 Hi Laura 
 
If you are sure he is not at risk of injury to himself or others, then be 
with him where he is, and not where you think he should be.  Be curious, be 
interested, be supportive, but most importantly, be open to his experience. 
He is where he is.  This would be my approach as a transpersonal 
psychotherapist in training. 
 
I am also curious about the severity (or lack) of his condition.  Perhaps he 
felt the mania coming on, which is why he told you about it this week.  I am 
currently working with a client who goes from depression to mania and back 
at least once a week, even though she is being treated by a psychiatrist 
with medication.  Her mania is also very different in that it is usually 
characterised by intense anxiety and fear.  I have worked with other people 
who experience these swings from high to low on a daily basis. 
 
If you have any concerns or just feel like talking to someone about it, 
please feel free to email me offline. 
 
Warm wishes 
Lori
