Developing the Warrior Withdrawal model

This interview features Varpas, a decorated, retired Marine Corps officer and Tier 1 Special Operations operator, detailing his intense career and the harsh realities of transitioning out of elite service. He discusses his unique psychological model, Warrior Withdrawal, which maps the emotional and identity struggles of leaving the hyper-focused warrior life onto the 11 symptoms of Substance Abuse Disorder. The discussion centers on the dramatic loss of purpose and community, and his advocacy for solutions while serving as a psychologist helping veterans navigate these exact challenges.
