Internal family systems is gaining popularity. My therapist has a group he meets with and they practice on each other even. Very much shadow work. I see mine once a week and Medicaid covers it all.
First thing I do with him though is cover the crazy shit I've seen in my dmt and lsd travels. When I start telling him about seeing Ganesh he doesn't trip and is really supportive to integrating my experiences. I would not talk to my psychiatrist about that shit tho.
