The Touchstone Centre provides twostructured
day programmes, intensive group psychotherapy and individual psychotherapy
sessions. The Centre uses the model ofMentalization Based Therapy
(MBT), a time-limited therapy
that aims toimprove yourability to
make sense of your own actions and feelings and those of others. In
everyday life we need this ability to help us understand what is going
on in our minds and what is going on in other people's minds. This
ability to understand what motivates us and others to behave the way
we do is known as 'mentalization'. This can be very important in helping
us to regulate our emotions and impulses and in forming fulfilling,
meaningful and enjoyable relationships.
