"Something's got you down? It's ok, why don't 'cha come down to my ranch and work it out? Nothing clears the mind like a good day at the range. What? You don't know how to shoot? That's ok, I'll teach 'cha! Just one condition for me to help you. You gotta play by my rules. You gotta talk the talk, walk the walk, and most importantly...NONE OF THAT FANCY ELECTRONICS STUFF! If you need to make a call, use the land line! Think of it as a vacation."
- Blake Sacks

Carver, with an air of professionalism, listens to her patient speak of their past experiences, and how they affect them in the day to day.
All Carver does is remove the compulsions left by traumatic experiences, allowing her patient control over themselves while tackling their traumas. They'll remember what happened to them, but it will no longer spark the same trauma response.
As long as the mind isn't traumatized *again* shortly afterwards. Otherwise the old connections resurface and it's back to square one, with extra baggage this time around.
All of this works on inhuman, even unliving physiology thanks to Carver's familiarity with the not-quite-human people around her. As long as they have a sentient mind capable of being traumatized, her powers allow her to detangle them.

You speak the activation phrase into the mirror. You see in the mirror a more whole version of yourself chained to the floor in a room mirroring the room you are in. You can talk to your mirror self about your traumas and bad memories, such that the mirror self knows fully the cause of the trauma.
Then, you must convince your mirror self to take the trauma in your place.
You can also act as an intermediary for others to use the mirror from a distance. The target must share the trauma's, their origin, and the details of it. As you get these details, you see the mirror forms an image of a more whole version of the person you are talking to. The room also reflects the area they received the trauma. The duplicate is dragged through the experience, by chained manacles which force them to enact the traumatizing event.
You then convince them to take the trauma for their corresponding mirrored self. You can talk to multiple people at the same time/ effect all targets with this.
If you succeed, you see them be affected immediately, taking on the physical condition of the contractor at the time they received the trauma, and the room shifts to be a reflection of the traumatic moment.
This Mirror was made by Vel by accident and can't be remade. Waking from a nightmare, Vel ran to the bathroom and vomited. They spent the rest of the night staring into the bathroom mirror, talking about what happened. At some point their power triggered, and the Mirror was given its ability.
The mirror effectively creates a temporary duplicate of the individuals targeted and drags that duplicate through experiencing the trauma. The duplicates know they are duplicates, but don't have any of the traumas the targeted individual has.
They then, at the end of this experience need to be convinced to go through the trauma once more, and in so doing remove it from the contractor being targeted. The duplicates have all their memories, care about their duplicate, and know they will cease to exist one way or another. They just need to be convinced to suffer more first.
