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.
