Have you seen the new Amazon Prime series, Guerrera? What did you think of it? DAV recently sat down with Sam Juan, a member of the unit featured in the series, for a very candid conversation. In the conversation, Sam (AKA @the1sam__juan on social media) shares her journey from serving in one of the military’s most demanding roles to struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, and ultimately, discovering the potential of plant-based psychedelic therapy. Through her experience, she sheds light on the power of ibogaine, the importance of ritual in healing and the pressing need for greater access to alternative treatments for veterans. #veterans #psychedelictherapy #psychedelics #ibogaine

“I found out I lost my job off the clock, on my day off—without a warning, without a meeting, without even a termination letter. Just a locked computer screen and a stunned supervisor confirming the news. And here’s the worst part: the veterans lost more than I did.” -Kara Oliver, Navy veteran - Fired from Department of Veterans Affairs Visit https://lnkd.in/gYggedyp to learn more.
