Therapy is full of cliches. There are things we’ve all been taught as therapists not to question, even when we get that feeling deep down in our guts that the truth might be a bit more complicated than that. Riva Stoudt wants to talk about it. Each episode dives into a cliche, truism, or best practice of therapy to look at how it really plays out in practice. Whether you agree or not, you’ll appreciate a candid look at the things therapists don’t normally talk about.

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 trauma
Why complex interpersonal trauma needs an approach that addresses incidents across the lifespan
How MBNET provides tools to intervene in client avoidance of traumatic memories
How the concept of traumatic mind mapping explains and addresses the depth and severity of interpersonal trauma
Why 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 are
