It is not easy to accept the diagnosis of a mental illness, especially a serious mental illness like bipolar disorder. I know that when I learned of my own diagnosis, my immediate reaction was that of devastation and my long-term reactions included everything from anger to denial to shame. I want this masterclass to be about how to accept a mental illness diagnosis, process those emotions, and go on to find peace with what has happened. Let’s get real about what it’s really like to be diagnosed with a mental illness.
Masterclass on Accepting a Mental Illness Diagnosis: Get Real 7
When you’re diagnosed with a life-altering illness, acceptance does not happen overnight. And certainly, when the diagnosis is of an incurable, lifelong mental illness, true acceptance is a challenge. Such a diagnosis can bring about anger, shame, fear, sadness and so much more. If you’re feeling any of these things, this masterclass is for you.
This masterclass is being given by Natasha Tracy, who lives with bipolar disorder, and knows what it’s like to weep over a life lost to illness. She also knows how to grow acceptance over time. Learn about the process of accepting a mental illness and its effects on a person’s life. This online masterclass not only talks about how to gain acceptance, but also offers hope for finding peace.
