How to get "unstuck" from unhealed hurts
1. Identify
You must identify the KIND of hurt you have, so you can address that type of hurt (and not something else).
2. Implement
Many people carry trauma longer than needed, because they implement the wrong protocol for that type healing. The wrong remedy works... for other issues.
3. Increase
With the correct strategy in place, you'll increase your strength (capacity to withstand pressure in the future) and resiliency (ability to "bounce" back and heal faster.
What's unique about GY6?
Three distinctives make the GY6 approach different.
#1 = GY6 affirms there are three "parts" of we need to address.
Though each part impacts the others, the body, the soul, and the spirit are each unique. Many people don't distinguish between the soul and the spirit... which leads to much confusion.
They each serve us in unique ways, and they can each be injured in specific ways. As a result, they must be healed in their own way, too.
#2 = GY6 acknowledges that healing happens in two ways...
Sometimes healing happens "instantly (and looks like a miracle. Other times healing occurs "over time" (and looks like a lifestyle of health and wholeness).
We see both of them working together in the New Testament.
If a miracle occurs (instant healing), we want to steward the blessing by "walking it out" (intentional health). At the same time, we can "walk it out" (intentional health) and often reap the same results, over time, as a miracle.
#3 = GY6 also access the wisdom of Scripture and the gains made in science...
We see it all working together, all taking us to the space God intends for us.
And we communicate the concepts in simple-to-understand-and-apply ways.
I'm Andy Jenkins
I'm the facilitator + creator of GY6.
That's my wife, Beth, who helps make all the magic happen.
I like to think I thrive at the intersection of Scripture, science, and simplicity (the three-pronged approach shared in the graphic above).
I created the GY6 movement to equip first responders, veterans, and everyday heroes with resilience resources so they can overcome the hurts of PTSD and Moral Injury and more fully step into (or keep pursuing) their Kingdom purpose.
I've written and co-authored 30+ books, including 7 related to mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
This one...
... it's my favorite of all of them, because of the impact I believe it can make.
I send a daily email devotional to more than 100,000 people every morning at 5am, I host a weekly podcast, and I teach in a variety of settings— from local workshops to churches to business groups to military bases.
Whether coaching high-level leaders 1:1, equipping ministry leaders and nonprofit boards to lead at the next level, or making complex ideas practical for other teachers and facilitators, I long to awaken people to the grace and saves them and sustains them to live-out the significant call God has on their life.

Transform the similar distress & hurt into the same discovery of health & healing.
The GY6 manual features three sections, with two lessons per section (6 total lessons), following the aforementioned schedule.
🧩 Part 1 | Total Health - Body, Soul, & Spirit
We discuss the importance of total wholeness-- and how we must heal the kind of hurt we have.
We affirm that each part of us matters-- body, soul, and spirit. And, we'll only be as strong as the weakest part, since each “part” impacts the others.
💥 Part 2 | PTSD - A Soul Hurt
PTSD is a response to external threats and primarily impacts our emotions.
We discuss what triggers are, why emotional disruptions occur, and how to read the present for what it is instead of always interpreting it in light of the past— and we affirm that having the past inform the present isn’t always bad (i.e., “the training kicks in and we know exactly what to do).
☢️ Part 3 | Moral Injury - A Spiritual Wound
Moral Injury is a response to internal threats and primarily impacts our beliefs and convictions about what we have done, what we failed to do, what’s been done to us, and more.
We talk about the importance of the spirit, the difference between PTSD & Moral Injury, and how to heal this more prevalent hurt than PTSD. Of note, Moral Injury seems more prevalent than PTSD and appears to drive the suicide rate among “heroes.”
More About Healing PTSD & Moral Injury
Any "part" of us can be injured.
Each of those types of injuries require different healing modalities, because each part of us is unique.
We must heal the kind of hurt we have, or the healing protocol ineffective, we might lose hope, and we might even feel broken or beyond help.
The soul is the first "unseen" part of us we address (part 2 of the book).
The soul includes:
🧠 Your mind and your thoughts
💙 Your will and your desires
😇 Your emotions and your feelings
The soul is how we interact with the world around us, how we initially know each other, and how we respond to our environment.
God created the soul...
... and the soul, like everything He created, is good.
But the soul can be injured. And, as you walk through this life, it commonly is.
