Dr. Dan Pronk, a former army special operations doctor, faced these difficulties after leaving the military, exposing him to symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress resulting from unprocessed combat experiences. Dissatisfied with his initial interaction with a psych-ologist, Dan delved into the psychology of transition, documenting his observations and lessons in this book.Presented in an accessible style with anecdotes and humour, this book serves as a guide for individuals navigating the complex journey from high-stakes professions to thriving civilian life. Drawing on his own experiences, Dan offers insights to help formulate a plan for a successful post-transition adaptation.Dan's background includes a diverse journey from a chubby kid in Australia to passing SAS selection, serving as a doctor in army special operations with multiple tours in Afghanistan, and earning a decoration for his actions in combat. Post-military, he completed an MBA and has authored or co-authored multiple best-selling books including '\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Combat Doctor'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and '\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Resilience Shield'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dan remains active in tactical medicine, serving as a consultant to military and police tactical groups and co-owning the private company TacMed Australia. Residing in South Australia, he balances family and work lives with a passion for vintage sports cars.This book not only shares Dan's personal story but provides valuable insights and strategies for those undergoing a similar journey of reintegration into civilian life after intense occupational experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Pronk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1923078143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923078147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivid Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.49d","brand":"Dan Pronk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44891017871615,"sku":"9781923078147","price":16.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c6d97be-6d62-4591-82c9-15d3ba68a47f.jpg?v=1709740688","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sht-i-wished-i-knew-dan-pronk-9781923078147","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
