Therapy for bipolar disorder
Do you suspect that you may be suffering from bipolar disorder? If you’ve been experiencing extreme highs and lows, or “manic and depressive” episodes you should seek help right away. Bipolar is unpredictable and can have a devastating long-term effect on your life if left untreated.
The good news is you don’t have to deal with it alone. Effective treatment is available which can significantly improve your quality of life. With the help of an experienced therapist…or as we like to think of it…a coach…we can help you navigate the challenges that living with this illness presents. That support and professional guidance extends to partners and loves ones as well. Don’t wait…let’s put you on the path to recovery today.
How we use CBT for bipolar
While medication alone can provide relief, much better results can be achieved when prescribed medication is combined with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for bipolar disorder. In fact, CBT is pretty much essential for managing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and difficult emotions. We use CBT (a way of replacing negative thoughts and behaviours with positive ones) to help you educate yourself about the illness, develop coping skills and make better lifestyle choices to reduce dependence on medication.
Living with bipolar is a lifelong struggle with unpredictable highs and lows. It’s important to create a structured plan so you don’t lose your motivation to get better, or become overwhelmed dealing with the effects of the illness. If you wish, we can work with other health care professionals to ensure the treatment you receive is right for you and we achieve the best possible outcome. And let’s not forget that the effects of this condition are also felt by the people in your life, so support for loved ones is crucial and readily available.
Our CBT and coaching services can also help with issues such as:
- accepting your diagnosis and adopting the right attitude
- understanding and navigating the often confusing world of medication
- recognising the early warning signs
- dealing with the impact on your social and work life
- dealing with the impact on relationships
- avoiding triggers
- sleeping issues
- coping with unsettling situations
- strengthening communication and repairing family bonds
- dealing with psychotic symptoms (disorganised thoughts, delusion, hallucinations etc.)
With CBT and the right coach in your corner we’ll help you build confidence, become more resilient, engage with your community again and achieve a better quality of life. It’s achievable…and together we’ll help you get there.
