How much do you feel that your bipolar affects your ability to colour inside the lines that somebody else has set?

1. If you agree with those lines/boundaries?

2. If you find those lines/boundaries very restrictive? Or maybe, conversely, ''too loose''...

This could particularly apply to therapy? If you have had a ''favourite therapist'' was that therapist very firm, or more relaxed with their boundaries?

Was or is the therapist open to negotiation? (I have not found the therapists I have consulted to be open to this... which to me seems unhelpful

Which style of therapy/therapist has or is helping you the most with your growth/managing bipolar?

I posted in someone else's thread here about how I think the idea in therapy is that it's a collaborative effort...

How do you feel if the therapist suddenly changes their boundaries? This has happened to me (this was not a good therapist He was not kind about it, and I do not think it was necessary either. ) Would you terminate the therapy? (I wish I had done )

I hope this makes sense
