Finding Support in Your Own Words: Mirror Remix

When you write in Mirror, the Remix feature takes your entry and re-imagines it through five supportive lenses, grounded by well-established approaches in therapy:

• Reflection
  Based in humanistic, person-centered therapy. Affirms your feelings and reminds you it’s okay to feel what you feel.
• Clarity
  Draws from mindfulness and emotion-focused therapy. Helps you slow down, name your emotions, and understand them.
• Discovery
  Influenced by psychodynamic and narrative therapies. Points out possible patterns or themes in your writing and encourages deeper self-insight.
• Perspective
  Inspired by the practices of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectal behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Offers new ways of looking at your situation, helping reduce self-blame or stuck thinking.
• Growth
  Grounded in behavioral activation therapy and solution-focused approaches. Suggests small, manageable steps that can support your well-being.

Each lens gives you a few prompts and a short encouraging takeaway, like a friend saying, “You’ve got this!” They turn your own words into insight, clarity, and encouragement.

Your privacy matters. Remixes are generated securely and are never shared with others. Your data remains confidential, encrypted, and under your control.

You might notice that not every journal entry generates a Remix. That’s by design. For now, Remix is being introduced gradually to make sure it feels safe and supportive.

• It’s currently available only for users 18 and older.
• It only appears on journal entries that don’t express emotional distress.
• If your entry feels especially heavy or risky, Mirror won’t generate a Remix. Instead, you’ll be guided toward supportive resources.

This way, Remix meets you where you are, offers encouragement when it fits, and points you to help when you might need more support.

Writing things down can already make emotions easier to handle. The Remix feature takes it one step further, reflecting your words back to you with care and encouragement. This can:

• Reduce feelings of isolation by reminding you that your emotions are valid.
• Help you slow down and recognize what you’re feeling.
• Spark new insights or ways of understanding yourself and what you’re experiencing.
• Encourage hopeful thinking and positive actions.

Journaling can help you process. Remix can help you break through.

We want to make sure Mirror Remix feels supportive for everyone. Over time, as we continue to learn and improve, our goal is to make Remix available to all Mirror users and for all types of entries.

When using Mirror and the Remix feature, Mirror will not store or share your journal entries. Your data remains confidential, encrypted, and under your control.

Mirror Remix Lenses are like a compassionate friend in your pocket who listens carefully, reflects kindly, and reminds you of your own strength. Whether you’re feeling joyful, confused, or weighed down, Mirror Remix can help you get perspective and keep moving forward.
