Find an Online Therapist for Anxiety

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online therapist and I provide online therapy for anxiety and also for treating depression without the use of medications. This is a non-medical approach. It employs mindfulness based psychotherapy, which I find to be preferable to medications because it helps you change the underlying process that causes your anxiety and depression. And that’s far better than just treating symptoms.

You need to change the underlying mental process that’s causing your anxiety. And this is typically in the form of reactive thinking and other forms of habitual conditioned reactivity that operates unconsciously.

So during our online therapy sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to work with these unconscious habitual reactive processes so that you can change them, because once you begin to make them conscious then you can basically neutralize those habits one by one. You can neutralize the reactive habits of thinking, rumination or worrying or whatever it might be that feeds the anxiety or depression.

So this is one very important process, basically uncovering those conditioned reactive habits.

If you’re interested in working with an online therapist who specializes in mindfulness therapy then do please go to my website and learn more about this service and reach out to me by email. Contact me if you have any questions and schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you.

One particular focus is on anxiety. This is by far the most common condition that most people struggle with, anxiety. There are many different types of anxiety disorders ranging from social anxiety disorder including agoraphobia, there are panic anxiety disorders. There are anxiety disorders based around intrusive thoughts such as OCD. There is health anxiety, where people feel unreasonably anxious around anything to do with physical symptoms or visiting doctor or fear of a possible disease and so on.

There are many different types of anxiety disorders that we have to work with and overcome. Again re-emphasizing the fact, these anxiety disorders are due to psychological habits and these habits operate unconsciously, and it is by making them conscious that you can change those habits. You can retrain the mind to stop feeding anxiety or depression.

So during mindfulness we learn to uncover these habits. We do this by actually focusing consciousness on the anxiety itself so we can discover the detailed network of reactive thoughts that support it. When you’d find a reactive thought that supports the anxiety, all you have to do is stay conscious, to stay conscious with that thought and not identify with it, not become unconscious, whereby you identify and become consumed by that thought.

Having thoughts is not the issue. The issue is this habit of blindly identifying with thoughts or beliefs. Having beliefs is not the issue. You could have a belief that there may be something wrong with your heart rhythm or whatever or some other physical symptom. You can have a belief but that’s very different from becoming reactively identified with that belief such that the belief essentially controls you.

So that’s what we’re trying to change, this compulsive quality of reactive identification. We do that focusing mindfulness on the beliefs, on the thoughts, on the emotions themselves. And this is what allows us to break free from their control, and when he can break free from the control of reactive thoughts then you can change them. You can actually begin to develop internal relationships based on compassion that can help anxiety and fear and depression heal.

So if you’d like to learn more please reach out to me and we can schedule an online therapy session at a time that works for you. I see people worldwide. All you need is a good internet connection and Skype and PayPal for making a secure online payments for your sessions. So if you would like to get started please contact me now. Thank you.

Online Therapy to Overcome Anxiety and Panic Attacks without Medication

So if you’re looking for an online therapist to help you overcome anxiety, I invite you to take a look at my website and learn more about the online Mindfulness Therapy service that I offer over Skype for the treatment of anxiety without using medications and without other procedures like that.

This is a very different kind of approach, one that focuses on teaching you how to work with your emotions more effectively using the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy, including mindfulness meditation.

So the way that I teach meditation is that you learn how to meditate on the mind and in this case on your emotions and specifically on your anxiety. You have to develop a very close and conscious relationship with your emotions if you want them to heal. The biggest problem that I see is that people try to run away from their anxiety and fear. Trying to avoid anxiety and trying to escape from anxiety producing situations is not a good strategy.

The avoidance is classified as a form of reactivity, emotional reactivity that is itself based on fear. And so if you react to anxiety with avoidance, you are basically feeding that underlying anxiety with more fear. So avoidance is not a suitable strategy.

Medications also can be viewed as a form of avoidance. They may provide a temporary relief from the unpleasant sensations of anxiety, but that is not an effective treatment for anxiety. The medications are really just reinforcing that underlying anxiety.

So if you want to heal anxiety, you must work on developing a conscious relationship with that anxiety that’s not based on avoidance, but is based on being totally consciously present with that emotion and other associated emotions.

This is what I will teach you during our therapy sessions together. I will teach you how to develop a mindful presence with your anxiety. In that process you will be training out of the primary process of reactive identification that also feeds the anxiety.

You learn to be present with your anxiety without becoming identified with it. That means without becoming overwhelmed and consumed by that anxiety. We learn how to develop a conscious presence with our anxiety in which we remain free from that anxiety.

