What Students and Family Members Say About Our Educational Programs

After taking this class I am so much more aware of my manic and depressive states. I can see more clearly when I am acting out of order and I now have so many tools to help correct my state so that I can stay IN ORDER. The insight into my depressive states I will forever be grateful for. I know it sounds crazy but being able to see them as a blessing instead of a curse has been a beautiful and enlightening experience! I strongly recommend checking this course out- you have NOTHING to lose and SO MUCH TO GAIN!

I love Tom Wootton. His work has changed everything for me. I was able to train for two marathons while deeply depressed with Tom's support and non-traditional point of view. Where previously I would have convinced myself that my ability to complete such a feat was state-dependent. Without Bipolar In Order I might've just said 'I can't do it' and dropped out. Instead, I continued to train regardless of how I felt and not only completed the events but beat my previous time by a longshot. For me the true victory was that I was able to do it at all.

I took the Bipolar IN Order course and it was great! I am more and more becoming aware of the subtleties and not so subtleties of my states and how to behave in IN Ordered ways instead of Disordered ways. This is progressively increasing my confidence in exploring the ever expanding limits of my comfort with myself and finding the gifts in the discomfort as well as the bliss. I'm excited to continue to practice the lessons and use the tools to have a better understanding of my life. I feel better equipped to drive this ship as it is twist and turns through space-time. I highly recommend you do this for yourself!

Tom Wootton knows what it’s like to experience soaring highs and painful lows of bipolar disorder. He has attained a level of mastery regarding his states and there’s hope for all of us in that. This program teaches how to recognize symptoms, assess where you are, differentiate between emotions, develop self-management tools, learn when to use them, choose self-growth rather than self-destructive behaviors, see the value of our states, use introspection, and more. He has found that we can dramatically escalate our abilities to function well within six months to a couple of years or so.

I took the course. I am 71 suffered bipolar since a teen. The course took me to a new level of wellness and freedom i never dreamed possible. Go to uTube and check out Tom Wootton &/or BipolarINorder or read his books (they helped too).

I'm part of the current class, and have really enjoyed it. It surprisingly goes hand-in-hand with the work I've been doing in therapy. Being more in control of the roller coaster ride of bipolar is a valuable, life-necessary skill.

Bipolar IN Order has made a tremendously positive influence on my life. It teaches a way of looking at mental illness that has helped me turn it into mental health. Tom is a visionary and an outstanding guide. If you put enough time and effort into the course, it will change your life.

This course is truly empowering and life changing. In 8 weeks I feel like I know myself better, I have a better understanding of bipolar, and I know what makes me tick. This course will change your life. I am so much more aware of my disorder and how to handle it due to taking this course.

This class has put together in a very tidy package of concepts and ideas I have picked up bit by bit over the course of my 40 year struggle with severe recurrent depression. I have learned new ways to look at my life, new awareness of my state of mind, and better ways of dealing with stressors. We are encouraged to continue our meds and therapy, and learn new tools to manage our illness as well. My therapist was interested in the offer of free classes for her as well. This has been an amazing, eye opening experience.

Our son was diagnosed Bipolar when he was 19 and there have been multiple crises and episodes since then, including a suicide attempt. We lived a life surrounded by uncertainty. The medical care he was receiving offered little hope that any of us could lead fulfilling lives free of crisis and constant worry. It was painful to watch the struggle. In our desperate search for help, we found Bipolar IN Order. After our son completed the course, we have had a remarkable transformation in our family. We have had no crisis, no interventions, and we feel we finally have our son back. We have come from a life worrying about episodes and symptoms to watching our son fulfill his life in ways we never could have imagined before. This course has brought great peace and wholeness to our family.
