Reset your body clock and overcome your worst bipolar symptoms with this innovative workbook.
If you have bipolar disorder, you may be especially vulnerable to changes in circadian rhythms--also known as your biologic or body clock. If you've ever had low energy during the day, but couldn't sleep at night, you've experienced a dysregulated body clock. You've also likely experienced the myriad negative physical and mental consequences of compromised, out-of-sync circadian rhythms, including changes in mood, sleep, and behavior. So, how do you stabilize this biologic clock, and in turn, stabilize your mood?
In The Social Rhythm Therapy Skills Workbook for Bipolar Disorder, bipolar and mood disorder expert Holly Swartz offers a fresh approach to help you reset your body clock, overcome shifts in mood, and find relief from your bipolar symptoms. Drawn from proven-effective social rhythm therapy (SRT), this groundbreaking workbook is filled with tools and actionable skills for creating a consistent schedule for sleeping, eating, and interacting with others.
You'll also learn how to combat the effects of social media scrolling in the evening--the dreaded enemy of a well-regulated sleep schedule. Finally, you'll discover how to anticipate and plan for potentially rhythm-disrupting events such as out-of-town guests, pandemic-related disruptions, or even a hospital stay.
Our biologic clocks are running virtually nonstop, controlling an amazing array of processes--including sleep, energy, concentration, and appetite. If you're ready to take charge of your circadian rhythms and set yourself up for a better mood and quick relief from bipolar symptoms, pick up this friendly guide and set your clock for success.
