English term or phrase: Mirror retraining
Mirror retraining may also be used as part of response prevention. Mirror re- training involves ensuring that patients use mirrors at a slight distance and use ones that are large enough to incorporate most of their body; to deliberately focus attention on their reflection in the mirror rather than an internal impression of how they feel; to only use a mirror for an agreed-upon function (eg, shav- ing, putting on make-up) for a limited period of time; to not use mirrors that magnify their reflection; to use a variety of different mirrors and lights rather sticking to one they “trust;” to focus attention on the whole of their face rather than selected areas; to not use ambiguous reflections that can distort their appearance (for example, windows

mirror retraining
Méthode du miroir (mirror retraining)


Explanation:
Je crois que dans ce cas, il faut extrapoler en français et citer l'anglais entre parenthèses; il s'agit bien d'une méthode/technique en soi, visant à l'externalisation des émotions et au contrôle de l'anxiété ou tout autre trouble.
Aussi utilisée sous une autre forme pour les personnes ayant subi une amputation (question de réapprentissage de l'image grâce à la "thérapie par le miroir", mais on s'éloigne...).

Un exemple: "La méthode du miroir, devenue maintenant classique, consiste à demander à l’enfant de se mettre tous les jours devant une glace pendant un temps très court qu’il augmentera de lui-même chaque jour pour apprendre à se contrôler."

C'est ce que j'ai trouvé de plus approchant!
