While many assume #bipolardisorder is only treated with #psychiatric #medications, we believe #bipolar disorder #therapy is effective in helping manage #symptoms and critical in helping people build their lives. In other words, bipolar disorder therapy is therapy. Read more:

The language of the #DSM has a profound cultural impact far beyond its use in #diagnosis. It influences how we talk about and relate to a cornucopia of human activities and experiences. It privileges certain interpretations of emotions, behaviors and attitudes about how we are and how we relate to one another. Read more:

#Available means not committed elsewhere in such a way that would interfere with being #committed here. Read more:

The critical question in starting #familytherapy is that everyone needs to have buy-in, which is to say, all members need to agree they want to do #therapy together. This means work to listen to one another, ask hard questions, receive criticisms, and be open to a therapist’s input. This can be scary for everyone–both those hearing the criticism and those who need to give it. Obviously, everyone also needs to feel like the #therapist is the right choice. Read more:

In most #families who seek a #familytherapist, there’s a leader–someone who’s taken the initiative to find a #family #therapist and seek help on behalf of the family. Often this is a #parent, but in adult families (more on that below), it may be an adult child/ #sibling who organizes the call for #familycounseling. Getting every family member to buy-in to family therapy can be a challenge and sometimes it requires multiple steps. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ecwb9sx7

It’s agonizing to go through a hard time with your #teen. Your teen is your #kid, your #child. As a #parent, you worry more than your teen likely knows. One of the great challenges of #parenting #teenagers is that there can be a lot to worry about. #Parents sometimes get a reputation for being disconnected from their kid’s struggles, but we’ve found that doesn’t usually match up with reality. Plenty of parents are involved in #teens’ lives, but still struggle to connect with what’s going on or, more relevantly, how to help. Read more:

There’s a good deal of debate around the #diagnosis of #PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). The #DSM has remained committed to a fairly narrow definition of the #disorder, limiting relevant# traumatic events to experiencing or directly witnessing events in the order of severe bodily harm and/or fear of #death. In practice, many #clinicians take at least somewhat of a broader stance. Read more:

#PTSD typically comes with difficult, day-to-day #symptoms. While addressing these doesn’t define the long-term plan, at #Tribeca #Therapy, we offer patients with these difficulties a host of tools for managing the #anxiety, #painful thoughts, and #physicalsymptoms that interfere with their lives.

New #moms may not feel #depressed or #anxious enough to fit within the bounds of a #diagnosis, but they may still feel off and not quite themselves. These same moms may hesitate to seek #help, which can limit the #care they receive or lead them to minimize their experiences of s#uffering both to themselves and others. The truth is new #parenthood is a time of pain—normal, transitional #pain that can seem manageable (though still quite #painful) and extreme pain that feels very unmanageable. Both deserve help.

One of our most important jobs as #parents is to teach our #children how to #suffer. Read more from Tribeca Therapy Founder and Clinical Director Matt Lundquist:
