MBNET: Confronting Interpersonal Trauma with Courage

Over the course of three seasons, we have talked plenty about trauma. And yet, somehow, I have never explicitly described or discussed the modality I use with clients, Mentalization-Based Narrative Exposure Therapy (MBNET).MBNET is a methodology that Dr. Kae Hixson and I synthesized from two different approaches that we were independently trained in, and it’s what we teach at The Kiln.On today’s bonus episode, Dr. Hixson joins me to get into how we arrived at this blended model for treating patients struggling with complex interpersonal trauma.Listen to the full episode to hear:How MBNET builds on existing research and frameworks to create a novel approach designed explicitly for interpersonal traumaWhy complex interpersonal trauma needs an approach that addresses incidents across the lifespanHow MBNET provides tools to intervene in client avoidance of traumatic memoriesHow the concept of traumatic mind mapping explains and addresses the depth and severity of interpersonal traumaWhy we believe in the transformative power of clients’ stories in processing their trauma How the structure and flexibility built into MBNET make it easier to meet clients where they areLearn more about The Kiln:WebsiteLearn more about Dr. Kae Hixson:WebsiteLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingInstagramResources:Season 1 Ep 10: Leave No Stone Unturned: The Healing Opportunity of Exposure Therapy With Allison AosvedSeason 1 Ep 14: Growing Into the Light: In Memory of David SchnarchBrain Talk: How Mind Mapping Brain Science Can Change Your Life & Everyone In It, David SchnarchSeason 3 Ep 5: From Childhood Wounds to Therapeutic Wisdom with Dr. Karen MarodaSeason 3 Ep 3: Unraveling Popular Ideas: Challenging Neuroscientific Narratives in Therapy with Kristen Martin
