If something similar didn't happen to me, I would have found it very hard to believe. It sounds to me like they don't know anything about bipolar or rages--my two went together like peanut butter and jam--and the raging went away as I got the bipolar under control. I never cut, but there was usually a climax where I would destroy something that was symbolic to the particular rage I was having.If I were you, I'd stay far away from these people who *think* they are helping you. But don't give up on your medications Cynthia because when you finally get the relief you really need, it will be from medications. It doesn't sound like your meds are that great right now. I'd put my energy into researching medications and trying to find the right combination for yourself.
That's the exact kind of therapy that made me feel sick inside and eventually give up on it.
Take care Cynthia, Janice
