From SEAL to shrink, Jeff Boss’s life has been exploring edges of performance and health. After 13 years as a Navy SEAL with eight deployments, Jeff transitioned to the private sector. After five years of battling grief and finding his place in civilian society, he did something he thought he’d never do - ask for help.
In this powerful conversation, Jeff explains his philosophy behind becoming a warrior which is accessible to anyone, his mission as a clinical therapist primarily supporting first responders, and his approach to life.
We discuss effective forms of help, self-care, the skill of awareness, benefits of experiencing emotions, empathy vs sympathy, using stress advantageously, and much more.
Jeff writes beautifully on nuance within words and dichotomies within concepts. Getting to learn about his story and philosophy was an extremely enjoyable experience that offered numerous actionable strategies we can all take to start becoming a warrior in our own lives.
