Online Psychotherapist for Anxiety specializing in Mindfulness Therapy

Please contact me if you’d like to talk to an online psychotherapist for help with anxiety. So being able to talk to a therapist online is a very good option if you find it difficult to leave home. For example, if you are suffering from agoraphobia or if you have problems with driving anxiety or if you’re living abroad or if you’re living in an area where there aren’t any local therapists.

Online anxiety therapy – See a therapist through Skype for help with your anxiety

So being able to see a therapist online for your anxiety is a very convenient and sometimes very necessary when you are homebound with agoraphobia or driving anxiety.

As long as you use Skype or similar video platform, then seeing a therapist online is just as good as speaking to a therapist in-person. There’s really no difference between online anxiety therapy or in-person therapy as long as you can see each other, being able to see each other in real time improves communication considerably. So it’s really important that you use Skype when you’re selecting an online therapist to work with.

People tell me that they prefer online therapy to meeting in-person because it is much more comfortable for you and less anxiety producing, which is important if you already have a problem with anxiety!

Skype is also very secure for online communication because it is encrypted. Most people feel that Skype is more secure than using a telephone.

How to select an online psychotherapist for anxiety

Also, when you are selecting your therapist, whether that’s online or in person, make sure that they fully answer all your questions about the approach that they use and also make sure that you feel comfortable with that particular psychotherapist and that you feel good about the approach that they are offering. That’s a much more important factor than whether the psychotherapy is delivered online or in-person. It’s it’s really much more important that you find an approach that feels right for you. So trust your instincts.

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety

The style of psychotherapy that I offer for the treatment of anxiety disorders, including agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, OCD, phobias, and for working with panic attacks is called Mindfulness Therapy. This is a very good approach for working with the underlying process that’s causing your anxiety.

So if you want to produce long-term change and free yourself from chronic anxiety, then you need to change things at the core level. Often just talking about your feelings is not enough. It may produce a temporary relief, but it’s not always sufficient to change the underlying psychological habits that produce your anxiety. The same goes for medications.

During a typical mindfulness therapy session you will be learning how to meditate on your anxiety. From experience, meditating on your emotions is one of the most effective forms of psychotherapy, and that should not be a surprise because real meditation, and especially mindfulness meditation, which is what I teach is about looking closely at your emotions to see what is actually happening experientially. This is a direct path to healing; quite different than just talking about your feelings, which is indirect.

Treating anxiety without medications

Anti-anxiety medications such as the benzodiazepines: Xanax, Klonopin, Librium, Valium or Ativan may provide a temporary relief from symptoms, but medications are not going to change things at the psychological level. There are also many unwanted side-effects associated with such medications that makes them unsuitable for the long-term treatment of anxiety.

Anti-anxiety medications are not a good long-term strategy for the treatment of anxiety. You have to change things underneath at the psychological level, and that’s the function of Mindfulness Therapy.

So when we are working with our anxiety, there are a number of really important factors to take into account. The first is that we must break free from the habit of avoidance. It’s understandable that we try to avoid painful emotions, but avoidance is based on fear. So if you react to your anxiety with avoidance, you will be increasing the underlying anxiety. So avoidance is not a good strategy because it simply reinforces the underlying anxiety.

So if avoidance is not a good strategy, what is a good strategy for overcoming anxiety? Well, it’s the opposite of avoidance. It’s about developing a deep conscious relationship with your anxiety and other emotions. So this is the purpose of mindfulness therapy. Mindfulness is about developing a very direct and non-reactive, conscious relationship with your experience, in this case, with your emotions, with your anxiety.

This is the first essential principle that we cultivate during Mindfulness Therapy, we learn to develop an internal relationship with our anxiety. The second factor that is really important in developing this relationship is to cultivate compassion towards your anxiety.

Compassion is the opposite of fear. So the relationship of compassion has a healing effect on anxiety. So we need to develop internal kindness and tenderness towards our anxiety.

This is a way of breaking free from the habit of avoidance and also of aversion or hatred of that anxiety. Hatred will not heal the anxiety. It will proliferate it because hatred, like avoidance, is based on fear itself.

So we work on developing a very strong, conscious and compassionate relationship with our anxiety, because this is what produces long-term results.

Transform the imagery of your emotions to promote healing

Another factor that’s very important in Mindfulness Therapy is to look at the imagery of the emotion. So all emotions are based around psychological imagery, that imagery can be in the form of a memory image, a traumatic memory image, or it can be much more abstract.

The purpose of mindfulness training is to look and see what that imagery is and to explore the properties of that imagery because that imagery is central in the process of generating anxiety. The imagery is the mechanism that the mind uses to focus emotional energy into a specific form like anxiety or depression or anger.

The more we get to see this imagery, the more we can help change the emotion.

So we look at the structure of that imagery quite carefully during mindfulness meditation therapy. After we have built a conscious, compassionate relationship with our anxiety, we start to meditate on that anxiety in order to discover more about its structure.

So we look at the position of the anxiety, that’s a very key part of us imagery, where we see the anxiety is part of what keeps it alive. So typically people notice anxiety in the throat or chest, sometimes in the stomach. It seems to have a position, usually in the body. Now, this is not the same as physical sensations. Physical sensations are the reaction of the body to the emotion and specifically to that emotional imagery. So the emotion often has the same position as the physical sensations that you might notice, but it can be different.

Again, our job is to look and see and find out. So we look for the imagery and we look at how we can change that imagery.

So typically we if we noticed that the anxiety is located in the chest. Then we would explore moving it using our imagination, using our creative imagination to move that emotion from the chest to a different position. And we would explore mindfully what is the best position to move it to.

One classic example, that works for many, many people, is to move it from the chest and put it on your lap. Now the lap is an archetypal position that represents comforting, so that greatly increases that sense of inner compassion that promotes healing.

If you put the emotion on your lap like a child or pet you will find that the intensity of your anxiety is greatly reduced. So training with the anxiety in this way promotes healing.

So often, anxiety is produced by the imagery simply being in the wrong position. It assumes that position out of habit, blind, reactive, conditioned habit. But when we start to investigate that habit consciously, we can change that imagery. We can change the habit. And this is a very important part of the psychological process of healing. When emotions heal they do so by changing their imagery. The imagery of the emotion changes that is part of the healing process.

So when we are meditating on our anxiety, we can speed up this process by investigating what changes in that imagery help that healing process.

We also look at the color of the imagery. That’s a very important factor, too. Anxiety will have a certain color for you, and this color is also produced by habit. When you change the color, you can produce quite dramatic changes in the intensity of the anxiety.

The size of the emotion is another factor that we look at. Clearly, if the emotional imagery is very large, it will be very intense. So that size is also a product of habit. But when you see and bring conscious awareness to it, you can then explore changing the size of the emotion. Make it smaller. That can have a very profound effect on healing the anxiety.

So in this way, we are learning to work with the anxiety to help it heal. So in Mindfulness Therapy, we focus on developing this very strong internal consciousness-based relationship in order to discover how the emotion works. And then we investigate how to help that emotion change. We work with its imagery.

We also work with the blind, habitual, reactive thoughts that feeds the anxiety. You will be very aware of the way that we tend to get sucked in to patterns of chronic worrying, of negative thinking that simply feeds the emotion.

So seeing those reactive thoughts clearly with conscious awareness allows us to break free from that habit, and that takes away the fuel source that feeds the anxiety. So that is another very important part of healing, taking away the fuel source that feeds the anxiety.

So we work on developing this internal relationship with our anxiety based on compassion and conscious awareness, the two key factors of mindfulness. We look at the imagery of the anxiety and we help that change. We look at the reactive thoughts that feed the anxiety and we help neutralize those thoughts by developing conscious awareness around them.

So this is a brief introduction to what I will teach you during our online therapy sessions together. If you’re interested in working with an online therapist to overcome your anxiety and you like the mindfulness approach for healing anxiety, then please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session.

The Mindfulness Therapy approach for healing anxiety; it is very effective and it works very well online through Skype.

Most people see very noticeable improvements after the first three or four sessions. The key is learning how to work with your anxiety directly using mindfulness. This you can do yourself between sessions and that is what leads to long-lasting healing and recovery.

I thoroughly recommend this approach of online mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety.

Please contact me if you would like to get started or if you have any questions. Thank you.

Learn how to manage anxiety using mindfulness

So, if you’re looking for an online therapist to help you manage your anxiety more effectively, then I invite you to reach out to me. Go to my contact form and send me an email. Tell me more about yourself and how I can help you.

So online therapy is an excellent option for you to consider for getting the help that you need for managing anxiety

When you are choosing online therapy for anxiety, do make sure that you select a therapist who uses Skype because this will greatly improve communication, which is very important for effective psychotherapy for anxiety or depression or any other psychological problem. So as long as you can see each other, then online therapy will be just as good as meeting in person.

Lean how to manage reactive thinking

The major aspect of an anxiety disorder that we need to focus on managing more effectively is habitual reactive thinking. So these are patterns of chronic worrying and the proliferation of thoughts around certain self-limiting beliefs that feed the underlying anxiety and keep it alive, very much in the same way that firewood keeps a fire burning.

So reactive thoughts typically happen subconsciously without you choosing what to think. We simply become swept away by these reactive thoughts. We become lost in reactive thinking and rumination and anticipatory thoughts and “what if..? thoughts. And this all happens without our full involvement consciously. They are habitual in nature.

So this complex of habitual reactive thoughts is what really fuels anxiety and keeps it alive and prevents it from healing and simply resolving itself naturally.

So the way that we go about working with habitual reactive thoughts is by deliberately bringing conscious mindful awareness to our anxiety, we learn to meditate on our anxiety. We learn to become the observer. We watch for those reactive thoughts and we establish a conscious relationship, a mindful relationship, with those thoughts.

Develop Objective Consciousness

The first aspect of developing a mindful relationship is that we can see the thoughts clearly as objects in the mind instead of becoming identified with those thoughts. We can see them as objects and we remain as the observer.

