i've been in therapy for about a year now working through ptsd for a violent rape in my teens. i have just been diagnosed with bipolar II this week by a new psychiatrist who actually took an interest in my 17 year history with depression. i saw my therapist later that day and he was surprised and questioned the diagnosis a bit. he suggested that we continue our treatment in the same way and continue where we left off. i seem to think that my condition could cause a lot of the problems with trust, boundaries, etc in my therapy. so often i take one step forward and two back each week. how do you address bipolar in therapy? is there a way to incorporate it? same old thing? thank you.
