Resource Library » Soul Injury Self-Awareness Inventory

Soul Injury Self-Awareness Inventory

The mental and emotional injuries that accompany trauma are readily identified. Less recognized are the insidious wounds that occur with trauma and, indeed, with all of us when we become separated from our real self. Whether traumatic or insidious, Soul Injuries cut us off from the energy of our deepest self, robbing us of the essence of our being. Connecting with the part of self-holding the pain, paradoxically, restores wholeness. The basis for addressing Soul Injury originated with a group of VA hospice nurses who cared for 10,000 dying Veterans. The nurses witnessed Soul Injuries firsthand as they surfaced unbidden on combat Veterans’ deathbeds. Let “warrior wisdom” show you how the heart can be disarmed from fear and revitalized through love, forgiveness, and self-compassion – a process that “restoreths the soul.” On this webinar, she will share with you the compelling lessons that DYING veterans have to teach us about a phenomenon called Soul Injury and the unmourned loss and unforgiven guilt and shame that cause it.
