Ep. 011: VICTOR CABRAL – “YOU CAN’T FORCE AN AGENDA YOU HAVE TO INSPIRE ONE”
LISTEN NOW
In this episode I’m talking with Victor Cabral he is the Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs for Fluence Training. Fluence for those of you who don’t know is on the cutting edge of psychedelic therapy and training. We talk about his first psychedelic experience, trauma, philosophy and a lot more.
He is a research-based systems thinker with expertise in policy development, advocacy, BIPOC mental health, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, racial trauma, and is a practicing psychotherapist with training in Internal Family Systems, and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (MDMA and Ketamine). Victor was also listed on the Students for Sensible Drug Policy’s list of ’40 Under 40 Outstanding BIPOC Leaders in Drug Policy in the United States’ for his work in psychedelic policy.
