.
