ABSTRACT

The purpose of the Meta Mirror model is to assist an individual to see how their difficulty in a relationship is actually a result of their relationship with themselves, rather than the relationship with the other person. It is based upon the psychodynamic concept of projection where we find other people difficult because they remind us of aspects of ourselves that we have not fully dealt with. By bringing this blind spot into conscious awareness, the Meta Mirror provides individuals with the opportunity to be more fully in control during relationships with people who have hitherto been very difficult.
