Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy for Overcoming Agoraphobia without using antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications

Speak with a Psychotherapist Online through Skype for effective online help and mindfulness-based therapy for overcoming Chronic Agoraphobia, Anxiety, Panic Disorder and Social Anxiety.

If you want to recover effectively from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying habitual anxiety reactions.

Anti-anxiety medications don’t do this. Medications only provide a tempry relief from anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on neutralizing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is extremely effective and most people see significant improvements after 3-4 Skype sessions.

Online therapy works very well as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is required for effective communication and effective psychotherapy.

How to overcome agoraphobia without medication – Online Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

Contact me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression and addictions and many other emotional problems that respond well to mindfulness therapy. One particular anxiety disorder that I work with a great deal is agoraphobia. So if you’re interested in overcoming agoraphobia without the use of medications but through learning the strategic methods of mindfulness training and therapy then do please contact me and tell me more about your condition and I will be happy to answer any questions you have.

When you feel ready you can schedule a Skype Therapy session with me and I will teach you how to overcome agoraphobia without medications.

It’s important to understand that medications are only a temporary solution. They do not and are not designed to change the underlying psychological habitual process that generates anxiety. Medications simply reduce symptoms but really they are not really a good choice in the long run because they leave you vulnerable to those underlying psychological habits that create the anxiety. You want to change those habits and that’s the focus of mindfulness therapy. I will teach you how to neutralize those underlying habits that create anxiety.

So what triggers anxiety in agoraphobia? Well is generally triggered by thoughts and beliefs and anticipation and rumination whereby you get trapped in cycles of fear-based thinking.

What will happen if I have a panic attack away from home? How will I get home? The fear of being trapped, the fear of not being able to get back to a secure zone, basically.

So agoraphobia is characterized by being a prisoner of a comfort zone which often gets smaller and smaller as the disorder progresses. So we have to work on building strategies to get you out of that prison, and we do that by working on those emotional habits directly. Typically we are not really aware of our anxiety producing habits. They operate unconsciously like most habits and we just blindly accept them. We identify with these habits and we suffer because of that.

So the first thing that we do in mindfulness therapy is identifying those thought reactions themselves that trigger the anxiety. We then work in a very specific way with those thoughts reactions and beliefs using various techniques. The first and most important one is learning to overcome this habit of identification so that we can hold the thought in our mind whatever it might be. The fear of fainting, the fear of being out of control, the fear of having a panic attack, whatever it might be.

We do this by meditating on those thoughts. We make every effort not to avoid those thoughts.

So that’s very important. That is the first part of training. We call this mindfulness-based exposure therapy. We are exposing ourselves to those thoughts; those triggers and we train ourselves out of the habit of blindly identifying with them and feeding the anxiety.

The second way we work with the anxiety thoughts is to work with their imagery. We look at the imagery of the thoughts, how we see the emotion in the mind that gets triggered by these reactive thoughts is very important. That imagery is what actually creates the identity. And we work with that imagery in a way that neutralizes the anxiety.

Now the next part of our approach to overcoming agoraphobia that doesn’t require medication is to design a schedule of daily challenges. So this is where we will expose ourselves to a particular situation that would tend to generate those reactive anxiety-producing thoughts.

And with the mindfulness-based exposure therapy that I’ve been describing, you can expect to see really effective progress within a few sessions. Usually after the first three or four weeks of applying the mindfulness techniques that I will teach you, you will notice significant reduction in anxiety and the ability to now start extending your range out of that prison.

So if you’d like to learn more about how to overcome the agoraphobia without using medication, then please email me and let’s schedule a Skype Therapy session.

Online Psychotherapist for help with Agoraphobia via Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy which I offer online via Skype for treating anxiety disorders including agoraphobia.

So I’m often asked if there is a cure for agoraphobia. Can agoraphobia be cured? And the answer is yes it can, as long as you take a very strategic and disciplined approach to overcoming the underlying anxiety of agoraphobia.

The biggest problem that I encounter is that people tend to get into patterns of avoidance. They tend to try to avoid any triggers that might create anxiety. But you have to understand that avoidance itself is a form of anxiety-based reaction and that simply feeds the underlying anxiety. So taking a disciplined approach that’s against avoidance is very important. You must not avoid your anxiety. You will not help it heal or change if you do.

So we have to learn to work with our anxiety, but in a very skillful and effective way and that’s where Mindfulness Therapy comes in. It’s a very effective way of working with anxiety and reducing and eliminating anxiety so that you can restore your freedom to move that you had before the onset of your agoraphobia.

So the methods that I teach are basically mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia. So this is where we set up series of challenges, progressive challenges of increasing difficulty that you work through in a very strategic and focused way using mindfulness. And I will teach you how to work with your anxiety using mindfulness during these online therapy sessions.

If you take this very strategic mindfulness-based approach to exposure therapy you’ll see results very quickly and most of my clients see dramatic changes within a matter of weeks once you start applying these techniques yourself, that is what is most important.

I will teach you in great detail exactly how to do this. I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety. I will teach you how to set up a schedule of exposure challenges. I will teach you how to meditate and train with your anxiety. That’s what we do during these sessions.

So if you would like to learn more about this approach for overcoming your anxiety and curing your agoraphobia, then please contact me and we can schedule some Skype therapy sessions. So please contact me now.

Learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy Service that I offer for treating anxiety conditions like agoraphobia and then contact me and we can schedule a therapy session over a Skype.

I see lots of people throughout the USA and Canada and also the UK and Western Europe and as far away as Australia. People like the convenience of online therapy and of course if you’re suffering from agoraphobia then be able to talk to an online therapist is really essential because it’s usually so difficult to leave home to see a therapist in their office.

So online therapy works very well for people suffering from anxiety disorders. It also works very well for helping you learn skills that you can apply yourself between therapy sessions that basically help you build the confidence to be able to overcome your agoraphobia. This of course involves what we call Exposure Therapy, that is really designing a series of challenges designed to extend the range of your comfort zone, so that you are progressively working with the anxiety and not avoiding it. That is the most important thing when working with agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders. You must not avoid the challenges. You have to do them in a well constructed way, extending your exposure challenges each day, going a little further from home.

But you must also learn how to prepare for these challenges. It is not sufficient to simply jump into a exposure challenge. So I have developed a system called mindfulness-based exposure therapy whereby you will learn to prepare yourself for each challenge and get a successful outcome in managing and resolving your anxiety so that you feel completely comfortable leaving home. And then you feel ready to try the next level of your challenge.

So the mindfulness-based approach to exposure therapy gives you the tools to overcome your anxiety and it works extremely well. Most of my clients see dramatic improvements after three or four weeks of practicing mindfulness-based exposure therapy along with other techniques designed to help you actually resolve your anxiety, to overcome the anxiety and panic attacks that accompany agoraphobia.

So if you’d like to learn more please email me and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype.
