Sabba shares his inspiring journey, from growing up as an Iranian immigrant amidst trauma and adversity to a 20-year tech career, and finally pivoting to create an AI-driven platform that supports psychedelic-assisted therapy. He opens up about his transformative experience with 5-MeO-DMT, the challenges of integration, and the systemic barriers underrepresented communities face in accessing mental health care and psychedelics. This episode delves into the intersection of AI and psychedelics, the critical role of integration in healing, and the urgent need for accessible mental health solutions. Sabba’s insights shed light on the broken therapeutic model, the potential of technology to bridge gaps in care, and the importance of addressing inequities in the psychedelic space. Whether you’re navigating your own mental health journey, curious about the future of psychedelic therapy, or passionate about creating a more inclusive healthcare system, Sabba’s story offers resilience, innovation, and a call to action for meaningful change.
