Cerys Love PsyD – Television Series – Mirror Experiential Therapy – Episode 9 – Chapter 8 – Mirror Experiential Therapy – Self

Editor's Notes Standing upon The Love Rule as a philosophical theoretical foundation, and Mirror Psychology as a clinical and social psychological theory, Mirror Experiential Therapy provides the application for psychotherapists to implement within their practice. The latest neuroscience and bio-psycho-social-spiritual research illustrate that loving something bigger than ourselves, loving ourselves, and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves in that order truly is all humanity needs to flourish. The concept is over 2000 years old - and yet is as revolutionary and relevant now as it was then - regardless of what you believe or don't believe about its author. As a pragmatic minimalist pulling the latest research thread in search of truth about optimal relationships with self and humanity, this doctor of clinical psychology is surprised to find that scientific thread circling back to this concept. It is not new. It is not sexy. What works is the point - and as a philosophical theoretical foundation for clinical as well as social psychology theory, and then as an applied concept for psychotherapy blended with experiential therapy, this works with elegant simplicity.
