S5 E20 The Fear of Transition: Derek Abbey Pt 2

Derek Abbey, PhD joins me again!  I enjoyed my last
conversation so much with Derek, I invited him back to share his
research on transitioning into the veteran space. Derek says that
there are important stages we should all go through in order to
help us mature as well-functioning adults. The military sets the
perfect conditions by providing almost everything we need as
adults. It provides community, a way to progress through rank and
accomplishment, and makes many of our decisions for us. 


 


Although the military “saved his life”, Derek shares what he has
learned from helping veterans take the next big step in their
lives in higher education and helping veterans take the next big
step in their lives. The result was a fascinating conversation on
what we all need to do to evolve to a better version of
ourselves. 


 


Derek Abbey, PhD is a retired Marine and CEO of  Project
Recover.
