Benefits & Outcomes
These are some of the benefits you will have by the end of the program
Theoretical Understanding
- An overview of mentalization and emotional regulation.
- The role mentalization/metacognition plays in interpersonal relationships
Psychological
- Get established in traditional Buddhist wisdom and heart practices.
While there is a strong emphasis on psychological health in this course, it is predominantly Buddhist-inspired. As such, this course will offer an introduction to Buddhist systems of generating positive emotion and working with fixed views (schemas according to schema therapy, or sankharas in the Theravada) - Develop greater access to positive mental states and grow in confidence when working through negative mental states
- Understand better how your mind works; seeing volitions arise in the mind and noticing the gap before they are acted out
- Learn to use the identification function of mentalization (mindfulness) to catch afflictive mind states as they arise, and respond more creatively. Learn to work through these so that you actually benefit in your day-to-day life
- Increased sense of agency
For your relationships
- Greater valuing of relationships, interpersonal connection, and more ease in them
- Enhanced capacity to feel warmth from and towards others
- Clearer understanding of how you show up in relationships

Classes will be divided between theory and practice. The main focus will be on meditation. As such, all participants are asked to make a commitment to meditate 30 minutes per day, as part of the course (social support will be available!).
The lecture content will be on metacognitive skills, emotional regulation skills, and Buddhist meditative practices which help us cultivate these mental qualities.
Much of the psychological material will be drawn from Jeffrey Young (Schema Therapy), Bruce Ecker, Peter Fonagy and Anthony Bateman’s Mentalization Based Treatment, and the work on metacognition by Semerari, Liotti, DiMaggio, et al.
