About:
Abion “Abi” Dorhosti is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and doctoral candidate in Transpersonal Psychology at Sofia University, where she designed the Veteran Leadership concentration and will begin teaching later this year.
Drawing on twenty-five years of military service in support of the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the Intelligence Community, she brings lived experience of leadership, service, and post-service transition into her scholarly and clinical work. Her doctoral research examines the Outside-In Pathway, a sequential mixed-methods investigation into whether externally received compassion facilitates self-compassion access in veterans with moral injury, with an exploratory interest in how non-ordinary states of consciousness may facilitate compassionate experience. She is completing her PhD alongside certificates in psychedelic research and ecopsychology, reflecting her commitment to integrating emerging science with transpersonal, ecological, and relational approaches to healing.
Abi’s work is grounded in the understanding that moral injury is not only a psychological wound but a rupture in identity, meaning, and belonging, requiring relational, experiential, and often transpersonal pathways to repair. Central to this work is the concept of compassionate witnessing, which she explores as both a relational healing mechanism and a subject of scholarly inquiry. She is the founder of Amistar Foundation and Liminal Experiences, LLC, and an invited speaker whose presentations have reached hundreds of veterans, clinicians, and researchers.
Her work bridges military experience, emerging research, and embodied practice, supporting veterans and others healing from trauma in moving from shame and disconnection toward self-compassion, purpose, and renewed participation in life.
