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.

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!

Excellent video 👍🏼

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

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

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

please come to India also. we need good therapy services

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

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

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

💔💔

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.

2:40 is thats Jared Leto' joker?

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.

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.

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.

This video is very wrong about BPD.

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.

He sounds like Simon Cowell

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

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

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.

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.

This is propaganda, CMV.