So developing this objective consciousness effectively separates us from those anxiety-producing thoughts. When we can see them as an object, we gain greater freedom from the influence of those habitual reactive thoughts.

So that’s a very important part of Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I teach online via Skype. I will show you how to work with your habitual reactive thoughts using mindfulness so that you can effectively neutralize those habitual thoughts.

Now, when you take the fuel away from a fire, the fire will automatically burn itself out. When you take reactive thinking away from the anxiety, then the anxiety will automatically burn itself out.

In this way you will be reinforcing the pathways that lead to the resolution of that anxiety. And the more you practice in this way, the more you develop mindfulness-based objective consciousness around the anxiety and its thoughts, the more you strengthen the pathways that lead to the healing of that anxiety in the brain.

Reactivity simply reinforces anxiety, but mindfulness has the opposite effect. It neutralizes and diminishes anxiety through this effect of developing objective consciousness.

We can also bring in compassion as well and start to treat the anxiety as an object in pain. We can start to interact with it to help it heal faster. Compassion is a very strong healing force and compassion is a part of mindfulness.

So by learning to meditate on your anxiety, you are not only developing more conscious awareness that stops the habitual reactivity, but you’re also developing more compassion towards that anxiety. You are strengthening that internal relationship between you as the observer, the True Self and the anxiety as an object or Little Self. This inner relationship is very important for psychological well-being.

When there is chronic anxiety or depression this internal relationship is usually missing. We simply become identified with the anxiety or depression. So the other thing that we are developing here when we meditate on our anxiety is your True Self. It becomes stronger the more that you train in observing the anxiety and its thoughts.

The more you develop objective consciousness, the stronger your True Self becomes and the True Self is free from anxiety.

So there’s lots to learn about Mindfulness Therapy for anxiety, but is one of the best ways of managing anxiety and overcoming anxiety.

If you would like to get started with an online therapy program to manage your anxiety, then please contact me and we can schedule a few Skype Therapy sessions.

This approach is very effective and most people see tremendous improvements within a few weeks, once you start practicing and working with your anxiety using mindfulness.

So please contact me if you would like to learn how to manage your anxiety more effectively.

Online Therapist for Anxiety Disorders

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

It’s very convenient for you to work with an online therapist to get the treatment that you need to help you overcome your anxiety disorder. Many people with anxiety disorders really don’t like going to see a therapist in person. They find it rather intimidating.

And also many people don’t like taking medications. Anti-anxiety medications like Xanax may provide some temporary relief from symptoms but medications do nothing at all to correct the underlying psychological process that causes your anxiety.

So there are many different types of anxiety disorder that we can treat using Mindfulness Therapy. The most common type is called Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which really describes a condition of habitual reactive thinking and rumination, catastrophizing, excessive worrying. It’s often described as being lost in negative thoughts.

Another type of anxiety disorder that I work with quite a lot is Social Anxiety Disorder, and also it’s more severe form as agoraphobia. Social Anxiety Disorder is characterized by excessive fear of what people might be thinking about you. It’s difficulty and hyper self-consciousness in social situations. It also describes difficulty in going into crowded areas and so on. Agoraphobia, of course, describes a condition where a person is really really scared of leaving what we might call a secure area, like home. It’s very difficult to go beyond certain comfort boundaries. And that’s usually characterized by severe panic attacks.

So Panic disorder is another kind of anxiety disorder that I work with. This describes a very severe emotional contraction, a very intense form of anxiety that is often triggered by specific events or thoughts or situations.

Another type of anxiety disorder is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And that is characterized, yet again, by habitual reactive thoughts or intrusive thoughts that have a very high emotional charge. And because of the high emotional charge, they keep repeating themselves and it’s very difficult to let go of those kind of intrusive thoughts.

**Online Therapist for Anxiety via Skype**

So whatever kind of anxiety disorder you have, Mindfulness Therapy is one of the best approaches available for working with these habitual reactive thoughts.

During our sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to work with your particular anxiety disorder, which means learning how to work with these thoughts.

Now thoughts do not create anxiety. That is a common misconception, but they do fuel anxiety that is preexisting. So anxiety creates reactive thoughts, where the reactive thoughts then feed the anxiety and so you get this positive feedback loop that maintains that anxiety and prevents it from resolving and healing.

During Mindfulness Therapy we learn how to change the way we react to the anxiety. We change the way we relate to the anxiety thoughts. We learn to hold them in our conscious awareness without becoming identified with thoughts, without becoming lost in the stream of reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety. And this is one of the most important first parts of the training that I will teach you: how to sit with your thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them.

And the second part of Mindfulness Therapy is learning how to resolve the underlying anxiety itself. The anxiety is what feeds those thoughts and gives them that emotional charge that causes them to persist and proliferate. And this we do by a variety of methods. But mostly we can describe this as establishing a non-reactive and compassionate relationship with that underlying anxiety. This is what promotes resolution of the anxiety. And once you heal the underlying emotion then the reactive thinking subsides quite naturally.

If you’d like to learn more about working with an online therapist for your anxiety disorder and you’d like to learn more about how to apply mindfulness for overcoming your anxiety disorder, then please go to my website. Read more about the services I offer.

Please reach out to me by email. Contact me through the contact form and let’s schedule a session. All therapy sessions are offered by Skype and we can schedule a Skype Therapy Service session to help you work with your anxiety to free yourself from the crippling effects of anxiety disorders without the use of medications or years of analytical type psychotherapy.

Anxiety Help Online Chat

So during this chat therapy service I will be teaching you mindfulness-based methods for working with your anxiety.

The challenge is to prevent the habit of becoming overwhelmed and automatically identified with anxiety reactions and thought reactions that get triggered in the mind. This is by far the central problem that we address during mindfulness training.

We tend to become overwhelmed. We tend to become caught up in anxiety based thinking, and it happens automatically in a conditioned way without our choice or without any sense of control. During mindfulness training we gain control by actually focusing conscious awareness on those emotional and thought habits themselves.

The more you see them, the freer you become from their grip the less they become habitual and when they break that compulsive blind quality of habitual reactivity then the emotions and thought patterns begin to dissolve by themselves.

This is a very effective and well-tested method of working with anxiety. You focus your conscious attention on the anxiety but learning not to react to the anxiety.

It is like learning to maintain balance. Say on the edge of the river, in order to maintain and strengthen your balance so you don’t fall into the river, you have to actually practice walking on the bank of the river.

And this is the way it is for any form of learning, you have to actually engage with the challenges that cause you to go off balance. Same applies to developing strength through going into a gym, where you need to strengthen the muscle groups in order to be able to run the marathon or whatever you might want to do. You have to work specifically on strengthening those muscles that are habitually weak.

It’s the same with anxiety. Anxiety is simply a learned habits and the habit can be overcome by purposefully facing your anxiety. Not arguing with it, not trying to suppress the anxiety, not trying to convince yourself that you don’t need to feel anxiety. Those approaches are very, very limited in their effectiveness.

The real effective way to overcome anxiety, as I say, is to learn to stand your ground in the face of anxiety, to learn to maintain your independence in the face of your anxiety, to learn how to maintain freedom in relationship to your anxiety and the reactive thoughts that feed that anxiety.

So during mindfulness teaching we actually purposefully find the thoughts that create the anxiety, we purposefully find the anxiety itself and we focus mindful attention on those mental objects until you have complete freedom and balance.

So if you’re interested in scheduling a chat therapy session with me for help with your anxiety or depression of help with panic attacks as well, then please simply email me.

Are you looking for an online therapist for anxiety?

Are you looking for an online therapist for anxiety? If so, you should visit my online therapy site and book a Skype session with me. I teach Mindfulness Therapy, which is probably the most effective treatment for chronic anxiety and panic attacks currently available.

Mindfulness Therapy takes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to a much higher level by incorporating mindfulness methods for building the right kind of relationship with your anxiety and other emotions – one based on consciousness and friendliness instead of the usual fear-based avoidance and aversion-resistance.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist, teacher and author. I specialize in online therapy for anxiety, and if you want to talk to an online therapist for help overcoming anxiety, do please contact me through my website.

Working with an online therapist for anxiety is a very good choice, especially if the therapist employs some form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Mindfulness Therapy. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches you how to fundamentally change your relationship with your emotions.

The biggest problem that most people with anxiety struggle with is how to maintain a relationship with their anxiety and not become overwhelmed by the anxiety or other emotions.

This problem we call emotional contraction and all it is at the end of the day is a habit. It is a learned habit that usually gets started in childhood, because the child does not know how to process intense emotions such as fear or anxiety or panic.

So, what happens is they tend to contract, psychologically, and try to avoid the emotions. So we get patterns of avoidance and patterns further psychological reactivity to the emotion, and then the anxiety becomes stuck, effectively, unable to continue its process of resolution and healing.

So, the most important thing to reverse this emotional contraction is to establish a conscious relationship with your emotions where you are clearly conscious as an observer, witnessing the emotion, giving it, essentially, psychological space in which to exist AND in which to change.

When you are able to sit with your anxiety or panic without feeding it with further reactivity, avoidance and other forms of psychological conditioning that basically takes your consciousness away from the anxiety. Until you can establish a conscious relationship with your anxiety it cannot change.

So, that is a fundamental principle in Mindfulness Therapy. Change becomes possible the moment you establish a conscious and friendly relationship with your anxiety or other emotions, and that is what I will teach you during the online therapy sessions.

So, if you would like to talk to an online therapist for help with anxiety, do please contact me and we can schedule a Skype therapy session for treating your anxiety. Thank you!

Mindfulness-based Online Therapist for Anxiety

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy.

So mindfulness-based therapy is extremely effective for overcoming anxiety and this is because it teaches you how to change the underlying relationship that you have with your emotions.

The primary problem that I come across in the clients that I work with is the problem of reactive identification. This is the process whereby you become identified with your anxiety.

