Mentalizing and MBT

[@glr2051]

My Psychologist treated me with MBT in NHS Scotland, the one thing I can say as a patient is that the consistent treatment allowed me to subconciously develop new mental tools to better understand how I connect with others and when to stop and take note of the situation, emotions and actions. It was and continues to be invaluable to me.

[@akfi96]

Is there a way for me to learn from you i cant find mbt where i live

[@rodsella]

What a refreshing idea, I just came from a seminar of MBT and this video makes it even more accesible to non therapists. Great job!

[@Geoffrey454]

Why is the BPD patient drawn that way though..?

[@ThemLowkeyyBeats1]

they did us dirty lmao

I think what the video is attempting to communicate is, to see one’s self through a compassionate lens of awareness and to accept one’s self, one’s own feelings, negative inner self talk, and allow oneself the space and freedom to really sit with those uncomfortable feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations, observe them without judgement and acknowledge them and not label them as good or bad, let them be and flow, pass through you, breathing exercises and 54321… exercises will help keep you grounded in the now, especially when triggered. This video falls short of communicating a lot, though my takeaway is that the video lacks clarity and fails to elaborate on the “how” to employ the method of mentalization by first observing oneself, our thoughts, and our tendencies to sometimes default to black/white thinking in certain situations which may have emotionally triggered our limbic brain’s poor reasoning and reactions, and to acknowledge that this doesn’t make us bad or unloveable, rather to see ourselves and our behavior as two separate entities, which we can develop our skills to recognize that our body is giving us signals through our nervous system and start to take notice of how we may be feeling or shifting in perception of a particular situation or in conversation and give ourselves the space to take pause, excuse ourselves and communicate to the other person that you may need a moment to ground and show ourselves that love through that act of kindness to the self, which in turn will begin to allow us to see the other with more healthy sense of awareness and understanding. Though society wide I’ve noticed this has become more difficult with younger generations because of the rise in more people stuck in their phones and not actually living in the moment of now, being truly present. Hence the rise in cluster B traits and behaviors in the population and especially in social media correspondence. Look up Tim Fletcher on CPTSD, watch his videos, they are most enlightening and address and articulate how a lot of this is related and important to recognize both within the self and in others. Just my long winded 2¢. Take care Everybody.

BPD is far more complex and serious than this video depicts

[@Aka47xxx]

How so?

[@Onesoul71]

I still don't know what MBT is after watching this video.

[@missbubblemaker26]

please come to India also. we need good therapy services

[@tildalinderholm3415]

I never really comment videos but felt like I had to, shame on you guys for explaining BPD the way you did. "they often attempt suicide" "they are also seriously confused with who they are" as if those are the main characterisics of the personality disorder. Did you even once mention high emotions? and also, why on earth would you illustrate the BPD-patient that way? As a person with BPD I find this video seriously offensive, shame on you.

[@FingolfinLS]

Tilda, this is a theory about development over models from the theory of attachment. They actually focused on these symptoms, because they're talking about mentalization-based treatment. Nobody said BPD is something bad, they're just talking about some behaviours are important to take note on clinical environment. But I understand your speech, the media sounds incomplete.

[@coppersense999]

Normally i like learning with the help of animation but the music and cartoon depictions at 2:15 seem to be trivializing and mocking a serious topic.

[@priscillagrrr4405]

Lol I wish there was a jazzy saxophone soundtrack to my BPD 🤣

[@hsholtz06_22]

If only 😅

[@Star-dj1kw]

Excellent video 👍🏼

[@andrewfrench6850]

I don't know much about BPD but the whole video put me off. Speaking of suicide alongside happy music felt really off to me, even as a lay person. I've no idea if MBT can work or be helpful, but this video certainly doesn't encourage me to give it a try! Pity, since it may have something valuable to offer.

[@xRach220x]

Disregarding an entire type of psychotherapy due to a 4 min KZbin video using the wrong tone of music is the real pity here

[@hsholtz06_22]

@@dona-piertrepanier5687 good one

[@imtoridee]

Where are the women therapists at this facility? Every video or study I see is male clinicians/researchers.

