Mentalization refers to our ability to understand and engage with the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of ourselves and others. It is marked by curiosity about mental states and fosters deeper connections. When mentalization is active, we can relate to one another on a more profound level, while stress can impede this process, leading to misunderstandings. Mentalization-based therapy can help improve social cognition, allowing individuals to better navigate relationships and emotional landscapes.
When mentalization is online, we feel connected and can understand each other beyond the surface.
Curiosity about our own and each other's mental states marks effective mentalization.