So anxiety gets triggered in the mind and that is just a habit, a conditioned habit. But the real problem starts when you become identified with it. This is where you essentially become the emotion, where you become consumed by it, controlled by it, overwhelmed by the anxiety.

So this is reactive identification and this is the key thing that you must change if you wish to break free from anxiety or depression. It’s the same process in both conditions that really causes the problem to sustain itself.

You essentially end up feeding your anxiety or depression when you identify with it.

Other kinds of reactivity that reinforce anxiety and depression are typically the reaction of avoidance. Running away from your emotions. That will strengthen anxiety or depression because it cultivates fear of your own anxiety or depression.

And the other kind of reactivity that is very, very common is reactivity based on aversion: pushing the unpleasant emotions away. Trying to pretend that they’re not there, trying to talk your way out of those emotions.

These are all ways of pushing the emotion away, suppressing and pushing it into the subconscious and of course that will simply reinforce the habit that creates anxiety of depression.

And that’s an important consideration. In my opinion, it is incorrect to call anxiety or depression an illness or chemical imbalance or any other disorder of that type. These are emotional states that are created psychologically in the mind in reaction to certain triggers.

Now those triggers could include chemical imbalances in the mind, but not typically it is the anxiety or depression itself that leads to chemical imbalances in the mind and those imbalances simply reinforce and feed the underlying psychological condition.

So the way that we can overcome our anxiety or depression is by working on changing the way that we relate to our emotions. And this does not require medication.

It simply requires very careful strategic focused attention on the relationship that you have with your emotions, and that is what we specialize in during Mindfulness Therapy. And I will teach you how to do this.

I have found this approach to be very effective. My clients really enjoy and feel empowered by this approach. And almost all of my clients are able to get off their medications once they start really applying the mindfulness techniques that I teach.

So if you’d like to learn more about mindfulness-based psychotherapy for overcoming anxiety and depression as well, then please go to my website and learn more about my services. And please e-mail me with any questions you might have.

I will be happy to answer your e-mails. And when you feel ready we can then proceed to schedule the first online therapy session. And in that first session I will teach you the principles of how to apply mindfulness to work with anxiety and depression.

Most people really benefit tremendously from this approach and I typically tell people to look for changes very quickly after the first one or two sessions. If you start applying these techniques you will see changes quite quickly.

So if you’re interested in Mindfulness Therapy for overcoming anxiety depression or any other emotional problem and you like the idea of learning how to do this yourself without relying on medications, then please go to my website and contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that was for you.

I see people throughout North America but also abroad. I am from the UK originally so of course I have many clients in the UK and Western Europe but I also see people in Australia and Japan and South Korea and so on.

So all we need is a good internet connection and an updated current version of Skype and we can conduct online therapy.

Whatever you are suffering from, you can get help through Skype therapy, especially the style of therapy that I offer, which is called Mindfulness Therapy and which teaches you very practical ways of working with your emotions so that you get some degree of freedom from the reactivity towards those emotions.

This is perhaps the most important thing that you learn during Skype therapy is how to form a stable and non-reactive relationship with your anxiety or depression or with your thoughts or other painful memories that you are struggling with.

The most important thing is to be able to hold these in your conscious awareness without reacting to them. When you react to thoughts or emotions you effectively feed those thoughts or emotions; you make them stronger.

And, when you feed them then they are not able to diminish and resolve in a natural way like all experiences will do. This phenomenon known as auto-resolution becomes possible only if we stop feeding our emotions with reactive thinking and reactive behaviors.

So this is part of the training in mindfulness therapy that I provide in these Skype therapy sessions.

Online Therapist for Help with chronic Anxiety

To overcome anxiety effectively we have to do two things well:

Overcome Reactive Identification – the tendency to unconsciously identify and react to our anxiety (or other emotions) with avoidance or aversion.
Develop a compassionate relationship with our fear and recognize that it needs our help and friendliness, not more fear.

The combination of non-reactive conscious awareness and compassion is the definition of mindfulness. The healing capacity of mindfulness is truly profound and well worth cultivating. I will show you how to do this.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy for anxiety and also for depression and other common emotional problems that can benefit from mindfulness training.

So if you like the idea of seeing an online therapist for help with your anxiety then please go to my website. Learn more about this service and then reach out to me by e-mail. Ask any questions you might have about how online therapy can help you. And of course tell me specifically about the kind of issues that you are dealing with and I’d be happy to explain to you how we can help you overcome your anxiety by using Mindfulness Therapy techniques.

So during Mindfulness Therapy sessions I will teach you how to change the the impact of anxiety on your well-being.

The most common problem that we have to address is the problem of reactive identification. This is where you essentially become identified with your anxiety or other emotions.

During mindfulness training we learn how to effectively meditate on our anxiety with out becoming consumed by it. You learn to form a non-reactive relationship with your anxiety by deliberately training with it.

Of course our habit is usually to avoid our anxiety, to try to escape from it, to try and medicate it, which is simply yet another form of escape or avoidance. Or we become lost in the anxiety through reactive identification.

What we need to do is to train with your anxiety and effectively form a relationship with it whereby you stop that habit of feeding it through identification or other forms of reactivity.

When you can do that then you can begin to change that anxiety habit, and anxiety is at the end of the day a habit, it is simply a conditioned reaction that has become unconscious that gets triggered over and over again, and we are trying to break that unconscious habits by focusing mindful awareness upon the habit.

When we break the habit of feeding the anxiety day then you can help it change. And we do this by a variety of mindfulness-based techniques, perhaps the most important one being the response of compassion.

This is where we develop a compassionate relationship with the anxiety or other emotion itself. We actually learn to comfort that internal fear, which is what anxiety is.

We learn to relate to our emotions in the same way that we might relate to a child or another friend that’s in need, that’s in pain. We learn to form a compassionate relationship with the anxiety.

We learn to hold it in our compassionate embrace, and that is basically what we mean by mindfulness. Being mindful of anxiety means to stay conscious with it and then respond to it in a compassionate way that helps that anxiety heal.

One of the most important parts of the compassionate response is actually looking at the imagery of the anxiety and changing that imagery.

I can explain this to you in more detail during our first session together, if you choose to contact me and schedule an online therapy session.

Working with the imagery of anxiety is immensely powerful. This is why for example, we typically describe anxiety as being overwhelming. It’s overwhelming because the imagery is very large and has a position above us in our internal psychological imagery. That’s how we see the emotion: being very large, being very consuming and generally at a high level. It has to be at a high level to overwhelm you.

So this internal emotional imagery operates habitually, unconsciously, without our knowing about it. But once we start exploring it through mindfulness then we begin to uncover this imagery. And when you make it conscious you can then change that imagery. And when you change the imagery of any emotion you change that emotion directly, because that imagery is required to make that emotion.

So working on changing your relationship to anxiety so that you do not feed it through unconscious reactivity is essential, but then exploring and changing the unconscious imagery of the anxiety is also essential and I will teach you exactly how to do this during our online therapy sessions together.

So if you’d like to learn more simply contact me and let’s schedule a Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself just how effective this mindfulness approach can be for healing anxiety. Thank you.

Online Therapist for Anxiety

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online therapist and I provide online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression and many other common psychological problems that don’t require medical treatment, that don’t require medications, but can benefit from learning practical and effective strategies from managing the underlying reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that creates anxiety and depression.

Online Therapy is convenient and more comfortable for you

So if you’re looking for an online therapist for anxiety I do encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service. It’s very popular and people really like the idea of online therapy. It’s much more comfortable for you. And it’s less intimidating, it’s less clinical in nature, and much more focused on what we really need to address, which is learning practical ways of working with our emotions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to break free from emotional reactivity

Now, I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly valuable for learning how to overcome anxiety and emotional reactivity in general. It allows us to break free from those underlying habits of reactivity that keep us in a state of suffering and prevent us from being who you want to be.

In reality, these are just habits. anxiety and depression are best understood as being psychological habits rather than being psychological illnesses. They are habits that are conditioned. We don’t come into the world with anxiety or depression.

We learn anxiety and depression and fear and other forms of emotional suffering. We learn them, and that tells us right there that these are best looked at as being habits and habits can be changed once you start breaking free from that process of becoming automatically lost in your emotional reactivity or cognitive reactivity.

This is the problem that we call “reactive identification” and that’s really the heart of the problem, where anxiety or depression gets triggered and then we simply become overwhelmed by the anxiety and depression, we become consumed by it. And this simply feeds the habits. It’s rather like an addiction.

So we just become helpless at resisting the impulse to indulge further in the substance, if it’s an addiction, or the emotional reactivity in the case of anxiety and depression.

So we change this habit by bringing mindfulness to it, which is really a form of consciousness. We learn to develop a more conscious relationship with these habits. And this is really, really important for breaking that automatic unconscious force that causes us to become lost in the habit.

So that’s the first part of mindfulness therapy, learning to break free from the automatic and blind aspects of our emotional habits. The second part of Mindfulness Therapy is about healing the emotional suffering directly. And this we do by developing a mindful relationship with our emotional pain that is based on friendliness and compassion.

These are two key ingredients of mindfulness: friendliness and compassion. So friendliness refers to this process of, if you like, approaching the emotional suffering rather than running away from it or trying to avoid, or trying to suppress it. It’s about opening awareness to embrace that suffering to help it heal.

And compassion is that process of helping the anxiety or depression heal. And this is something we develop through training with those emotions. We deliberately bring those emotions into the mind in order to develop friendliness and compassion and we can help those emotions change and heal through that relationship.

So this is part of what I teach online during Skype therapy sessions. If you would like to learn more, please email me. Tell me more about how I can help you specifically, and if you like the idea of seeing an online therapist for help with anxiety, then please contact me and let’s schedule a session. Thank you.

Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of Anxiety Disorders

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online therapist and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders. So if you’re looking for an online therapist for anxiety and then I encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service for treating anxiety that I offer via Skype.

It’s very easy to get started. All you need is an internet connection and Skype and PayPal to make your secure online payments for sessions and then you can get the kind of help that you need.

