Bipolar Disorder Management

Our services are dedicated to supporting people in managing the symptoms of bipolar disorder, a complex mental health condition formerly known as manic-depressive disorder, affecting approximately 60 million people globally, as per the World Health Organization. This condition is marked by fluctuations in mood, energy, and activity levels, which can persist for weeks or even months, manifesting in various episodes such as manic, hypomanic, depressive, and mixed states.

During manic episodes, those affected may experience heightened energy, euphoria, grandiosity, racing thoughts, and impulsive behaviors. Conversely, depressive episodes bring about feelings of profound sadness, hopelessness, decreased energy, loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities, and even thoughts of suicide.

Hypomanic episodes, though less severe than full-blown mania, entail elevated mood, increased activity, and impulsivity. It’s crucial to recognize that symptom presentations vary widely among people, defying simple categorization and highlighting the complexity of the disorder.

Our approach combines psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy to effectively manage bipolar disorder symptoms and enhance overall well-being. These therapeutic modalities provide people with a space to explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering resilience and self-awareness.

Additionally, we integrate lifestyle changes into our management plans, including personalized exercise routines, balanced diets, symptom management strategies, and stress reduction techniques.

Therapeutic Breathwork and Movement therapy play pivotal roles in supporting clients with nervous system and emotional regulation. Harnessing the power of breath and guided movement, these modalities offer safe avenues for expression, particularly beneficial during manic episodes. By incorporating these techniques in conjunction with clinical therapies, people can find grounding and stability amidst the intensity of their experiences, fostering a sense of calm and control. This holistic approach addresses the mental, physical and emotional aspects of the condition, promoting comprehensive well-being.

Living with bipolar disorder presents its challenges, but with the right support, allowance, and determination, people can effectively manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives amidst the diagnosis. Through our services, people can tap into their inner strength, manage challenges, and cultivate lives filled with fulfilment and meaning.
