I do not prescribe medication but I do work with individuals with bipolar in coming to terms with the disorder and self-acceptance in integrating it into one's identity without self-stigma or shame. I also work to help the individual learn how to better balance their life, learn about their prodromal symptoms, develop safety plans, address loss issues, address relationship related issues, and learn to be kind to themselves.
Navigating a Bipolar Disorder has a considerable amount to do with managing lifestyle factors (e.g., regular sleep, exercise, balanced diet, medication). It also involves identifying typical triggers and warning signs for episodes and learning new ways to manage stress and reducing the likelihood of episodes occurring again in the future.
When living with Bipolar Disorder, clinicians will work with you directly utilizing various treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Therapy sessions will consist of identifying maladaptive behaviours and assisting you in developing more effective coping mechanisms.