So I specialize in mindfulness therapy for treating anxiety disorders and mindfulness therapy is immensely effective because it teaches you how to break free from the underlying habitual reactivity that really is the foundation of anxiety.

Whether that’s generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder or if you suffer from panic attacks or if you are suffering from agoraphobia or any other kind of phobia or even even if you’re struggling with driving anxiety, all forms of anxiety are essentially psychological habits.

We learn them over time, often they get started in childhood because a child is not very skilled at processing intense emotions, whether those are traumatic emotions or intense fear based emotions.

Whatever kind of emotion they might be, it’s very difficult for a child processes so it tends to get stuck, essentially, and get suppressed and pushed down in the mind and it becomes a source of emotional energy that feeds emotional reactivity later in life.

So that’s how anxiety disorders typically get started. But we don’t have to go back to childhood to change our anxiety disorder. We can’t change the past but we can change the present and that is where we look at the actual psychological habit that’s getting triggered right now.

How it actually works right now in your present existence, how does that work. What other kind of reactive thoughts that proliferate around that anxiety and that feed it? What other emotional reactions are associated with the anxiety and that feed it, and so on.

We need to uncover the actual structure of your anxiety, how it really works. And mindfulness is the best tool available for doing this. So during the sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness, how to apply mindfulness to work with your anxiety. And basically what we are learning to do is just take it out of that unconscious habit mode and put it into a conscious space.

We do this by actively meditating on our anxiety. Trying to avoid your anxiety, trying run away from it and suppressing it is not going to help it heal. It actually ends up feeding the anxiety.

But when you bring conscious mindful attention to your anxiety then you are creating the perfect conditions to help that anxiety heal and dissolve itself now, no matter what the cause was historically.

So we built a conscious relationship with our anxiety. We also build a friendly compassionate relationship with that anxiety. The best analogy that I like to talk about is seeing the anxiety as being like a child.

So again, the child is not very skilled and doesn’t have the resources to consciousness necessary to resolve its own suffering. So anxiety is very much like a child. It’s stuck. It doesn’t know how to heal itself.

It requires its parent to do that because its parent has more resources, more consciousness, and a larger perspective to come and comfort the child and allow the child to heal its anxiety by providing a safe and conscious and loving space.

This is what we need to do with our anxiety. When you create that kind of relationship with it then that violence will heal. This has been proven over and over again. I have worked with hundreds of clients now and in every case this is what really makes the difference.

When they stop running away from their anxiety and instead turn toward it and actually learn to meditate on the anxiety. This is what makes the difference.

There are many other factors that we developed during mindfulness therapy for anxiety. Working with that insight in many different levels. But the most important thing I want to communicate to you now is the importance of developing a conscious and friendly relationship with your emotions, because that is what will heal them.

If you’d like to learn more about how to apply mindfulness for healing anxiety and you would like to talk to an online therapist for help with your anxiety, then please contact me and tell me more about how anxiety is affecting you and I will be happy to explain to you in more detail how mindfulness therapy can work for you.

We should schedule a session at a time that works for you and so you can see for yourself just how effective this approach can be for healing anxiety or panic attacks. So please contact me and let’s schedule a session and get started on your path to recovery from anxiety.

Most people see tremendous changes within three to four sessions. It’s quite surprising how effective mindfulness therapy can be. So please contact me if you would like to get started. I look forward to meeting you and helping you overcome your anxiety. Thank you.

Go to my website and email me to find out more about this online psychotherapy service and to organize a therapy session with me.

Online Therapist for Anxiety via Skype

So if you’d like to talk to an online therapist for anxiety then I do encourage you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service that I make available for helping people manage their anxiety more effectively using the techniques of mindfulness therapy.

So mindfulness therapy is a very powerful way of overcoming anxiety and really getting to the root of the anxiety and overcoming the underlying habitual cause of your anxiety.

We do this by really developing a very conscious and also a very friendly relationship with our anxiety, and of course this is counter-intuitive.

We mostly try to avoid our anxiety, we try to run away from it. But as logical as that may seem, if you avoid your anxiety and run away from it or react to it with some form of suppression or even if you simply try to distract yourself from your anxiety you will end up making it worse.

It’s only when you face your anxiety head on, but in a strategic and skilled way that you will create the right conditions for that anxiety to heal.

So mindfulness therapy gives you a very practical set of tools for doing just this, for helping heal that underlying anxiety so that you can be free from it.

The methods are very effective and they are techniques that I will teach you that you can apply yourself between sessions, thereby greatly enhancing the recovery process.

Most people who I work with can expect to see significant improvements within the first three to four sessions. When you start applying Mindfulness Therapy yourself you will rapidly develop the skills needed to heal your anxiety.

online mindfulness-based cbt for anxiety — ***online mindfulness-based therapy for anxiety***

The first technique that I will teach you is how to meditate on your anxiety. Now most people think that meditation is a way of escaping emotional suffering, trying to free the mind of thoughts and emotions. But that’s very incorrect.

Mindfulness meditation is not about escaping the mind, it’s about actually changing the relationship that you have with your mind. It’s about learning how to develop internal compassion, internal equanimity, the ability to sit with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. Without reacting with fear to your own anxiety, and so on.

We have to learn to develop a very stable and very non-reactive relationship that’s based on friendliness and love. This is what produces healing. There are many traditions that teach this in one form or another, but very few traditions of psychotherapy actually show you how to develop this internal mindful compassion towards your own emotions.

This is totally different than just talking about your anxiety. Talking may produce some temporary relief from the symptoms, just like medications can produce temporary relief from the symptoms of anxiety.

But just talking or just using medications is not sufficient. You have to change the way that you relate to the anxiety itself and you have to help it heal.

You have to teach the anxiety how to heal itself. And there’s nothing better for doing this than developing this internal compassion and friendliness that are so characteristic of mindfulness.

So if you would like to learn precisely how to do this and you would like training in how to do this, how to apply mindfulness for healing your anxiety, and you like the idea of working with an online therapist to help you overcome your anxiety, then please reach out to me and let’s schedule an online therapy session.

Most people see big changes even after the first session with me. Once you start applying the mindfulness methods that I will teach you will see traumatic changes.

This is a well tested and well-documented methodology that produces results.

So if you would like to get started with me, do send me an email. Tell me about your specific struggle with anxiety and tell me what you’ve tried so far and then we can schedule a session so you can learn how to apply mindfulness for overcoming your anxiety more effectively. Thank you.

Need an online therapist for anxiety?

Do you need an online therapist for anxiety? Would you like to talk to a therapist online to get help with your anxiety? Then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service that I offer via Skype.

So I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of all kinds of anxiety disorders, ranging from generalized anxiety disorder to social anxiety disorder including agoraphobia. I work a lot with obsessive compulsive disorder and in general the mindfulness approach is particularly effective for producing changes in quite a short time and typically people see substantial improvements after the first two to three sessions with me.

And this is because we focus on really changing the underlying process that causes your anxiety. This is quite different than conventional talk therapy or counseling. And it’s certainly different than medical approaches that advocate the use of medications.

I do not recommend medications for the treatment of anxiety disorders because medications do not treat the underlying condition. They do not change the underlying process that creates anxiety.

Mindfulness Therapy does. It helps you change that underlying habitual process that produces anxiety and that underlying process is psychological in nature. It is basically a psychological habit.

So anxiety is primarily a habit. We learn anxiety, we are not born with anxiety. It is not developed out of nothing. It is a habit that is learned.

We learn these habits quite naturally when we are exposed to emotional trauma, particularly in childhood that we’re unable to process.

When that’s emotional trauma becomes stuck in the mind of suppressed then it becomes the seed that leads to the development of anxiety disorders.

However you don’t have to go back to childhood to try and change emotional trauma in order to recover from anxiety disorders that you might be experiencing now. Whatever the cause of that habit, however it got established the place to change the habit is right now as it manifests itself in your present situation.

So Mindfulness Therapy allows you to change anxiety habits. And them the most important way that we go about changing the anxiety habit is by changing the quality of relationship that we have with our anxiety and other emotions.

So classically, the anxiety habit is sustained by levels of habitual reactivity to that anxiety. The habitual reactivity simply feeds the anxiety. And what is the main kind of reactivity that we encounter? It is primarily the reactive habit of avoidance and the reactive habit of aversion or hatred towards that anxiety.

If you react to your anxiety with either avoidance or aversion then you basically feed that anxiety and you prevent it from changing. So reactivity stops anxiety changing and it prevents that anxiety habit from changing.

So in mindfulness therapy we overcome this habit of reactivity to our anxiety or other painful emotional habits.

We learn to develop a conscious and friendly relationship to our anxiety. This is the key method that produces change and allows the anxiety habit to resolve itself and become replaced by more positive emotional habits.

So if you don’t react to your fear or anxiety you don’t feed it. So we learn to hold the anxiety in conscious mindful awareness without reacting to it. We put the emotion in neutral, in effect.

So we do this by meditating on our anxiety, or any other emotion for that matter. We hold it in awareness deliberately and learn how to sit with with that anxiety without becoming reactive, without becoming identified with it.

When we can do this then we effectively neutralize the anxiety. It takes a little bit of training, but not very much. It is quite surprising how quickly you can overcome the anxiety habit like any other habit when you start applying consciousness, when you start really sitting with your emotions without reacting to them. When you can do that then the habit starts to lose strength and begins to burn itself out.

In fact, the analogy of a fire is very good here. So think about a fire. Its primary direction of change, if you like, is to burn itself out. That is its natural course. It’s only because we throw fuel on a fire that it stops it from burning itself out. Well our emotions operate in pretty well the same way.

The anxiety habit is already trying to burn itself out. It’s trying to heal, it’s trying to resolve itself, it is trying to extinguish itself. But we inadvertently feed the anxiety habit through our continual habitual reactivity of avoidance and aversion.

So once we stop doing that and we hold the anxiety in conscious awareness and stop reacting to it, it cannot do anything else but continue on its natural process of healing. It will burn itself out.

