IS THIS YOU?
What Bipolar Disorder Can Feel Like
Bipolar disorder can feel like living within a roller coaster. In the highs, everything speeds up: ideas, energy, confidence, sometimes to the point where sleep feels optional and choices you would never normally make seem like great ones. Then the ride descends. The crash can leave you flattened, ashamed of what happened in the high, and unsure which version of you is the real one. The unpredictability is its own kind of exhausting. The good news is it can be managed, and we can start to recognize when the ride may be trying to start up again.
HOW I HELP
Navigating the Ups and Downs
What we do in session
We create structure where needed, learn to manage our symptoms, create positive environments to confront the shame-based internalizations Bipolar disorder tends to create over time, and explore what medical intervention may feel like.
Approaches I may draw from
Depending on what your clinical needs are, I draw upon EMDR, NARM, Ego-State Therapy, and DBT. I organically adjust the process to custom fit your needs at the time.
