Bipolar Disorder and Trauma Treatment
Understanding Trauma’s Role and Our Treatment Approach
At Khiron Clinics, we understand that Bipolar Disorder often has roots in unresolved trauma. Unlike traditional mental health clinics that focus on managing symptoms, we specialize in addressing the underlying causes of emotional distress. This holistic approach empowers clients to achieve lasting healing and a greater sense of stability.
At Khiron clinics, we see mental health issues as manifestations of unresolved trauma that leads to a dysregulated nervous system.
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
Bipolar Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). While it is commonly viewed as a chemical imbalance, emerging research highlights the role of trauma in its development. Many individuals with Bipolar Disorder have a history of adverse childhood experiences or significant stressors, which can disrupt emotional regulation.
At Khiron Clinics, we believe in treating Bipolar Disorder by addressing these root causes rather than just its symptoms.
What Causes Bipolar Disorder?
While the exact causes of Bipolar Disorder are multifaceted, unresolved trauma is often a significant factor. Childhood adversity, emotional neglect, or chronic stress can alter brain functioning and emotional regulation, increasing susceptibility to mood dysregulation. By addressing these underlying issues, Khiron Clinics helps clients build resilience and regain control over their emotional well-being.
“Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
How Khiron Clinics Treats the Root Cause of Bipolar Disorder
Our trauma-informed mental health clinic employs a comprehensive approach to healing:
- Trauma-Informed Therapy
- Advanced therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, are used to process unresolved trauma and regulate emotions effectively.
- Initial Consultation
- Clients start with an initial consultation with a senior therapist to identify the unique factors contributing to their emotional and mental health challenges. This helps create a tailored treatment plan.
- Holistic Care Plans
- We address not only the emotional but also the physical and relational aspects of trauma to ensure comprehensive healing.
- Flexible Treatment Options
- Our services include a residential program in Wantage, Oxfordshire, for immersive care, as well as outpatient options for those needing greater flexibility.
