When Life Changes Faster Than Identity | Online Workshop

Moving abroad. Retiring. Leaving the military. Starting over. We prepare for the external shift. What catches most people off guard is what happens underneath — the quiet disorientation, the sense of not quite recognizing yourself in this new context, the feeling that something is off even when everything looks fine on paper.
This isn't a mindset problem. It's psychology. And it has a name.
In this 60-minute session, Keith Gissubel will walk you through what's actually happening during major life transitions — through the lens of identity theory, self-regulation, and flow research — and what the science says actually helps people find their footing again.
This talk draws from his doctoral research in Applied Psychology, applied work with transitioning veterans, and research partnerships focused on identity and human performance.
If you've quietly thought "why doesn't this feel the way I expected?" — this is for you.
