Episode Description:
In Week 4 of The Warrior Within, we’re addressing two of the most hidden—and spiritually painful—wounds many trauma survivors carry: moral injury and survivor’s guilt. Whether you're a veteran grappling with what happened in combat, or a civilian struggling with shame after escaping abuse or outliving others, these wounds go beyond the emotional—they cut into the soul.
In this episode, Coach Liz shares the truth: you are not defined by what you saw, did, or survived—you are being refined through recovery.
Key Topics Covered:
- What is Moral Injury?
Soul-level pain from actions or events that violated your core beliefs - What is Survivor’s Guilt?
Deep shame or questioning after surviving something others didn’t - The Shame Cycle:
How guilt can spiral into isolation, addiction, self-sabotage, and fear of joy
Spiritual Reflection:
Psalm 103:10 — “He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.”
You don’t have to carry what Jesus already covered.
Reflection Prompts:
- Where do I still feel ashamed for surviving or for decisions made during trauma?
- What would it feel like to forgive myself—or accept that I’m already forgiven
