Daan Keiman - Moving at the Pace of Trust: Rethinking the Bottleneck Problem

The rapid mainstreaming of psychedelic care creates a bottleneck where the demand for therapy exceeds the number of qualified practitioners. This pressure causes many organizations to shorten training protocols and lower professional standards, leading to a focus on scaling rather than deep, comprehensive care. The rush to deliver therapy at speed often undermines safety and ignores the complex, systemic issues that arise in clinical practice. Psychedelic care needs to be understood as a process centered on trust and extensive, rigorous training. Instead of prioritizing speed and profit, the field should embrace a slower approach that values safety and creates properly integrated support systems for participants.
