You are more than your bipolar disorder. Cultivate self-worth, reclaim your identity, and live fully with this innovative and proven-effective workbook.
If you have bipolar, you may experience painful self-stigma that is driven by others' opinions, discrimination, and your own life experiences. Self-stigma can affect your self-esteem, relationships, and work—and can lead to more emotional distress and even trigger future episodes. So, how can you move past the shame and negative self-talk that stand between you and lasting recovery?
Written with deep warmth by an expert in bipolar—who lives with bipolar herself—and based on her Overcoming Self-Stigma in Bipolar Disorder program, this step-by-step workbook offers innovative, proven-effective, and empowering tools to help you increase your well-being and sense of self. You'll learn to challenge negative messages about what it means to have bipolar, humanize your mental health struggles, and cultivate unwavering self-compassion and self-acceptance. Most importantly, you'll come to understand that you are so much more than your diagnosis.
Discover validating activities and skills to:
- Unmask shame and reclaim your identity
- Replace negative thinking patterns
- Navigate talking to others about your bipolar
- Improve your confidence