So this is an essential condition if you want to heal anxiety, you have to learn how to be present for your anxiety in the same way as a parent learns to be present with a child that’s suffering. You cannot avoid the child’s pain, you must be present with it if you want to help that child heal its suffering. Our emotions are very much like a child. They are conditioned, they are very limited in the consciousness and are not very good at resolving their own suffering, just like a child, the child doesn’t have the resources to heal its own suffering. That’s what the parent is for. So we have to learn to be like a parent to our anxiety and to any other emotions that are causing suffering.

And this is the whole purpose of meditation.

Meditation means learning to be present with your anxiety by focusing your mindful attention on that anxiety and then bringing in the qualities of fearlessness and love, which is the natural condition of your True Self.

You learn to comfort the anxiety, you learn to look at the structure of the anxiety and see how it works, and then you intervene in a way that helps that anxiety heal.

So building this internal relationship between your True Self and the anxiety or the Little Self is a vital process and it’s very, very effective for healing anxiety. And I will teach you how to do this in detail.

Most people see quite dramatic changes when they start applying mindfulness and particularly this form of mindfulness meditation on the anxiety itself. Typically, you can expect to see dramatic improvements after the first three or four sessions. This is what we should be aiming for. Psychotherapy should be aimed at helping you heal. Just talking about your emotions is not sufficient, in my opinion, to promote efficient long-term healing. You must look at the underlying mechanism of that imagery and the patterns of reactivity and identification that feeds anxiety.

So if you would like to make real changes and produce long-term changes in your anxiety or other emotions that are affecting you in some way, then do please contact me and we can schedule some Skype therapy sessions. Thank you.

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m based in Boulder, Colorado, and I’m a professional mindfulness based psychotherapist. I offer online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.

So if you’re looking for anxiety treatment without using medication then please go to my website and learn more about this mindfulness based therapy service that I offer.

So medications do not treat the underlying cause of anxiety. They only provide a temporary relief from symptoms. And you don’t want to become dependent on medications because they have side effects and they tend to lose effectiveness over time, as well.

If you really want to recover from anxiety attacks you need to address the underlying process that causes that anxiety and that process is psychological in nature.

It’s basically a psychological habit that becomes established and that gets triggered by various triggers and that habit creates the anxiety. But habits can be changed.

And one of the best ways of changing the “anxiety habit” is to actually learn how to apply mindfulness to meditate on that anxiety, instead of trying to run away from anxiety or trying to distract ourselves from anxiety, which do nothing to change the anxiety.

We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety. In that process we learn to develop a stable and non-reactive relationship to the emotion itself and that is vital because if we react to our emotions we end up feeding those emotions rather like throwing fuel on a fire.

When you stop reacting to your anxiety then you stop feeding that anxiety and that is the first to helping that anxiety resolve itself and heal.

So you have to learn how to be present with your anxiety or other emotions without reacting to them. So this is the first step in mindfulness training: how to do that, how to see your emotions as objects in the mind instead of becoming overwhelmed by those emotions.

The second stage in Mindfulness Therapy is to investigate the structure of your anxiety. What actually is there? what happens in the mind that feeds that anxiety, that creates it?

So that involves looking at those patterns of habitual reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety.

As we begin to see these thoughts we can begin to break free from the habit of that reactive thinking in the same way. We can see that thought but not become identified with it, not become overwhelmed by it, not become lost in that reactive thinking, and in that way we stop feeding the fire of reactive thinking, which is one of the causes of our anxiety.

Another thing that we do in our mindfulness meditation on our anxiety is investigate the imagery of the emotion.

So all emotions are accompanied by some form of imagery, how you see it in the mind, and generally, intense emotions are too large, too close and too high in our visual field.

They are overwhelming because we see them above us literally in the mind. And in order to be overwhelming the emotion has to be very large in size.

And it will also have certain colors that support the anxiety, maybe red or orange.

These details are very important. That imagery is actually what creates the emotion in the first place. And the reactive thoughts simply stimulate that imagery.

Now when you can see the imagery you can begin to change that imagery. When you change the imagery, you change the emotion. So part of our mindfulness meditation work is to explore the imagery and explore changing the imagery of our emotions. And this is what promotes healing.

There are other factors that we explore during Mindfulness Therapy and I’ll explain those to you in more detail if you choose to do some online Mindfulness Therapy sessions with me.

If you’re interested in learning how to overcome anxiety attacks without medication then please send me an email and let’s schedule a trial Skype Therapy session.
