FINDING YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE ZONE

This Course teaches a revolutionary system that categorizes the various intensities of your states and is used as a roadmap for navigating your level of functionality during various intensities of mania, depression and mixed states. 

TOOLS TO LOWER THE INTENSITY OF YOUR STATE

The goal of Bipolar IN Order is to learn how to function while experiencing the states that once drove us to dis-order. Nonetheless, there are times when taking steps to lower the intensity of our experience is the best option. In which case we need a set of reliable and effective proven tools. This class is about making sure that those tools are in place.

IN ORDER VS DISORDER

If you want people to believe that you have Bipolar IN Order, then you have to act like it. In this course you will create an inventory of your values and behaviors to help you get clear on what being IN Order means to you.

ACCOUNTING FOR TIME

In this class learn about the Bipolar IN order different approach to time. Since the scientific consensus is that permanent remission is not possible, we help you extend the time that you can stay in order during mania and depression.

TURNING YOUR STATE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

What is the advantage of having a high-performance race car if you don't know how to drive it? If all you did was crash every time you got behind the wheel you would probably conclude that it was a disadvantage to have it and be miserable every time you got in it.

It is the same with mania and depression. The advantages are in the same state as the disadvantages. You don't change the state to find the advantage, you change the way you see it and how you respond to it. This course helps you put that concept into context. 

INTROSPECTION

This course will help you in putting Bipolar IN Order instead of leaving it in "disorder." It is designed to help you focus on the changes you want to bring about by giving you a daily summary of your progress.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE FEELING OVERWHELMED

We all get overwhelmed sometimes. It happens when the intensity of an experience is too much to handle. Many experience Bipolar as a very overwhelming condition. This course dives deeply into understanding what overwhelm is, how it affects those experiencing it and what one can do when it occurs

HOW TO DIRECT THE ENERGY IN MANIA AND DEPRESSION

The energy we feel in mania is very powerful. It can easily overwhelm us and take control of our thoughts and behaviors. We can learn to use it to our advantage but we must be careful. This course gives practical understanding and exercises that give students the ability to channel the energy in mania and depression for positive use in a safe and productive manner.

CHALLENGING DEFINITIONS

The meaning we place on words has a tremendous influence on how we experience our condition. Challenging our own as well as others' perceptions of our condition is very important to experiencing a paradigm shift in the way we view our condition and our approach to living with it. Unlinking symptoms from our reactions to them cannot be accomplished without challenging the definitions of mania and depression. In this course we learn to help others and ourselves re-define what this condition means to us and the world.

ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS

Tools for lowering intensity of states is only one aspect of getting Bipolar IN Order. This course explores the options for treating symptoms of Bipolar. It addresses the need to return to a better life and how confusing it is for many to navigate treatment options. Students learn to make sense of treatment options and how to go about picking tools that are the most effective for getting to Bipolar IN Order.

MEDITATION

The scientific benefits of meditation are many, and its powerful effects can extend beyond a meditative session and into your daily routines. The techniques in this course are specifically tailored for bipolar to help increase focus, attention and mental strength among other things.

CRISIS PLANNING

There are times in which our states may overwhelm us to the point that our functionality gets affected. Although the ultimate goal of the Bipolar Advantage program is to reach full functionality during the experience of varied mood episodes, we acknowledge the need for safe and effective crisis management plans. This course will help you make sure that the plans are in place.

BUILDING YOUR TEAM

Care is usually specialized and separate. Which is why getting a professional team together is beneficial. Who can help and when? This course contains plans and forms to help students get their care team on the same page. Students learn to make agreements in advance of crisis. More importantly, establish clear communication so crisis is less likely.

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance does not mean surrender. It rather marks the beginning of transformation. Personal acceptance is a lifelong practice. Meeting yourself exactly where you are and appreciating the fact that you are there can be incredibly gratifying and liberating.

BIPOLAR IN ORDER BOOK

Course based on the Bipolar IN Order book by Tom Wootton. There are so many examples of bipolar "disorder" that it is easy to understand why so many people try to avoid it instead of facing it and getting it under control. We can choose to view depression, mania, hallucination, and delusion from at least two different perspectives--either as "disorder" or as "in order." Knowing that we have a choice of perspectives leads us to the understanding that we do not have to accept a diminished life.

CREATING RELATIONSHIPS THAT WORK

People with mental conditions are not the only ones that have difficult relationship hurdles. Don't be resigned to bad relationships. There are clear processes and tools that will help you be successful in creating and sustaining lasting relationships at home, work, and elsewhere. Healthy relationships are essential for Bipolar IN Order.

WRESTLING WITH AN IDEA

How can one take a concept and make it our own so it integrates with our self-understanding and self-knowledge? What questions or proposals would a person reject initially and later come to respect, admire, or believe in? This course presents the concept of wrestling with an idea and how it applies to specific concepts of Bipolar IN Order. 

HOW TO TURN YOUR DEPRESSION TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

Course based on The Depression Advantage book by Tom Wootton. The book is about spiritual growth and the role that depression can play in it.
