Yes, we did help promote this program and find people who wanted to participate. Strangely enough, however, the production filmed other companies that entered this market much later, and therefore cannot really be called pioneers.
It is actually a strange choice when you have "pioneering" in the title and then opt for, among others, a latecomer to the psychedelic therapy market. Triptherapie and a handful of other parties had already been in the market for five years longer than the one appearing now. The website of one of the parties featured is actually only two years and one month old (dating from August 6, 2023). So when the program was looking for candidates, the so-called pioneer had yet to emerge.
You can also see in this blog about psychedelic pioneering, which was already posted online in October 2022, that we are calling on people to collaborate on this documentary.
Should you still want to know what our offer is and at a fairer price than that other filming provider? Then check out the here prices or information about the various psychedelic sessions.

Triptherapie did not directly participate in the broadcast of Psychedelic Pioneering on NPO 2, but they were involved in the preparation phase.

According to Marcel Triptherapie helped with the promotion of the program and finding people willing to be filmed for the documentary. So they were indeed approached, but ultimately the decision was made to feature another, relatively new provider of psychedelic sessions, a party that had only just become active at the time (according to Triptherapie, only since August 2023).
Triptherapie also criticizes that in the forum post: the program is called Psychedelic Pioneering, but then opts for a late newcomer, while Triptherapie and a few other organizations had already been active in the field of psychedelic therapy in the Netherlands for much longer. If this is the case, it is indeed strange, and other interests may have been at play in this choice.
In short: Triptherapie helped behind the scenes, but does not appear in the documentary themselves..

@research The entire psychedelic therapy scene in the Netherlands is pushing each other forward, and anyone who does their own thing and doesn't dance to the tune of the group that wants to have power over psychedelic therapy (practical practitioners, researchers, psychotherapists) is dismissed and obstructed.
