So I think that's just an important thing for people to know is if you're looking to explore these out of state or maybe in a retreat abroad, really ask important questions about what is the role of the facilitators, if you will, if they're not considered therapists, what does that mean for me in my experience and how is it handled when things get challenging or difficult or what does that look like in terms of long-term follow-up?