When the "soul" is injured, it looks like Post Traumatic Stress, an invisible wound that manifests as...
1️⃣ Hyper-vigilance (i.e., you're "always on," assessing threats), because you...
2️⃣ Continue reading present circumstances in light of past chaos.
Notably, it's a normal response to elevated events.
The spirit is the second "unseen" part of us we address (part 3 of the book).
Your spirit is:
🙏 The part of you connected to God's spirit
⭐️ The part of you that transcends time and space (God fore-ordained GRACE for you in the past, as well as the "great works" you will experience in your life, the purpose for which you were designed) (see Romans 6:6-8, Ephesians 2:8-10).
Your spirit is the seat of conscience and conviction, it provides your moral compass, and it helps you distinguish good from evil and right from wrong...
The spirit is the part of you that is completely linked to God (even when we're unaware of it).
The spirit can be injured as well.
When the spirit is hurt, it looks like Moral Injury, an invisible wound that manifests as...
😬 Guilt (i.e., "I did something wrong... an action"), and often at a deeper level...
🫣 Shame (i.e., "I am something wrong. I'm not worthy of being accepted by God or others and I'm beyond grace..."
We weren't designed to carry guilt (which is also a normal response to adverse situations); we were created by God to carry grace.
Many people confuse PTSD and Moral Injury... they think they (or someone they know) has "one" when they often have "the other."
Two reasons generally create this confusion.
1️⃣ Some are unaware of the distinctions between the soul and the spirit (and consider them to be the same as opposed to unique parts of us)
2️⃣ Some see the common "presenting symptoms" highlighted in the image (i.e., anger, anxiety, depression, insomnia, nightmares, self-medication, withdrawal) and automatically associate those with PTSD-- the more commonly known invisible hurt. Yet, these often accompany Moral Injury, as well.
But PTSD is not Moral Injury and Moral Injury is not PTSD. To walk in freedom, you must heal the hurt you have.
Here's the key distinction between the two:
🔫 When it's a "soul hurt" (read: PTSD), it's a response to something OUTSIDE of you... a sight, sound, smell, taste, or texture might "trigger" a reaction when you read present circumstances in light of your past experiences.
PTSD comes from "out there."
On the other hand...
📍 When it's a "spirit hurt" (read: Moral Injury), it's a response to something INSIDE of you... to a past event that marked you that makes you feel guilt and/or shame based on something you did, failed to do, an event that happened, something done to you, etc...
Moral Injury comes from "in here."
Here's where it gets even deeper...
The symptoms of PTSD (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) tend to diminish over time (especially when we "do the work"). We learn to read the present on its own terms, rather than consistently filtering it through the lenses of the past.
The symptoms of Moral Injury (guilt & shame) tend to escalate. Guilt and shame not only cause affected persons to NOT disclose what experience, the longer the feelings linger, the more lethal they become.
(I feel that Moral Injury-- not suicide-- is a much larger issue and is the culprit behind the suicide epidemic many of our heroes encounter.)

Why the strange name?
When the first U.S. pilots flew into war, over a century ago, they could not see behind them— only ahead of them (the 12 o’clock position) and only to the side (the 9 and 3 positions).
They could not see their “6.”
But other pilots could, and they would effectively tell the man ahead of them, “I’ve got your back. I’m looking out for you. Nothing will harm you as long as I’m here. I’ve got your six.”
This mantra has carried forth to other military personnel, law enforcement officers, and heroes of all kinds. The inference is the same: you’re covered.
Yes, it will work for you...
Every time I teach this material to a large group in a workshop setting, sit across the table at a coffee shop and talk 1:1, or even meetup via Zoom, several common themes emerge.
💥 Something "big" happened. Sometimes it was a "one-time" big and other times it was a cumulative "pile up" of something smaller. Whatever the case, it becomes a heavy weight to carry.
🤷♂️ But there always others carrying something (in our minds) that's bigger, so we tend to minimize our own issues.
😳 And other times there's a perceived (and sometimes real) cost of getting help. What will people think? What about my job? What about the role I have?
⭐️ You can't heal someone else's hurt (you can help, but you can't heal it), so you must address your own.
📈 And when you do, you find that the tools work AND you become better equipped to serve your friends, lead your family, and even impact those around you at an even greater capacity.