So that is one of the key ingredients of mindfulness therapy, is learning to allow the anxiety habits to basically extinguish themselves through non-reactivity.

We can also help the anxiety habits heal and resolve itself and extinguish itself by working with the imagery of the anxiety, and I will explain that to you in more detail if you decide to work with me and schedule an online therapy session with me.

But all on emotional suffering is based around imagery. How you see it in the mind is what actually causes the anxiety in the first place.

The imagery of the anxiety is what causes the anxiety and that imagery gets triggered by all kinds of different factors, external factors and internal factors. But it is that imagery that is quite important. When we learn how to see that imagery and then change it we can help speed up the process of change.

So if you would like to get started with me with online therapy for anxiety and you like the idea of working with an online therapist like myself who specializes in mindfulness therapy, then please contact me and lets schedule an online therapy session.

This approach is immensely effective and I’ve helped many hundreds of people now over the last ten years using the mindfulness therapy that I have developed.

So if you need an online therapist to help you overcome your anxiety please contact me and let’s schedule a session. Thank you.

Conventional counseling can be beneficial, but often just talking about your feelings does not look at the underlying psychological process that is the real cause of your anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy does focus on transforming the root cause of your anxiety.

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist via Skype for treating Anxiety without relying on anti-anxiety medications

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy. So if you’re looking for an online psychotherapist who can help you overcome anxiety using the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy then please go to my website and contact me with any questions you may have about this approach and whether it will work for you.

My clients tell me they really enjoy Mindfulness Therapy, particularly because it gives you very practical methods that you can use yourself between therapy sessions.

So you effectively will be developing a set of skills for working with your anxiety and these skills will help you overcome the habitual reactivity that causes your anxiety. It also will help you reduce the intensity of your anxiety.

So there are many advantages of working with an online therapist for anxiety or depression or any other emotional problem. Convenience of course, is one of the main reasons why people like online therapy and indeed it is becoming increasingly popular.

Like anything else it’s web-based and people run their lives from the interface of Google or their computer; they like Internet choice, and choice is one of the main features of online therapy.

The Online Therapy movement means you can browse hundreds of different types of therapy and different therapists to find what suits you. So that greater freedom of choice is an important factor for online therapy and that’s why people choose this approach.

Many of my clients have already been to traditional in-person therapists and have often tried medications, and generally the feedback that I get is that traditional therapy may be useful up to a point but it doesn’t seem to really change the underlying cause of anxiety and depression, and that’s why people come to me for help using these mindfulness methods that I’ve developed over the years.

Mindfulness Therapy is very much focused on helping you change the underlying cause of your anxiety; the actual mechanism that creates anxiety now, not analyzing your past or trying to develop some sort of different understanding so much, but really more, looking at the mechanism that creates anxiety and changing that right now, the way it affects you right now.

Mindfulness training, of course, is all about focusing on the present moment. How you experience things now is what is important, much more so than just analyzing the past.

Of course, if past emotional trauma is affecting how you experience things now and it’s a factor that causes anxiety, then we work on that, but we work on how it works in the present, and that is one thing that makes mindfulness so powerful.

So we’re not really just trying to deliver different ways of understanding our mind. We’re trying to change the way that the mind works and that is very much more effective in the long run.

Medications. Again they have their place, but do they really change anything? Do they change the underlying psychological habits that create your anxiety? Do they stop anxiety producing thoughts? No. Generally medications do very little other than reduce symptoms for a while.

But it’s the same thing, you have to get to the underlying cause, not just treat symptoms.

So if you’d like to learn more about working with an online therapist for your anxiety and you would like to learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I teach, please go to my website and please reach out to me with any questions you may have. I’m happy to answer your questions.

When you feel ready, you can schedule an online therapy session with me over Skype and you will see for yourself just how effective Mindfulness Therapy can be for overcoming anxiety.

Typically, most of the clients that I have worked with report significant changes and improvements within the first three or four sessions, and that’s what you should expect.

Psychotherapy should not be a long-term process. You should expect to see changes within weeks, not months or years. If it takes that long then I would simply ask you to question whether that approach is right for you.

So if you would like to get started with me on recovering from chronic anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy, then please contact me now. Thank you.

Online Therapist Specializing in the Treatment of Anxiety

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders. I also treat depression online and I offer addiction counseling online, as well.

The psychotherapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly effective for treating the underlying cause of anxiety and other emotional states like depression and OCD.

When we are working with anxiety, we need to not just talk about our emotions as in conventional “talk therapy”, but we need to look at the underlying process, the process of reactive habitual thinking that creates the anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy focuses very closely on identifying these patterns of negative thoughts that generate anxiety, depression or addictions.

When we find these thoughts, we then begin the process of changing how they affect us. We do this mostly by the process of developing conscious awareness of those thoughts themselves. A thought only has power if operates habitually, out of awareness, and this is what we overcome during Mindfulness Therapy.

If you can develop conscious awareness of those reactive thoughts, then they are not able to convert into the emotion. It’s like, the same as a car, if you place the car in neutral, that car can no longer move, no matter how much you press the accelerator.

It’s the same with reactive thoughts, they only have power if we are unaware of them and if we become identified with them, and we become overwhelmed by them, lost in those thoughts.

The second part of Mindfulness Therapy for treating anxiety disorders involves looking at the actual structure of the emotion underneath the reactive thoughts. What is the nature of that emotion? What is the internal imagery that holds that emotional imagery together?

For example, if an emotion is very intense, then the chances are that your internal picture of that emotion will be very large and very close. That’s what you see internally and that’s what you react to through over-thinking, or that’s what your body also reacts to in the flight-or-fight type response.

When we can find this internal imagery, we can change it, using mindfulness to explore detailed changes that we can make that produce changes in the emotion.

In this way we can actually reprogram that emotion, we can change it totally, we can defuse it, so that it doesn’t get triggered. When we neutralize the emotion, then the reactive thinking begins to change also, because there is nothing fueling that reactive thinking.

So, these are two of the focuses of online Mindfulness Therapy that I offer via Skype.

If you would like to learn more about this online therapy service, please email me, and then we can schedule an online therapy session to suit your time and also to find a time that fits into my calendar. So, please visit my website and read the pages on that online therapy website and then email me. I look forward to working with you. Thank you!

Online Therapist for the Treatment of Anxiety

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

So mindfulness is an extremely powerful form of conscious awareness that can really make all the difference if you’re struggling with anxiety.

So I specialize in teaching mindfulness methods and techniques for overcoming anxiety and I do this online. So if you’re interested in talking to an online therapist for anxiety then please contact me and schedule a few online therapy sessions.

The mindfulness approach, as I say, is very powerful indeed and what it fundamentally does is it breaks you out of those unconscious reactive habits that create your anxiety.

So anxiety is best described as a habit rather than some sort of medical disorder. I think that’s the wrong approach if you want to overcome anxiety. If you want to just suppress symptoms then you might use a medical approach and ant anxiety medications. But that’s not what I advocate, because it does not really address the underlying cause of your anxiety and that is these accumulated unconscious habits, psychological habits that create anxiety.

It’s all about changing our habitual emotional imagery

And during Mindfulness Therapy we look very carefully at these inner habits. We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety so we can examine it in great detail and see how it works. You look for the triggers, first of all. What are the specific triggers that trigger anxiety reactions? Then we look at what happens in the mind as we replay these triggers during our meditation.

Typically most people see that what really gets triggered in the mind is imagery, some form of internal psychological imagery that has a strong emotional charge. That imagery is what really causes the anxiety. So the trigger triggers the imagery in the mind out of habit and that imagery, then triggers the emotion.

So when we meditate on our anxiety we look for this imagery and the more that you see of the details of that imagery the more you can change, because when you see the imagery in the mind consciously, then you’re able to change it, you are able to help that imagery change.

For example, very commonly, people say to me that they feel overwhelmed by their anxiety. Well that tells me straightaway that the anxiety imagery is very large. It’s also probably above you, it is high in your visual field, the way you see it and the mind. You don’t see it on the floor, you see it above you.

Now it has to be above you to be overwhelming. It also has to be very large to be overwhelming. And by that same reasoning, it cannot be overwhelming if it is on the floor, and it cannot be overwhelming if you make it the size of a grain of sand.

So that imagery really defines our emotions. Typically we don’t see that imagery because we don’t look. Well, during Mindfulness Therapy we do look. We look very closely at the structure of our anxiety to see this imagery and then we explore changing it. We explore changing its size, its position, spatial position, perhaps its color, perhaps its texture.

Typically, when people look at the imagery of anxiety they will usually see red or orange colors. That seems to resonate with the feeling of fear or anxiety. If you are looking at the imagery of depression you would probably not see red or orange, but more likely black or grey or dark purple. Those are very common colors. Again those are part of the structure that creates the emotion.

Just because the emotion has a certain color or a certain size or position it does not mean that it has to stay in the configuration. It only shows up in that way because of habit. So when you bring mindfulness to that habit you bring choice and you can start to change the imagery, and when you change the imagery of anxiety you will diffuse the emotion; you will effectively neutralize it.

And it is possible to then sit and examine those triggers, to bring them into the mind, and not experience anxiety. So that’s all part of Mindfulness Therapy and that’s what I teach online. And it works extremely well.

Most people who work with me using mindfulness-based imagery processing see quite dramatic results in the first two or three sessions. It is not that difficult to overcome anxiety when you actually look at how it works. That’s what’s usually missing in a lot of talk therapy and is completely missing in medical treatment approaches, which don’t look at anything.

Online therapist for anxiety – Effective Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer online via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression, addictions and many other common psychological-emotional problems that really respond well to mindfulness training.

So if you’re looking for an online therapist to provide you with effective techniques for working with your anxiety and reducing it and eliminating your anxiety, then please reach out to me. Simply e-mail me. Tell me more about yourself and the particular problems that you’re struggling with and ask any questions you may have about online mindfulness therapy.