[@MindShiftChronicle]

One thing I don't like about mental health field is the usage of overly complicated words such as mentalizing or dialectical therapy; very complex words to describe very simple processes in other words. Mentalization based on their explanation is just empathy roughly... and more precisely cognitive empathy which is developped naturally through solid and caring socialization, so in a sense recreating these scenarios or missing scenarios can be helpful... Mental healthy should really learn demystifying and making things easier!

[@joshuabarker975]

This video is very wrong about BPD.

[@dona-piertrepanier5687]

2:40 is thats Jared Leto' joker?

[@ruara5009]

I went through MBT full course of treatment. What it doesn't give allowances for is the fact that BPD is unable to accept own reality never mind someone else perception of reality. I was constantly asked in the group to accept a person who reminded me of my mother, The atmosphere was so tense that it was likely to trigger me than accept this woman's perception of reality, she felt equally disdain towards me. Out of all the group of 8 people 2got much worse went on to take drugs and started to harm themselves and only 1declared that she got cured. I think MBT is more dangerous for BPD than doing nothing.

[@phleam6668]

This sounds like your treatment was very poorly delivered. I've been on a MBT treatment for a year now, and having had a lot of 121 therapy prior to this (currently diagnosed as having BPD), I'm finding the MBT therapy very effective. I think you have a good point though. I believe that MBT without prior or concurrent DBT, or (in my case) schema therapy, means that you may not understand your own problems sufficiently to get the benefits of MBT. I am not a therapist, but a very experienced patient. I can see that group therapy without prior or supportive 121 therapy is liable to go wrong. I would say don't give up on MBT, get some good 121 therapy first, then you will be in a better position to perceive and relate to others, which when done properly really works. It has worked for me. Hope this helps, and good luck.

[@Prudenthermit]

@@phleam6668 very late reply but, this is a valuable response. I found CBT, ACT, & talk therapy useless until after I did DBT & learned the coping skills to handle them. it sounds like transference focused psychotherapy might be helpful for the OP as well

[@astralpx]

It's still 80/20. 80% you will get some semblance of your focus, other 20% results will be totally random. I just wait for the positive random 20%. Its way more effecient.

[@jeffhappens1]

Isn’t this mind reading? One of the bad habits we can do for ourselves?

[@rperlberg]

What is Mentalizing, and what is the relevance for getting laid... I mean, psychotherapy?

[@feynstein9593]

The group therapy image is false... There are waaaayyyyyyy less men in group therapy. You usually end up having to go through young mom's talking about why they hit their children... Even though you do not have anything that relates to them.

[@OrangeTabbyCat]

I can't help but wonder if people in third world countries have all these illnesses with those letter abbreviations too. I guess if you have to worry about getting enough food and water you can't concentrate too much on all of these illnesses people in the first world develop.

[@emmathefabulous]

They do. There are just insufficient medical or psychiatric services to provide the diagnosis or treatment. Plus the level of stigmatisation of mental illnesses varies culturally. These unwell people just suffer being demonised and pariahs in their communities. Heck, even exorcism is still a treatment option in a lot of places.

[@GeeksCalls]

@Flicks who told you that? Our Western countries are what hold them back by stealing their resources, forcing them to sell good for little to nothing, owning most of their minerals via bad agreements signed to gain independence from colonisers and other treacherous things we ignore such as proxy wars the moment they attempt to reject our poor deals! Yes, they have these issues no doubt, but don’t insult them if you don’t understand global economics! Colonialism never ended. It’s just disguised! At any point they attempt to cut ties with us due to the evil we perpetuate there, we start a war! Read before you speak!

This is propaganda, CMV.

what about autism ?a lot of people get mad at me and call me rude but i never see why and how

[@CalumnMcAulay]

have you ever thought to ask them? it should be obvious - if it isnt then perhaps they have the problem and not you

[@jaimerachelle2636]

Autistic people also benefit from MBT
