Probably the most powerful intervention I know of is to trade facilitation of emotional digestion and integration practices with a peer. The modality probably only matters a little, and so should be chosen for what’s easiest to learn to facilitate. Focusing is a good start, I also like Core Transformation for going deeper once Focusing skills are good. It’s a huge return on ~3 hours per week (90 minutes facilitating and being facilitated, in two sessions) IME.
Both people ideally learn from existing practitioners for a session or two, ideally they also review the written material or in the case of Focusing also try the audiobook. Then they simply try facilitating each other. The facilitator takes brief notes to help keep track of where they are in the other person’s stack, but otherwise acts much as eg Gendlin acts in the audiobook.

Can you say more details about how this works (in terms of practical steps) and how it went?