So, seeing a therapist online is a very good choice for most people, especially if you use Skype so that you can see each other, then really, there’s no difference at all in my experience between online therapy or seeing a therapist in person.

So how do we apply mindfulness for working with anxiety? Well there are lots of different aspects to this, but the first most important thing to understand is that anxiety is a habit.

It’s something that got established early on in your life and it became habitual, which means that it operates out of consciousness.

So the first aspect of recovery from any kind of anxiety condition is developing more consciousness and that is exactly what mindfulness is all about.

It’s developing an awakened consciousness to see your anxiety clearly as it is without reacting to it, without becoming lost in the constellation of reactive thoughts and beliefs and emotional reactions that make up the structure of anxiety.

We practice seeing all of these components clearly and without becoming unconscious, without becoming reactive. When you react you essentially lose consciousness and you become controlled by that habit reaction.

So this is the first necessary condition for healing anxiety: developing more consciousness of these reactive habits. That will have a very powerful effect in protecting you from becoming reactive and reinforcing the anxiety. In fact, we call this the protective effect of mindfulness.

Many people, and I’m sure you will agree, are very aware of their anxiety, they know that it’s there, it’s ruining their life, it causes tremendous suffering. So you know it’s there. That is awareness but it’s not quite the same as consciousness and certainly not the same as mindful consciousness. So the kind of awareness that we are normally used to is really simply the awareness that accompanies those habitual reactions.

In Buddhist psychology we call these habitual reactions sankharas. They are part of what makes up each moment of our experience. And the problem is that we become identified with these sankharas, these mental objects, these mental formations, and when that happens we become reactive. We become prisoners of those mental formations.

So the first necessary condition for healing is to separate out from the reactive habits and instead, becoming and establishing yourself as the Observer of these mental formations. So as the Observer you are observing these mental objects that arise in the mind: thoughts, emotions, beliefs, etc.

But the observer is not the object that it observes. It is something quite different within you. And that kind of consciousness is what we are talking about when we are training in mindfulness.

So mindful consciousness is not conditioned. It’s not reactive. It’s not limited. It’s basically best described as being like a space that contains those mental objects. But it is not the same as the mental objects. It is quite different.

So when we are working mindfully with our anxiety we are learning to develop this internal space as our primary identity. That’s who you really are. That’s your True Self, the bigger mind. The contents, the habit formations that make up the anxiety, that’s the little mind, the little self.

And so with training with the anxiety by actually focusing mindful attention on your anxiety, you begin to develop this different side of yourself, this unconditioned True Self which is simply the process of observing, itself, observing these thoughts and emotions in the mind. That is what begins to allow healing to occur.

If you become reactive that simply feeds the anxiety and it prevents healing from occurring. So reactivity inhibits healing. Non-reactivity, which is that unconditioned consciousness that is your True Self, that does not feed the anxiety habit and it allows it to heal.

The second part of mindfulness training, and I will teach you how to do this, is to develop compassion and friendliness towards your anxiety and other emotions that make up that anxiety. The friendliness component is an essential ingredient of mindfulness. If it does not have compassion or love within it then it is not mindfulness. It may be awareness but it’s certainly not mindfulness. Mindfulness must have this. There’s this added quality of friendliness and compassion.

So we learn to cultivate compassion towards our anxiety and, of course, that is precisely what the anxiety or fear needs. It needs to reconnect with that bigger part of you that can provide love and compassion. Anxiety typically gets started when those mental formations become disconnected from your True Self.

When they become isolated and cut off from your True Self, that’s what allows them to proliferate and that prevents them from healing.

Well when you bring them into the True Self and start to take care of them, then they start to heal. So we build this relationship. This is part of mindfulness training and the basic process by which we do this is mindfulness meditation.

So this is a different kind of meditation than you may be familiar with, but mindfulness meditation or Vipassana, as it’s called in Buddhism, is really a process of meditating on the mind.

It is developing this relationship of the Observer or True Self seeing the contents of mind, which is where the suffering occurs, and it’s seeing the suffering, awakening to the suffering and responding in an active way with love and compassion, which heals that suffering.

So we meditate on our emotions. We go and search for our anxiety. We review all of the triggers that trigger that anxiety and we meditate on those triggers. It might be past events and maybe future events that we are worrying about. It could be just what you’re experiencing right now inside yourself as a felt sense of something that’s suffering, that’s out of balance, that’s not healing. It’s somehow disjointed that is dissonant. That suffering or dukkha as it’s called in Pali, the language of the Buddha.

So we meditate on our emotions in order to develop this healing relationship of mindfulness, compassion and consciousness. It’s very effective indeed.

When you start to develop this internal compassion and internal acceptance the anxiety is able to heal itself. This approach of Mindfulness Therapy is very effective and considerably more effective than reaching for medications. Medications will do nothing whatsoever to promote healing. They simply mask symptoms. Well that’s not enough. That’s not good enough.

So we need to start taking charge of our anxiety. We need to take responsibility for healing it. Medications will not heal anything.

I will be most happy to answer your questions about psychotherapy via Skype for anxiety, and when you feel ready, you can schedule a Skype therapy session with me. The mindfulness approach that I teach is incredible effective for all kinds of anxiety disorders and most of my clients see major improvements in a matter of weeks.

Welcome! I provide treatment for anxiety online via Skype. This is a very powerful and very convenient method of obtaining the help you need for conquering anxiety and excessive chronic worrying and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Not everybody wants to take drugs for treating their anxiety. Medication does not treat the underlying cause, or underlying process, that creates anxiety on a daily basis, although medications may provides temporary relief, of course. The best treatment for anxiety involves exploring and transforming the root process that causes your anxiety.

The type of psychotherapy I offer through Skype is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which is extremely effective for handling chronic anxiety and for treating depression and other mental problems clearly caused by an underlying process of habitual reactive thinking.

The most common cause of chronic anxiety is habitual reactivity and it’s necessary to see this pattern of reactive thinking clearly.

So, this is the fundamental part of Mindfulness Therapy, learning how to recognize those anxiety-producing thoughts, learning how to see them clearly, without becoming lost in them and without becoming identified with them.

So, that is a part of Mindfulness Therapy. The other part is working with all the associated emotions that fuel reactive thinking. So, some of these core emotions might be a sense of fear, of inadequacy, a feeling of self-hatred and anger, or some form of shame or guilt.

We have to establish a mindfulness relationship based on friendliness with each and every emotion that feeds our anxiety. When we do this we create the proper conditions in which the emotions can heal.

When we’re able to form a compassionate and conscious relationship with our core emotions then those emotions start to change and heal. So, promoting inner healing is an essential second part of Mindfulness Therapy.

Online Psychotherapist for Anxiety

So would you like to see an online therapist for anxiety? Seeing an online psychotherapist for the treatment of anxiety is a very good option if you specifically want to learn how to manage your anxiety yourself without relying on continual treatment by a psychotherapist or medications.

Medications are useful in some cases but typically do very little, indeed, to change the underlying cause of your anxiety. And that’s what you really need to focus on if you want to recover.

So we don’t want to become reliant on a therapist or medications or other treatment protocols to overcome our anxiety.

Rather focus your efforts on learning how to manage your emotions and thoughts more effectively. And that’s what I teach during my online Mindfulness Therapy sessions.

I will show you very practical ways of eliminating anxiety by working with your emotions using mindfulness.

online psychotherapy for agoraphobia — **Online Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy for anxiety**

Mindfulness Therapy is similar in some ways to CBT but it’s actually much more focused on helping you change emotions directly, on promoting healing rather than trying to get you to change your views or beliefs as is the typical focus in CBT.

We want to find those emotions that are stuck, essentially, and we want to help them change and heal so that you no longer feel anxiety when you encounter the triggers in your life that trigger anxiety. That’s the goal and, in my opinion, Mindfulness Therapy is one of the most effective methods for achieving this goal.

So if you like to learn more and you are interested in seeing an online psychotherapist for anxiety then simply go to my website and contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that works for you.

Most of my clients come to me for help with anxiety and want to learn how to use mindfulness to overcome their anxiety.

Typically clients have already tried conventional talk therapy, sometimes for years. Most of my clients also have had experience with prescription medications and anti-anxiety medications, and usually want to do something different.

The overwhelming opinion from my clients is that talk therapy, just talking about your emotions, is not really very effective in the long term, and the same for medications, they may provide a temporary relief, but they do not provide a long-term solution for anxiety.

People come to me, and if you want to start with me, then simply send me an email, and you will see significant improvements after the first three or four sessions with me because the focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to teach you how to work with your emotions and how to promote healing of the anxiety and depression and other emotional suffering.

How to Overcome Anxiety through Mindfulness Meditation Therapy

Old style talk therapy can be helpful, but often common talk therapy does not alter the underlying structure that creates your emotional suffering.

The same can be said for medications – medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to change the underlying habitual psychological process that generates the anxiety or depression. We have to change things at this deeper level ignorer to fully recover from an anxiety disorder, and this is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy.

The kind of psychotherapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is very effective for managing chronic anxiety as well as for treating depression and other common psychological problems resulting from conditioned reactive thinking. Most of my students see real and lasting changes after 3-4 sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional mindfulness therapist and I offer online therapy over Skype.

Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is one of the most successful psychotherapies available for overcoming anxiety disorders. It has elements of CBT but focuses much more on changing the actual process that creates anxiety and depression in the mind.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist offering Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty and which I talk about in my book, “The Path of Mindfulness Meditation.”

If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety through mindfulness meditation, do please go to my website and learn more about this unique approach to overcoming anxiety.

Mindfulness Therapy is particularly effective for anxiety and also for depression, and this is because it teaches you how to change your relationship to your emotions and to your thoughts so that you don’t become so easily overwhelmed by recurring patterns of emotional reactivity or intrusive thoughts.

This is the major problem that most people face – is what we often call “rumination” or “automatic reactive thinking” that triggers the underlying emotion of depression or anxiety.

