Bipolar Disorder






Bipolar Disorder
How do you treat it?
Places like Psychological Care & Healing Treatment Center realizes that Bipolar Disorder is a lifelong issue, with exacerbations and remissions. The Clinical Staff at PCH Treatment Center has extensive experience in dealing with this disorder. Dr. Jeff Ball has over 25 years in practice treating the spectrum of Bipolar Disorder. He served as a senior therapist in a clinical research project which looked at medication management in conjunction with family therapy in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder, working with Drs. Michael Goldstein and David Miklowitz, foremost experts in this field. In addition to Dr. Ball, PCH Treatment Center features several doctoral level psychologists who have significant expertise in dealing with Clients with Bipolar Illness.
But what is Bipolar Disorder? 
A person who has bipolar disorder has intense moods that flip-flop back and forth between the low lows of depression and very energetic, high highs, which are called mania.
So what causes this condition?
It seems that it is caused by both genetics as well as environmental factors and your first episodes will hit before the age of 30 if you have more of the genetics.   
I have many people in my family as well as friends that have been diagnosed with this condition.  Some have gotten help and some like my mother have decided that being off medication is better for her.  
I however disagree.  I have watched her for many years. When she would be on meds.  Such a efexor she was a zombi.  She went to work, came home and laid on the couch and passed out.  She didnt even do the laundry.  I was 16 at the time. 
After that horrible situation she went off the meds.  Which made it that she was back in this world.  Yet she refused to try anything else.  
I believe that you just need to find a balance.  A medication that works for you.  But even if you are like my mother and you dont want to be on meds. for whatever reason.  There are places where you can get help.  
Places like Psychological Care & Healing Treatment Center.  They have a unique environment for persons with psychological problems who seek an intensive, novel way to resolve their issues. PCH Treatment provides a safe, caring and containing place to begin or continue the healing process. We provide non-judgmental, state-of-the-art individualized psychological treatment, utilizing the most advanced and effective treatment techniques for depression, mania, anxiety, and personality issues. We utilize the most up-to-date treatment modalities combined with a holistic model, focusing on both mind and body. Our individual therapists are at the doctoral level and have 15-25 years of experience. Our psychiatrists endeavor to provide as little medication as possible and only when needed. PCH Treatment Center provides an alternative to an often stigmatizing psychiatric hospital environment.
PCH Treatment Center strives to create a more affordable alternative to “spa-like” residential treatment options.
We do not treat those whose only issue is substance abuse, but rather focus our expertise on what we know best — psychological problems (we do treat those for whom chemical dependency is concurrent to psychological issues). We will design a custom treatment plan and coordinate with a 12-step program when appropriate.
PCH Treatment Center is founded and managed by health care professionals whose goal was to provide a cost-effective intensive treatment program specifically designed for Clients with psychological problems. The success of our Clients signifies that we are meeting and exceeding this goal.

CLEANSING








CLEANSING
Rowan Moonstone 05-28-89
          
When I cleanse a dwelling place, first I burn a good cleansing incense, like frankincense or sandalwood in the home while I prepare for the rest of the ritual. You should have in addition to the incense, a candle, a bowl of salt water and a bowl of herbs. I particularly like to use rose buds for love, lavender for preservation, rosemary for protection, and any other sweet smelling ones that appeal to you personally. If you can get them home grown, so much the better. You should proceed around the house, widdershins (counter clockwise) and cleanse the area with the salt water. Be sure to get each corner, window, door, drain, etc. Simply sprinkle a little salt water on each and ask that any evil or disruptive influences leave the place. When this is finished, proceed around the house deosil (clockwise) sprinkling the blessing herbs and invoke whatever deities or properties you wish on the home, such as peace prosperity, tranquility, etc. In the past, I have used 3 candles on the central altar. Blue, symbolizing tranquility, green for healing and prosperity, and purple for protection. Others might be pink for love, or brown for hearth and home. You and anyone who is to share the home with you should share food and drink, and don’t forget to leave a little of the food and drink to take outside and return to the Earth that which has been given.

Blessed Be. Rowan

The Beach


This is Coco Beach.

Omg the beach is so nice today. Now if my 8 year old would listen that would be even better. She went out into the water alone and almost drown. But she's fine. A little shaken but ok.

Today the waves are not that big amd the water is a nice 76 degrees.

How are you all spending ur sunday?

Sent from my iPhone

Went to see the movie tonight in normal not 3D or anything. And it was AWESOME! I haven't laughed so much in a long time. It was great. And don't forget to stay after the credits for a sneak peek. And after the long credits for a funny clip.

5stars!
