'''Mirror for Addictions/Cravings''' is a technique of the [[Paret Method]] in the [[:Categoria:presenza|presence]] category that uses the mirror as a tool for restoring awareness in the treatment of cravings and behavioral addictions.<br />
<br />
== Definition ==<br />
<br />
The technique is based on the fundamental principle that every craving represents a ''loss of presence''. Through the mirror, the subject re-establishes contact with immediate sensory reality, interrupting the dissociative cycle that fuels the compulsive desire. The mirror acts as an ''experiential anchor'' that redirects attention from the imaginative-dreamlike plane to the plane of present perception.<br />
<br />
== When to use ==<br />
<br />
* Treatment of addictions (substances, compulsive behaviors, automatic habits)<br />
* Acute management of cravings and irresistible impulses<br />
* Consolidation of presence in dishabituation pathways<br />
* Contexts where rapid restoration of bodily awareness is required<br />
* Situations of dissociation linked to desire<br />
<br />
== Components and steps ==<br />
<br />
# '''Positioning''': the subject positions themselves in front of a mirror under neutral lighting conditions<br />
# '''Evocation of the craving''': consciously think about the object of the craving, allowing the mental image to form<br />
# '''Reflective observation''': maintain gaze on one's own reflected image while the craving is active<br />
# '''Return to reality''': through conscious breathing, return to the ordinary state of presence<br />
# '''Repetition with the right eye''': perform the entire cycle focusing attention exclusively on the reflected right eye<br />
# '''Repetition with the left eye''': repeat the protocol focusing on the left eye<br />
<br />
== Distinctions ==<br />
<br />
* '''vs [[Ancore sensoriali|Sensory Anchors]]''': while sensory anchors associate resource states with specific stimuli, the Mirror for Cravings interrupts the dissociative cycle through recognition of present reality<br />
* '''vs [[Tecniche di sostituzione|Substitution Techniques]]''': it does not replace the craving with alternative behaviors, but rather ''dissolves'' it by re-establishing presence<br />
* '''vs [[Ipnosi per dipendenze|Hypnosis for Addictions]]''': it operates ''outside'' the hypnotic state, strengthening vigilant awareness instead of accessing it<br />
<br />
== Courses where it is taught ==<br />
<br />
* [[TM 2011]] - Mirror Exercise for Cravings (p. 91)<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* '''Effectiveness on dissociation''': the technique is particularly effective because it acts directly on the ''cause'' of the craving (loss of presence) rather than on the symptom<br />
* '''Ocular lateralization''': ''[to be confirmed by Marco]'' - the reason for the right/left specificity in relation to the neuroanatomy of craving according to the Paret Method<br />
* '''Potential contraindications''': avoid in cases of severe dissociative disorders not yet stabilized; require supervision in contexts of acute severe addiction<br />
