Show Notes
COVID changed everything — and for many PTs, it left emotional wounds that haven't healed. Kristin Walls and Lisa Kohler join us to unpack “moral injury” — how it’s different from burnout, how it showed up in outpatient and acute care settings, and why it matters for the future of physical therapy.
They preview their CSM talk, highlight new research on provider wellness, and share initiatives like the Wellness Committee and a national survey on professional sustainability.
In this episode:
- Defining moral injury for PTs
- CSM talk preview: The Invisible Wound
- Ethics vs. morals in clinical practice
- Post-traumatic growth and how to achieve it
