“Who Am I Now?” Moral Injury, Identity Fractures & Recovery

Ever think, “I did what I had to do… but it doesn’t sit right”? That heavy, value-based pain may be moral injury—a wound to conscience and identity, not just stress or trauma.

Host Lisa Urbanski talks with Dr. Carter Check about the practical first steps that help you rebuild meaning, trust, and self-respect.

In this episode, we cover:
• Moral injury vs trauma

• Guilt vs identity fracture

• Why isolation amplifies shame

• “companioning” (support without fixing)

• Why nature helps create conditions for healing

• What to do today