Mindfulness allows us to break free from this automatic process by making it conscious. We begin to see the thoughts as triggers and the moment we see the process happening we can stop it right there and then through becoming conscious of that trigger.

With practice you can learn to see thoughts and emotional reactions as they arise in the mind, but then you are able to stop them turning into anxiety and depression. In this way, we take the fuel away from that underlying anxiety or depression. If you stop feeding the fire of anxiety or depression then the emotion will burn itself out and healing becomes possible.

During Mindfulness Therapy we learn how to actually meditate on our anxiety or depression or other painful emotions. And, it is through this process that you begin to change the whole process that creates the emotional suffering.

If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety or depression using Mindfulness Therapy, then please CONTACT ME and then we can schedule a therapy session over Skype to help you overcome from your anxiety disorder.

Mindfulness Therapy works really well through online Skype therapy sessions. So, please go to my website and contact me. Thank you!

So how can we overcome anxiety attacks without medication?

The problem of an anxiety disorder is that it’s not short-lived like “normal anxiety”, it persists, it is recurrent. It keeps affecting the quality of our life on a daily basis, it keeps coming back. That is not a normal state of anxiety. It’s basically become a self-sustaining habit that recreates itself over and over again when certain triggers are present. For example driving anxiety. So chronic driving anxiety or phobia is quite different than the normal kind of anxiety we might experience when traffic is very heavy or when weather conditions change on the road. So driving anxiety disorder is one in which we are propelled into panic attacks and to extreme fear reactions by really quite normal triggers.

So in that case we need to find a way of changing the underlying habit that causes that anxiety. This we can do through mindfulness therapy and other forms of psychotherapy that address the underlying habits that is causing the anxiety.

Medications may have a place in some situations, but it’s really important to understand that medications are not going to change that psychological habit. All medications do is relieve the symptoms for a while.

So, if you have persistent anxiety, an anxiety disorder, such as a phobia or such as OCD or a panic disorder or agoraphobia or any other form of extreme anxiety, then you need to look at the underlying psychological habits.

We can change that by becoming more conscious of how the habit works. The typical response that we have, usually, to any kind of unpleasant experience such as anxiety is that we run away from it. We try to avoid it. We try to avoid the triggers that produce that anxiety. But this really starts to strengthen that anxiety habit.

It means that we become more and more under the control of habit and that simply strengthens the habit. So, in Mindfulness Therapy we recognize this as a primary problem: avoidance and also aversion to unpleasant emotional reactions. That’s really what feeds the habit.

Instead, we learn to sit with our anxiety in much the same way as we might sit with a friend who is in pain. You learn not to become as upset as our friend, but rather to become a safe and supportive person that is able to provide a space around that anxiety that’s what helps the person overcome their anxiety if we can provide that protective space.

Is very much the same with our emotions. We learn to become friends to our emotions by creating a protective space around them so that the emotions don’t ignite further reactivity in the form of reactive thinking and react to behaviors that feed that anxiety.

When you can sit with your anxiety in this way not reacting to it then you’re creating the ideal conditions in which that anxiety will begin to change itself and begin to heal. And when you’re not reacting then you can actually participate in is healing, you can help it heal itself. So we call this building the alliance between your True Self and Little Self. The Little Self is the anxiety and other emotional habits that operate blindly out of consciousness like any habit to feed that anxiety.

The True Self is that part of you that can observe the anxiety without reacting. It’s what can be present with the anxiety without becoming anxious. So once you get that dynamic between your True Self, the observer mind and the Little Self, the reactive mind, then you can begin to change those habits.

I will teach you how to do this during these online therapy sessions that I offer. So if you’d like to learn how to avoid and overcome anxiety attacks without medication, do please go to my website and then email me to schedule an online therapy session. This approach of using mindfulness is very effective indeed, and most people see significant changes after the first two or three sessions.

Overcoming Anxiety through Mindfulness Therapy

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

Overcoming anxiety through mindfulness is a very effective approach and it is often quite easy to get established in a practice where you learn how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety or panic attacks and this is what I teach during online therapy sessions, which I offer via Skype.

If you’re interested in learning how to overcome anxiety or depression using mindfulness then please go to my website and send me an email and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have and to get started with mindfulness-based therapy.

The most important thing we learn when we’re applying mindfulness to overcome anxiety is to change our relationship to our anxiety and also to the thoughts that feed that anxiety. Typically people have a very unconscious relationship, a very habitual relationship with their anxiety. We tend to identify with it.

We tend to react to it with avoidance or some form of aversion, self-criticism, self-hatred for having anxiety. These kind of reactions, these habitual forms of reactivity, have the undesired effect of strengthening the anxiety.

So to overcome anxiety you need to change your relationship to these emotions and to the thoughts that support these emotions, and we learn how to do that during mindfulness training. We learn how to sit with our emotions and with our thoughts without reacting. That is the key first principle of mindfulness therapy and training.

We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety and this is what makes the difference. When you learn to develop a non-reactive relationship with your emotions, that effectively creates the right conditions whereby they start to heal.

But we take it further than that because mindfulness is not just about becoming more aware and less reactive. It’s also about developing a level of friendliness or love towards your own emotions and thoughts. Love is a very powerful healing force and when you can actually make friends with your emotions then you will increase the rate of healing by a huge factor.

So if you’re interested in learning more about how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation for healing anxiety or depression, for overcoming painful emotions, then please go to my website and send me an email and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype, in which I will teach you how to work with your emotions using mindfulness. Thank you.

Therapy Online via Skype for Help with Anxiety

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I provide therapy online over Skype. Many people like the convenience of online psychotherapy because it means that you can manage your own therapy process from home without having to leave home and go to a therapist’s office. This is much more conducive to making progress, in my opinion, because you feel more in control. It’s less intimidating and it’s just much more empowering for you to be able to have your therapy sessions at home.

If you are interested in learning more about therapy online through Skype, do please contact me through my website.

So, the style of therapy that I offer, which works extremely well online, is called Mindfulness Therapy. The whole focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to teach you very effective, practical ways of managing your anxiety or depression.

This means looking at the underlying structure of your emotions. What do I mean by the structure of emotions? Well, every emotion is associated with some form of underlying imagery. An emotion is created by the way that we see the emotion or thought in the mind.

If, for example that imagery is very large then that will produce very intense feelings. If the imagery is positioned above us in our inner psychological space then we will feel overwhelmed. That’s why we use terms like feeling overwhelmed or feeling that your emotions are getting on top of you, feeling weighed down by your anxiety or depression, etc. These are visual phrases referring to a visual psychological process.

So, this is a very important area that we explore during Mindfulness Therapy sessions. We want to see this imagery, because when you can find out more about the structure of that imagery then you have choices, then you can begin to change that imagery in a direction that leads to change in the emotion.

When you change the imagery you change the emotion.

Then you can literally feel that you are getting on top of the situation, you are getting on top of your emotions, because we see our self on top of the emotion. That is exactly what is happening psychologically. Now we can take charge of that process by bringing mindful concentration and conscious awareness to examine the structure of our emotions.

So, this is one part of the mindfulness-based online therapy that I offer for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Another part of the mindfulness therapy process is learning how to change your relationship to your emotions, entirely, so that you are not compelled to identify with those emotions and become a prisoner of the emotions that get triggered.

It is learning to break free from those emotional habits and this is made possible more consciousness of those habits. the more you illuminate emotional habits, the less power they have, the more the imagery will change, and the more you will feel the sense of choice, of freedom in relationship to those emotions.

So, those are two of the processes that we explore during mindfulness therapy, and each of these sessions can be very powerful, indeed, in helping you fundamentally change the inner landscape of your emotions.

If this interests you, do please CONTACT ME and schedule a Skype therapy session.

Online therapy is becoming very popular these days and there are now many online therapy sites to choose from, but very few offer this quality of mindfulness therapy that I provide online.

So, if Mindfulness Therapy interests you, contact me via the Contact Page to schedule a session through Skype and see how it works for you. Thank you.

Stop habitual anxiety thoughts through Online Mindfulness Therapy

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional mindfulness-based psychotherapist and I offer online therapy for anxiety via Skype.

I’m often asked how to overcome anxiety thoughts, how to stop anxiety thoughts from controlling your life. This is a very interesting area because for most people their first reaction is to simply try to remove the thoughts by a process of resistance and aversion. Just do not think about those thoughts and they will go away. This this kind of reaction of aversion to thoughts is very common.

And another approach that’s also equally common is one of distraction. Simply distract yourself from the unpleasant anxiety producing thoughts so you don’t think those thoughts and focus on positive thoughts and that will make them stop.

But, in my experience these approaches of avoidance and aversion just don’t work. You cannot stop anxiety thoughts by trying to fight against them or trying to distract yourself away from them by positive thinking or other means.

A much, much more successful approach is one of learning how to change your relationship to these thoughts. The best way to stop anxiety thoughts is to actually make friends with them, to bring them into the mind as welcome guests and change your relationship to them, from one of aversion to one friendliness.

When you develop friendliness in the mind it essentially makes you bigger and the thoughts. It helps change the balance of power. If you fight thoughts it makes you smaller than the thoughts so that they tend to have more power. So that’s why aversion doesn’t really work very well and avoidance is just simply another form of aversion.

If you really want to change anxiety thoughts the best thing is to invite them in but then sit with those thoughts with mindfulness, with a quality of mind that is non-reactive, that is conscious and friendlily.

Non-reactivity is the solution here. If you stop reacting to those anxiety thoughts they will lose that power and burn themselves out and eventually they will stop arising at all.

So this is what we learn during the mindfulness training that I offer online. It is learning how exactly to do this: how to change your relationship to your thoughts so that you’re not fighting them and that you’re not avoiding them, but you’re actually putting your efforts into changing your relationship to your thoughts so that you have the power, and the thoughts to not have the power to control you.

