New treatment for psychosis

Saw this and thought it looked very interesting. It's a new treatment for psychosis and is showing good results. Has anyone else seen or heard of it before?

‘You tried to tell yourself I wasn’t real’: what happens when people with acute psychosis meet the voices in their heads?

The long read: In avatar therapy, a clinician gives voice to their patients’ inner demons. For some of the participants in a new trial, the results have been astounding

I often see these distorted faces when I'm tired or go to sleep.
I also have intense paranoia, somehow I believe that someone might be in the corner of my room.

Or when I walk on these streets I have an immense fear of being harmed.

They aren't actually psychosis, there are different realms of realities (you can access them with drugs such as cannabis, and psychedelics), and beings which live there- they know how to manipulate people's imagination and energies, even bend realities.
