Therapy can aggravate a lot of things. That's not necessarily bad and doesn't mean one shouldn't do therapy.

I think each person, no matter if they are bipolar or some other condition, should ask themselves whether therapy is helping them and make the decision based on that, rather than give undue weight to a blanket statement from an Internet person. Also, consult with your therapist on whether he thinks therapy is helping you. A good therapist will be honest with you.

I am strongly affected by therapy before and after sessions

I think that is a very good sign. Therapy can be hard and should affect us. If you are affected, it shows, at the very least, that therapy is important to you.

Good luck.
