Or would I have to do the step-by-step curse reversal as part of the process

To answer your question, there are
multiple answers, because it depends on where you live. Because in the Western countries, the Catholics use Exorcists to expel malevolent spirits. Whereas in Asia, such as Japan and Cambodia, they use Shamans.
In the religion of Shintoism, though, there is friction between State Shinto and Shamanistic Shinto, because the State version considers themselves as the Official one, so they frown on Shamans who work on their own. Usually, those Shamans are those who reside in remote rural villages that are isolated away from the activities of the official State Shinto.
