The Bipolar In Order Workshop introduces the central concepts of the Advantage Program while creating the important paradigm shift in the thinking of participants. Changing our beliefs from illness based diminished lives to conditions that have both good and bad aspects is the first step toward changing our lives. Until we accept the possibility that we can overcome all of our obstacles and create a fabulous life in spite of our condition, we will be stuck in the old paradigm of living in fear that we may relapse at any time.
The central concepts that are part of every Education, Assessment and Treatment component are Acceptance, Introspection, Mind Skills Development, Life Planning, and Getting Help. Each of these topics are covered in detail and the participants end the workshop with a clear understanding of what it takes to create a life worth striving for.
The Bipolar In Order Workshop is unlike anything you have ever seen. No dry boring lectures, falling asleep from the boredom, or lessons forgotten as soon as you get home. Accelerative Learning techniques developed as a result of scientific research of the brain and how learning takes place are used throughout the workshop. Lectures are replaced with guided discussions, games, and other activities to help the points make the best impact. Individual and group interaction is used to get the expertise from those who know it the most - each other. Physical and mental exercises, visualizations, meditations, and more are all woven into an experience that will change your life forever.
One technique that we will be teaching and using throughout the workshop is brainstorming, one of the biggest Bipolar Advantages. This technique harnesses the Bipolar natural ability to free associate and let the mind find ideas that are never found by those without the ability to let the mind rapidly wander. Learning to harness the power of the mind and turn it into your advantage is one of the keys to bringing Bipolar In Order.
The understanding gained from this workshop applies to everyone, not just those dealing with diagnosed mental conditions. Many people who have taken the workshop to better understand their loved ones have said that the workshop was really about understanding themselves.
