Hold on to your hats because in this interview we take a deep dive into moral injury with my guest Timothy Shaw, PhD.  Dr. Shaw studies the impact, origins and implications of moral injury. And in this interview I can say that I definitely received a master class in the finer points of what this term means and how it impacts individuals.  Timothy has undertaken original research into how laws of war and deeper considerations of ethics and justice can inform our understanding of moral injury, the ‘signature sound’ of contemporary war. Timothy has taught ethics at university of Sydney and holds a research masters investigating the implications of just war theory - the most uninterrupted, longest-continuing study of moral decision-making known in the Western World - on psychological distress arising from preparative agency. In addition, Tim received his PhD on the topic of moral injury, and the question of why killing is traumatic using the ethical optics of French philosopher, Emmannuel Levinas. Tim is also edi

Statistics show there are more than 45 million survivors of child sexual abuse in North America and that one in five boys on this continent are sexually abused before age 18.  The experience can unleash a bitter struggle for connection, and it can leave survivors grappling with a debilitating fallout that ranges from alcoholism and drug addiction to mental illness and a general failure to thrive. Author Lee Lyttle brings hope for healing to millions of broken families through his lyrical memoir, Wounded Healer. The book unveils the profound yet raw story of Lyttle’s journey through childhood sexual trauma and the debilitating experiences as an alcoholic that eventually followed. He tracks the shattering feelings of isolation and bitterness that haunted his days, along with his conscious mind’s demanding desire to numb his memories of the hideous day when his innocence was stolen from him.  In This EpisodeLee’s WebsiteThe Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, Bessel van der Kolk

Dr. Damon Wood is back on the podcast.Damon was my guest on episode 400 of The Trauma Therapist | Podcast in which we talked about safety within the prison setting.Today, however, he’s back to share a personal story, about why he decided to leave working within the prison system. I think you’ll find this episode enlightening as Damon talks about his struggle and the conflict he had with his decision to leave and yet the love he had for his colleagues. He also talks about the push and pull therapists sometimes feel between working with a group of professionals as opposed to working in private practice.  damonwoodphd@gmail.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5739761/advertisement
