May I ask what your doing your program in?

Let me know your take aways!

@@psychiatrypsychotherapy6939 With pleasure! 😀 I was surprised to hear Theory of Mind (TOM) was not mentioned once here, but was pleased to hear the discussion about the overlap between MBT and other modalities, like psychodynamic ("old wine in new bottles" as Shedster would say 🤣) Loved the link Dr. Bateman made between _psychic equivalence_ and PTSD “flashbacks”. I had never thought of it in that way, but it absolutely makes sense. Loved that you managed to snag another role-play in there (your good at acting David, if this psychiatrist thing doesn’t work out, you would have a promising career as an actor!). Interestingly, we might view actors as having an above average ability at mentalization, as they have to know the mind of the (hypothetical) characters they are playing. As well, they have to know how their states effect the states of others (their audience). I like that you appear to be heavy into the research literature David, yet don’t feel the need to have a gazillion books behind you like most of your guests. You just have that cheetah painting behind you -- which continually mocks me in every video 🤪. I also appreciated your infectious smile and laugh which impressively dissolved these two Brit’s serious-natured “stiff upper lip” in many parts of the vid. Finally, I liked Fonagy’s final closing statement regarding how a therapist might deal with a client who they feel stuck with, by going back to the last part of what they understood, and then saying essentially “I was with you until this point, help me understand from here”. He notes this as being a way to bring the client’s lack of mentalization capacity into the session in the here and now so that both can see/acknowledging how the client's lack of mentalization led to a lack of communication.

I love this !

my intention is to provide helpful feedback and it’s difficult to do this in comment format. a specific point is speaker’s tone of voice. it lacks warmth, curiosity, inquisitiveness and openness. another is the way the way some of the questions are formulated. they’re quite short & direct which contribute to the overall interrogative vibe. also, the beginning where speaker asked about depression few other personal questions was too abrupt and not handled with enough forethought to appropriate timing and the sensitive nature of such questions

speaker has positive facial expressions that convey warmth and comfort that make up for the above critiques - improving in above points and more will significantly improve the overall content

Could you please explain a little more about what happened? I am thinking it may help me.

@@itr6540 Basically, the therapists' questions echoed my inner critic. They - intentional or not - encouraged me second guessing myself by constantly asking me to consider what impact my words would have on people around me.

@@AnonymousCowardly I see, I didn’t think it could be usedin that way, I understood mentalization differently. Imo, it could be more helpful, if the therapist offered some understanding and empathy for what you are going thrpugh before asking you to imagine those things. We all seek feeling understood and accepted. And if we do no understand our own pain and feelings, how can we offer to the other people? Thank you for your response.

@@itr6540 It was a truly bizarre experience. They correctly identified my patterns of people pleasing and self-neglect, yet the treatment made me feel like I would always need to consider other people's feelings first before even opening my mouth.

@@AnonymousCowardlyhow long did you continue treatment?

Like together?

@@psychiatrypsychotherapy6939that would be awesome. Anyone from the PDI group at Cornell would be great to represent TFP - Yeomans, Kernberg, John Clarkin, Diana Diamond.

yes please@@psychiatrypsychotherapy6939

@@psychiatrypsychotherapy6939 Separately please. Dr. Kernberg deserves a whole series.

@@psychiatrypsychotherapy6939as much kernberg as possible please

What?

'Radically open DBT' may be of help for you
