| The Mirror Mirror Process The Mirror Mirror Process is a highly innovative and creative solution to the well-documented problems of distorted body image and disordered eating. A product of spiritual insight and sound psychological theory, it speaks a truth for which girls and women hunger. The Mirror Mirror Process is universal in its appeal and relevance, and has been highly acclaimed in Australia (its country of origin) and in the United States. The Mirror Process is a process which identifies the negative self beliefs underlying unhealthy body image and poor self esteem and replaces those beliefs with healthy positive messages of belonging, acceptance and fulfillment. The Mirror Mirror Process is the basis of a number of programs called Mirror Mirror. The Mirror Mirror programs are universally accessible, regardless of the participants' learning style, culture or level of education. They incorporate fable, multicultural elements, interactive strategies, one-on-one counselling, group activities, the use of mentorship, art and music therapies. Most importantly they are fun because they re-ignite the sense of joy and play that is our natural birth rite. The programs are not simply information/ knowledge based but experiential, practical and social. They work because women and girls are in a safe environment to go on a journey to discover their real selves. They get there by looking at the processes of image-making and by getting to know all the negative messages that they have been carrying about themselves. The gains they make are reinforced and supported by follow-up programs. Because image disorders and disordered eating behaviours are often accompanied by various levels of denial, it is often difficult (even for those intimately involved) to communicate with those at risk or already suffering. Anticipating or challenging such a shadowy and insidious affliction requires practical, hands-on, proven methods such as those designed by Denise in the Mirror Mirror Process. `...As women, we are all mirrors for each other and for our daughters, sisters, nieces, colleagues, mothers and friends. As we come more into our authenticity, this is what we will reflect. It is my commitment to enhance this process. My programs are esigned to facilitate girls and women on their journey back to their authentic self...' The Mirror Mirror Process can be used in a workshop environment by: • schools • therapists • summer camps • youth organisations • wellbeing/body/mind/spirit centres • various health/education/women's organisations The Mirror Mirror Process can also be enjoyed in family situations. It provides a non-threatening departure point for mothers and daughters to explore issues which deeply concern them. A book and audio tape are available for purchase. |
