Garret Biss, a Marine Corps Veteran and recovery coach, discusses the challenges of transitioning out of the military and finding meaning in life after service. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and self-acceptance during this process. Biss highlights the need to focus on strengths, commonalities with others, and the positive aspects of one's experiences. He also suggests practicing self-compassion and using a mirror exercise to build self-esteem. Biss believes that finding meaning in suffering and embracing post-traumatic growth can lead to a more fulfilling life. The conversation covers the importance of connection and authenticity in our lives, as well as the need to normalize conversations around mental health. It also touches on the topic of firearms and signs to look for when someone is struggling with their mental health. Links: https://UnspokenTrauma.vet (TEDx)
