emotions and behaviors. English professors Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy first developed MBT for Borderline Personality Disorder.

Someone says something to you that hurts you. You feel angry, sad or ashamed. And you show it, too. But if you think about it for a moment, you know the other person didn't mean it that way. It was an expression of his or her emotions. Then you decide to respond more calmly. That process of thinking about the situation and directing your emotions is called mentalizing.       <\/p>\n<p>Many emotional problems come from not being able to mentalize properly. That's what Mentalization Based Therapy is based on. You don't sufficiently understand your own emotions and those of others. What thoughts, feelings or intentions are behind them? As a result, you are too quick to give them a negative interpretation. And that in turn can lead to unhealthy reaction patterns. Think of a negative self-image, hypersensitivity, distrust, outbursts of anger or impulsive behavior. MBT helps you empathize better with yourself and others. You also learn to identify and change negative beliefs. Because if you think more positively, it is easier to control your mood and behavior.         <\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53eb3bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"53eb3bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mentalization Based Therapy - a form of cognitive behavioral therapy\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-973c174 elementor-widget elementor-widget-lettery-description\" data-id=\"973c174\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"lettery-description.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mil-text mil-appearance mil-mb-30\">\n\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\tMentalization Based Treatment is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Even though breaking patterns takes some effort at first. For example, are you angry with someone? Then you learn to think about why that is. Do you feel rejected, for example? Are you afraid of losing track of things? Or are you embarrassed? Once you know that, you try to change your negative thoughts. That way you avoid reacting impulsively and you can respond more calmly and wisely. With MBT, you learn several effective communication strategies for this purpose.         <\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60cdc9c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"60cdc9c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e2e091 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7e2e091\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9d12b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b9d12b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.u-center.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-1454251288-1-scaled-e1749202261475-767x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11419\" alt=\"Mentalization Based Treatment\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.u-center.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-1454251288-1-scaled-e1749202261475-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.u-center.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-1454251288-1-scaled-e1749202261475-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.u-center.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-1454251288-1-scaled-e1749202261475-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.u-center.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-1454251288-1-scaled-e1749202261475-950x1269.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.u-center.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-1454251288-1-scaled-e1749202261475.jpg 1118w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0d9d59 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f0d9d59\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9624c59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-lettery-about-us\" data-id=\"9624c59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"lettery-about-us.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mil-link mil-softened-60 mil-appearance mil-mb-30\">\n\t\t\t<span >\n\t\t\t\tWho is MBT for?\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mil-h3 mil-title-el mil-appearance mil-mb-30\">\n\t\t\t<span >\n\t\t\t\tWho can benefit from MBT?\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e28600 elementor-widget elementor-widget-lettery-description\" data-id=\"0e28600\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"lettery-description.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mil-text mil-appearance mil-mb-30 mil-first-letter\">\n\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t<p>Anyone struggling with emotional problems can benefit from MBT.

For example, if you had to deal with traumatic experiences, neglect or great adversity. Another factor is how well your parents mirrored your feelings, so you learned to understand where they were coming from. (\"You're nervous about your first day of school, aren't you.\") If they consistently didn't do that well, or minimally or excessively, you didn't learn well yourself. But it is necessary to understand what people think, feel, wish, believe and desire. With that, you keep your feelings under control. And the better you understand yourself, the better you understand others and each other. So the more you learn to mentalize, the healthier it is. With Mentalization Based Therapy, you develop that skill as well.         \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-926c2fd e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"926c2fd\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ea1201 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2ea1201\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea489c9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ea489c9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f49701 elementor-widget elementor-widget-lettery-about-us\" data-id=\"1f49701\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"lettery-about-us.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mil-h3 mil-title-el mil-appearance mil-mb-30\">\n\t\t\t<span >\n\t\t\t\tForms of Mentalization Based Therapy\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8dad4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-lettery-description\" data-id=\"e8dad4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"lettery-description.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mil-text mil-appearance mil-mb-30 mil-first-letter\">\n\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t<p>Mentalization Based Therapy can be taken individually, in a group or both.
