These interpreted themes mirror multiple layers of complex policing trauma in these participants that over time eroded hope. They reveal a growing awareness of moral injury that only found voice, postdischarge. Chronic exposure to policing trauma was experienced as a domino effect slowly diminishing self-worth and consequently corroding their earlier sense of purpose as police personnel. Intrinsically, shame was interpreted as having failed. Discharge dissociated them from the collegial support necessary to reintegrate into their postdischarge lives. Instead, former altruistic selves became reclusive. These participants attributed "felt" distress as directly attributable to organizational factors that left them feeling invalidated, betrayed, and without support. Over time, some experienced a newfound appreciation of "self", facilitated by hope. Implications for clinical practice and policy are discussed.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:10:15 AEST ]]> The ‘lived’ experience of career international aid personnel in complex humanitarian emergencies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32164 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:42:35 AEST ]]>
