A lot of the therapists we’ve trained have asked for resources for their clients, to help them get a better grasp of our modality,  Mentalization-Based Narrative Exposure Therapy for Complex Interpersonal Trauma (MBNET).

So today, we’re going to do our best to translate that into more accessible language so that clients can get a behind-the-scenes view of the rationale behind the modality and what it looks like in practice.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

• What makes exposure-based trauma processing different from other methods
• How exposure symptoms related to traumatic memories and addresses trauma-related beliefs
• What complex interpersonal trauma is and why we developed a modality specifically for treating it
• How humans constantly mind map each other, and how that impacts interpersonal trauma
• How MBNET addresses interpersonal trauma that is subtle, but just as damaging
• How MBNET provides a structured, but still flexible process that will be tailored to each individual
• What to expect as you work through the MBNET process with your therapist
