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 ]]> Combat-related distress, quality-of-life in veterans, posttrauma growth: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53457 Wed 10 Apr 2024 15:13:20 AEST ]]> Dehumanisation, politicisation and growth: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of refugee and asylum seeker detention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52330 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:19:56 AEDT ]]>
