The concept of "Moral Injury" was explicitly brought into the limelight by Prof. Brett Litz in his 2009 seminal paper. Moral dilemmas recur frequently in the consulting room with veterans and others. An example of a moral dilemma is as a veteran witnessing sexual abuse and at the same time having the desire to shoot the perpetrator to end this unpleasant scene. The unpleasantness of such a moral dilemma is that both outcomes contradict one's moral compass. After such a dilemma - with whichever outcome - patients experience a gnawing sense of guilt, and if this guilt is not explicitly addressed, this feeling will continue to trouble the patient for life.

They define safety behaviors, the outcomes that would either refute or support the belief, and practice this functional behavior through role-play. At the beginning of this session, Richard expresses anger about something that occurred in the previous session. The importance of the therapeutic relationship is explicitly addressed.

In the opening session, Patricia discusses the previous Zoom conversation, in which the patient shares his experiences about his time in the military and his abduction. She particularly focuses on one of his most impactful traumas, delving deeper into it. Additionally, Patricia Resick provides the patient with a detailed explanation of what CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) entails and how it can help him manage his trauma.

During the sixth session, a Zoom conversation takes place in which they follow the ABC model. "B" represents the sticking point they want to work on. The ABC model is a cognitive behavioral therapy technique that helps to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With the help of the ABC model, patients and therapists can together identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more realistic thoughts.
