In this brief live segment, Aaron Doughty leads participants through a mirror‑work exercise aimed at cultivating self‑love and reconnecting with past parts of themselves. He prompts the group to speak affirming phrases to their reflection, encouraging them to fully feel the emerging emotions, which he describes as "gold". Speaker B experiences a sense of safety, love, and tears, illustrating the emotional release that can arise from this practice. Aaron emphasizes the importance of courage and vulnerability to stay with the feeling rather than stopping. The session concludes with Aaron promoting an upcoming live event in Los Angeles (January 31–February 1, 2026), inviting viewers to obtain tickets via a link or comment.

What's wrong with being weird?
Rejection from others.
How many of you have ever done mirror work? Yes, very powerful. This is where you're able to connect to not only you, but also the other past parts of you. What is something you would say to yourself, the thing that you wanted to hear, and everyone else?
I love you, sweetheart. You're so loved. You're so loved.
That emotion that's coming up right now, that's powerful gold. You could feel it. That emotion comes up and it's like, I'm gonna stop here. But the key is to just keep having the courage and the vulnerability to feel into that.
I love you. I love you.
Give her a hand. So what was coming up for you?
I feel safe and loved, and I think feeling loved makes me cry.
Is it a good cry?
Of course, yeah.
Yeah. The next live event that I have coming up is in Los Angeles, California, January 31st to February 1st. If you want to join, go ahead and click the link in my bio or comment the word event, and I'll send you the ticket.
