Way back in the Dark Ages of Scientific Inquiry, when LSD was still acceptable to be used for the treatment of mental disorders, Mirror Therapy was quite common. They would get the patient loaded on psychedelics and sit them in front of a mirror. They way I've heard it, many times the patients would be freaked out, frightened and start panicking. However, eventually, they'd start to recognize themselves and learn to love all aspects of themselves.

I was thinking about this the other day, because I was thinking back on the last time I used LSD. I ended up going into the water closet to micturate, and I don't remember why, but the light ended up turning off and I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. It was painfully frightening. I had glowing eyes in a darkened silhouette. Eventually it looked like my reflection was moving side to side, faster and faster, while my glowing eyes just followed me. I started to freak out, but I turned on the light and just stared at myself for a minute or two while I reminded myself to love myself.
