We have been working with those labeled as 'Difficult to treat' for about 15 years. We generally receive clients in their toughest moments. Many come directly from the hospital. We have found that diagnoses such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) including Complex PTSD.
.
In the case of Bipolar disorder, my expectation is that your symptoms will be reduced by 75% or more and you would no longer be diagnosable with Bipolar I, II or Cyclothymia. We usually see suicidal ideation diminish and go away within the first 3-5 sessions. The treatment plan usually takes 20 sessions but some go longer depending upon their brain and other underlying issues. At that point, if you desire you would work with your prescribing doctor to begin titrating down on your medications if s/he deems that to be appropriate.
