About this listen

An Iraq War veteran's riveting journey from suicidal despair to hope.

After serving in a scout-sniper platoon in Mosul, Tom Voss came home carrying invisible wounds of war - the memory of doing or witnessing things that went against his fundamental beliefs. This was not a physical injury that could heal with medication and time but a "moral injury" - a wound to the soul that eventually urged him toward suicide. Desperate for relief from the pain and guilt that haunted him, Voss embarked on a 2,700-mile journey across America, walking from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the Pacific Ocean with a fellow veteran. Listeners walk with these men as they meet other veterans, Native American healers, and spiritual teachers who appear in the most unexpected forms. At the end of their trek, Voss realizes he is really just beginning his healing. He pursues meditation training and discovers sacred breathing techniques that shatter his understanding of war and himself, and move him from despair to hope. Voss's story will give inspiration to veterans, their friends and family, and survivors of all kinds.

Relevance to my PTSD moral injuries

I’m an Australian (NSW) correctional officer with 23 years service in maximum security correctional centres. Whilst mine and Tom’s workplaces can be considered significantly different in many aspects, we both faced daily threats to our personal safety, and the safety of our teams. This leaves a lasting impact, but so too does the extreme MORAL trauma present in my workplace. Again, whilst different, the psychological wounds are exactly the same. I felt a connection with Tom’s story which made me feel as though I’m not alone. Thank you Tom for opening up and sharing.
