My third goal for this semester in the Advanced Internship class was to find psychoeducation, interventions, and techniques to use with clients dealing with bipolar disorder. I selected this goal because I have had a few clients this semester with bipolar disorder and have felt stuck at times when they have reached their “lowest point.” The clients were never suicidal, however they had a hard time doing things for pleasure. The materials in my binder allow me to incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy by challenging their automatic negative thoughts, discovering how the client’s emotions affect their thoughts and situations, and looking at cognitive distortions. The information in my binder are helpful worksheets and information
