Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT)

"Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT)"

About: Community Forensic Services / Community forensic team

(as a service user),

12 week introduction group to support accessing longer term MBT Therapy.

This group enabled me to understand how my brain works on a deeper level and why my thought processes are as they are.  It enabled me to understand how to start and improve the way I think and feel, and understand BPD and myself much better.  This was a safe place to talk.

Facilitators were lovely people, very helpful and wouldn't change any of them.

Thank you for the amazing opportunity, I appreciate it.

Thank you for this very encouraging feedback. Coincidentally, I was discussing BPD only yesterday with someone who had had a similar diagnosis. Mentalizaton Based Treatment is fascinating and has helped many people think in a new way - and, as you say, that can lead to feeling differently. I hope that you will be able to continue to benefit from MBT. These things are often really hard work but the personal benefits can be huge.

With best wishes.

Peter
