I need suggestions for behavioral therapies. My medications work for the major swings but I'd like to incorporate non medicine therapies to my kit.
Suggestions?

Do an online search for the various therapies that are available.
Read up on them and make your pick. I don't particularly care for therapy. It's expensive and I get a lot of good out of reading and journaling and don't have to put up with someone freakier than I am.

I have used cognitive behavioral therapy in the past and found it to be very helpful, I only wish I had a therapist now.

I have done a combination of CBT and DBT skills therapy work. I have found both helpful. DBT = Dialectical Behavior Therapy
CBT = Cognitive Behavior Therapy

DBT into a Buddhist meditation routine

I tell my therapist that I am behaving, so I supose thats almost a form of self actualization. I have realized that I am a bullshit artist half the time.
