How Mentalization-Based Therapy Works to Treat BPD
Mentalization-Based Therapy is centered around improving the mentalizing skills of people with Borderline Personality Disorder. Mentalization is a psychodynamic approach that helps people with BPD better analyze their thoughts and figure out how they’re different from others.
What Is Mentalization-based Therapy?
Mentalization-based Therapy can help you to gain a better understanding of how your behaviors and feelings are associated with specific mental states and how to separate your own thoughts and feelings from those around you. Through MBT, you can gain more control over your behaviors and sustain more stable relationships.
BPD Symptoms: Will I Outgrow Them?
If you are suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), you may experience a lessening of symptoms associated with the disorder as you get older. But don’t let this fool you into thinking that you can merely “grow out of” BPD. Although there is sometimes a reduction of Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms as a person ages, it is dangerous to assume that you can just wait out the disorder and hope to get better.
