Documentary and Discussion: “Almost Sunrise”: A Journey to Heal the Moral Injuries of War11/15/2018 Today Dr. Suzanne Phillips welcomed Tom Voss as a guest on Psych Up Live. Tom is one of the veterans featured in the important documentary, “Almost Sunrise.” This compelling documentary features two Iraq veterans, Tom Voss and Anthony Anderson, tormented by the scars of moral injury and the accompanying anger and depression for years after returning home. Close to suicide, both embark on an extraordinary journey – a 2,700 mile walk across the country from Wisconsin to California, to reflect on their haunting experiences of war and ultimately save themselves. Listen in as Tom Voss will be sharing his thoughts and perspectives on moral injury and the aspects of his journey that fostered steps toward remembering, connecting, self-compassion, connection with nature, breathing and forgiving across miles and modalities. Tom will also share what it means to return home emotionally, and his mission to help other veterans.
