When couples therapy through traditional healing creates uneven progress

My husband and I started seeing a traditional African healer for our marriage issues but the process is bringing up deep cultural shame for me that I didn't expect, while he feels like it's finally addressing things Western therapy couldn't touch. We're healing at different speeds and in different ways and I don't know if we're growing together or apart.
