Going deeper means understanding how the work is done.In this third podcast episode, the hosts focus on the structure of the Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy model, clarifying its key principles and the clinical logic behind its use. The exploration continues through the manual Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy, shifting from theory to practice.

The conversation centres on the core procedures of MIMT, explaining how mirror work is introduced, how safety and regulation are established, and how the therapist guides the patient through different phases of the process. Particular attention is given to timing, pacing, and the therapist’s role in maintaining relational presence.

The episode illustrates how specific procedures help access dissociated parts, soften defensive patterns, and transform self-critical or fragmented internal relationships. The mirror is described not as a technique, but as a structured relational space in which experience can reorganise itself.

Listeners gain a clearer understanding of how the model integrates neuroscience, attachment, and embodied awareness into concrete clinical steps, supporting integration, self-compassion, and continuity of the self.

An episode dedicated to how the MIMT model works in practice, and how its procedures create the conditions for significant and lasting therapeutic change.

Knowing more means going deeper.

In this second podcast episode, the hosts continue exploring Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy, delving deeper into the model through the manual Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy.

The conversation focuses on trauma, understood not only as a past event, but as a relational experience that disrupted safety, continuity, and emotional mirroring. The episode explores how mirror work allows access to dissociative states, parts frozen in traumatic time, and unmet emotional needs that often remain beyond words.

The mirror becomes a space of safety and presence, where what was never seen or welcomed can finally emerge without force. Trauma work is not approached through narration alone, but through contact, regulation, and interbeing, creating the conditions for genuine repair.

The episode highlights how the therapeutic relationship, together with direct engagement with one’s own image, supports integration, emotional regulation, and a more coherent and compassionate sense of self.

An episode dedicated to understanding how trauma can be worked through and transformed by meeting oneself, when the gaze becomes present, shared, and compassionate.

Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy – Knowing More

Knowing more means seeing deeper.
Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy is an experiential therapeutic approach that uses the mirror to create a direct, embodied encounter with the self. It is not about observation, but about relationship.

Rooted in neuroscience, attachment theory, and embodied awareness, this method helps bring into awareness dissociated emotional states, unmet needs, and internal relational patterns that words alone often cannot reach.

Through the mirror, the person experiences a new form of emotional presence. One that replaces judgment with curiosity, avoidance with contact, and self-criticism with compassion. The mirror becomes a bridge between inner experience and lived identity.

Healing emerges through interbeing, the felt sense of connection between self, therapist, and environment, allowing integration where fragmentation once lived.

This video offers a deeper understanding of how Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy works, what makes it different, and why meeting oneself with presence can become a powerful turning point in psychological healing.
