Welcome to the first real session of this MBT-i series. Today we begin at the core of everything: mentalizing — the ability to understand yourself, others, and the relationships between you. 📌 What this session is about; Mentalizing means noticing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and recognizing that other people also act from their own inner worlds. It’s about being curious, open-minded, and non-judgmental — even when emotions run high. When you can mentalize, you gain insight, self-control, and healthier communication. 🔎 Real-life examples; You pause before reacting in anger and ask yourself, “What might this person be feeling right now?” You realise that someone’s silence doesn’t necessarily mean rejection — it could mean they feel anxious or unsure. 📚 Why it matters; Mentalizing connects emotion with understanding. It helps prevent misunderstandings, keeps relationships balanced, and allows you to stay calm when things feel chaotic. ✨ How MBT works with this; Throughout MBT you’ll practise a mentalizing attitude : Stay curious about yourself and others. Accept that you can never know exactly what someone else feels. Remember that emotions influence thoughts — and vice versa. 💡 Practice from Session 1; Have a short conversation with someone close to you. Try to find out how their day really felt for them. Then write down: 1️⃣ How you think they felt (and check if you were right). 2️⃣ How it was for you to ask and listen. 🌟 Core message; Mentalizing starts with curiosity. It’s not about being right — it’s about wanting to understand. By staying open, even in confusion, you begin the journey toward better self-awareness and deeper connection.","meta_description":"🎙️ Episode 2 – Session 1: What Is Mentalizing?
