But that was ten years ago.

I'm sorry you had a rough go with it. In my group, all the facilitators are very conscious of what people experience and they always say if something isn't feeling right let one of them know and they would never tell someone to just "go back". we've had people have extremely difficult emotional experiences where they've had to leave and one of the facilitators always checks on them. i've never had to leave, but i have completely fallen apart during a journey and just laid there sobbing loudly and received nothing but support during and after. I love my group. I just happened to find them on meetup.com while searching for shamanic stuff in my city, and it took me about a year to get brave enough to attend my first meeting, but i've loved it ever since and it's more than 3 years now.
