Key Terms

  • A phenomenon in which one knows the right action to take but is constrained from taking it.

  • The psychological, social, and spiritual impact of events involving betrayal or transgression of one's own deeply held moral beliefs and values occurring in high stakes situations.

    Moral injury is not a recognized mental health disorder in itself, but may be associated with PTSD or depression.

  • Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation.

  • Burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

    It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (cynicism), and decreased efficacy at work (wondering if one is making a difference).

  • Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living. (Mayo)

  • Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). (Mayo)

  • Somatic practices help people release damaging, pent-up emotions in their body by using various mind-body techniques.