This approach of mindfulness is extremely effective. It’s quite easy to do. It just takes a little bit of guidance and I will show you how to do this during the online therapy sessions. So if you’d like to learn how to stop anxiety thoughts and how to free yourself from anxiety panic attacks, as well, then please go to my web site.

Learn more about mindfulness therapy for anxiety. And then e-mail me and we can schedule a therapy session over Skype at a time that works for you. And even after the first session of learning how to work with anxiety thoughts.

I think you’ll see some tremendous improvements. Most clients see quite dramatic improvements after the first three or four sessions of practicing the mindfulness techniques that I teach.

So, please email me if you’re interested and I would like to schedule a Skype therapy session with me. Thank you.

Online Therapy Sites - Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy Service for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression. Speak with an Online Therapist via Skype — ***Speak with an Online Therapist via Skype for help overcoming anxiety***

If you’re interested in online psychotherapy you should check that the therapist that you are considering is able to provide sessions via Skype. I believe it’s essential that you are able to see each other as well as speak to each other, because this greatly improves the effectiveness of communication. And that’s a very important fact when you’re working with difficult emotional conditions like anxiety and panic attacks or depression, or even for work with addiction.

Many people like online therapy because it’s clearly more convenient. And if you’re living abroad or in a rural area you might find it difficult to find a local therapist that you want to work with.

People like the greater privacy also offered by online psychotherapy. It means that you can conduct your sessions from home and in the privacy of your own environment. And that’s quite important for a lot of people. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable talking about our emotional problems.

If it’s an addiction it’s often very difficult to talk about that in a more public setting. Being able to talk about your anxiety online is much less intimidating for most people. So that’s one of one of the additional benefits of online therapy via Skype.

Online therapy for anxiety and depression via Skype - TALK WITH A THERAPIST ONLINE — **Talk to a therapist via Skype – Skype therapy sessions for help with anxiety and depression**

The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called Mindfulness Therapy and this is a particular approach that I developed many years ago now, that has proven to be incredibly effective for helping people manage and overcome anxiety disorders.

It’s a technique that uses mindfulness. Mindfulness is simply a way of focusing conscious attention on emotions and on thoughts and memories and other components of the mind. It’s a way of becoming conscious without becoming overwhelmed or consumed or lost in anxiety or depression or any other emotional formation.

We have to build a conscious relationship with our emotions. That is an absolute requirement for them to change, in my opinion.

Talking about your anxiety can provide temporary relief but it’s seldom as good as actually building an internal relationship with your anxiety in which you spend more time, if you like, listening to it rather than reacting to it or trying to explain it away or trying to understand it.

All of these forms of cognitive processing are really taking you away from the emotion itself.

I think it’s much better to see the emotion directly and look at what can help it change itself, helping it to heal, and that’s a very important focus of mindfulness therapy – it’s helping emotions heal directly, immediately by building this conscious relationship with them.

And the best analogy is to think about what you would do if you were helping a friend or a child that was in pain, suffering, upset about something.

You really want to establish a direct conscious presence, first of all. It’s a way of establishing trust. It’s a way of creating a safe space in which the person can explore the structure of their own emotions. And that’s absolutely essential and that’s what we do with our emotions when we bring mindfulness to them.

We create a safe space around our anxiety and we begin to explore how that anxiety works. One of the most important things we first focus on is the constellation of reactive thoughts that feeds that anxiety.

So anxiety tends to lead to proliferation of anxiety-based thinking. And this in turn feeds the underlying anxiety and creates this vicious feedback loop that stops the anxiety healing.

So the first part of mindfulness is all about learning to see these reactive thoughts and breaking the unconscious habits of becoming lost in those thoughts.

So we’re not indulging the anxiety. Instead we are simply creating a conscious and non-reactive relationship with it.

So this is technically called establishing equanimity with your anxiety or other emotions that you’re working on during mindfulness therapy we build equanimity. That means we are able to have a conscious relationship with emotion without reacting in any way.

Even labeling it is a form of reactivity. Trying to understand it as a form of reactivity. Talking about it is a form of reactivity. It’s much better to build direct conscious relationship with it. That is what really promotes healing.

The second thing that we focus on in great detail during Mindfulness Therapy is looking at the internal imagery of the emotion. And this might be a new concept to you, but if you think about it you will begin to realize that all emotions are based around imagery.

That’s why we use image based language when we talked about our emotions. You might say for example, “I feel overwhelmed by my anxiety.” That tells you right there that the internal imagery of that anxiety is very large. It has to be very large in order to overwhelm you. It probably is seen higher in your visual field – it is seen above you. It is not going to be on the floor.

So language points to the internal psychological imagery that actually provides the structure to the emotion itself. Now, seeing that imagery is really, really important. Because when you can see it you then you can begin to change it. And when you change the internal imagery of an emotion you change the emotion.

So this is a very effective part of the healing process – helping to change the imagery of the emotion.

In the case of traumatic memories this is precisely how they heal, how we get over the traumatic memory. It is because the imagery changes over time. It’s often very slow to change if we’re allowing it to change naturally. But if we focus conscious awareness on that imagery and directly help it change then it heals a lot quicker.

So that’s another major part of mindfulness therapy.

You will see in the very first session just how powerful this approach can be and most people see changes after the very first session, when you start applying the mindfulness methods that I’ll teach you on how to work with your anxiety.

That’s the goal of this teaching – to give you the tools to manage your anxiety and to heal it. So please contact me if you’d like to get started.

Skype Therapy for overcoming anxiety

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy via Skype. Online therapy sessions are very convenient for most people and the style of therapy that I offer, which is called Mindfulness Therapy, works extremely well online. The major feature to make online therapy work is that you can see each other as well as talk to each other and of course you can do that through Skype therapy sessions. So, Skype is definitely the preferred choice if you are considering online therapy.

The style of therapy that I offer, Mindfulness Therapy, is quite exciting, and most people specifically seek me out because this is my specialty. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy and I have written a book about it called The Path of Mindfulness Meditation, and in my experience as a psychotherapist for the last 10 years or so, now, there is no question that Mindfulness Therapy is by far the best choice for changing habitual emotional reactions and it is extraordinarily effective for overcoming anxiety.

If you are struggling with persistent anxiety or depression or addiction or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) then Mindfulness Therapy is really effective indeed, and I would say more effective than cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, because it works at the actual processing level of the emotional reactivity itself. It help you change the fundamental underlying process that creates the emotion and that creates reactive thinking that feed that emotion.

So, Mindfulness Therapy is definitely the way to go if you want to take charge of changing your anxiety or depression without the use of medications, and as I say, most people find it more effective than CBT, which is one of the better choices in my opinion out there.

If you are interested in Skype therapy sessions with me, do please go to my website and send me an email. Ask any questions you have about the process of Skype therapy, and of course, tell me about the specific emotional issues that you are struggling with and then we can explore how Mindfulness Therapy can help you.

Standard counseling can be useful, but often it does not change the underlying psychological process that creates your anxiety and depression.

This also applies to the use of medications – drugs may offer a short-term relief from anxiety and depression symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to transform the underlying process that produces the emotional pain.

The approach of therapy that I provide online via Skype is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which is very effective for promoting recovery from anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Agoraphobia, OCD, Phobias and Panic Disorder} as well as for treating non-clinical depression and other emotional-psychological suffering caused by habitual negative thinking.

Most clients report dramatic changes after the first couple of weeks of Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy with me.

Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy is an excellent choice for most people because it works on healing the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just treating symptoms. The focus is on teaching you practical tools and methods between sessions. This is why most of my clients notice changes very much quicker than is reported for the usual “talk therapy.”

Go to my website and email me to discover more about this Skype-based counseling service and to arrange for an online therapy session with me.

This Skype counseling therapy service is available throughout the USA, UK and Western Europe and world-wide. All you need is a reliable internet connection and you are ready to start online psychotherapy with me.

How do you learn to be more at ease when you have bad anxiety?

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional mindfulness based psychotherapist, living in Colorado USA, and I offer online Mindfulness Therapy worldwide for the treatment of anxiety and depression and other common psychological problems that respond well to mindfulness based psychotherapy.

online therapist for anxiety disorders — Online therapy for anxiety

I’m often asked how to overcome anxiety, how to deal with anxiety that’s chronic and affecting the quality of my life. These kind of questions are very common indeed. Anxiety is a big problem and affects a huge number of people worldwide. And it’s something that responds really well to mindfulness therapy.

So in mindfulness therapy we don’t just talk about our anxiety, we don’t just talk about our feelings, but rather we focus on looking at how they actually work, looking at how we produce anxiety or depression or any other form of emotional suffering. We look at the internal psychological mechanism, the habits that create anxiety.

We look at the patterns of reactive thinking that feed the anxiety, and particularly we work on changing our relationship to these reactive habitual thoughts so that they don’t control us, so that they cease to dictate how we feel.

So thoughts don’t cause anxiety, that is a common misconception, but they do feed anxiety if the emotion is already present. So habitual reactive thinking is like a fuel that feeds the fire of anxiety. So learning to break the habit of reactive thinking is, of course, very important. It’s like taking the fuel away from the fire.

And if you take the fuel away from any fire, the fire burns itself out, and that same principle applies very much to anxiety and depression and other kinds of psychological emotional conditions. They require a network of habitual reactive thoughts to feed them. And when we can begin to break free from that nexus of reactive thoughts we begin to starve the emotion of its fuel. And that’s a very important part of the healing process and recovery process.

So we spend a lot of time learning how to work with thoughts and we learn how to develop more consciousness around the thoughts. That’s the most important thing because most habitual thoughts are conditioned. They simply operate unconsciously on auto pilot. And we have to break free from this unconscious habit.

So we do that by actually bringing more consciousness to our thoughts. We watch our thoughts. We learn to see them in the mind and learn to see how they get triggered and then we change our relationship to them and we break free from the emotional reaction that they habitually trigger.

So we train with thoughts. That’s the first part of working with our emotions.

The second part is working with the imagery of the emotions. And this is perhaps less familiar to you, but it’s important to understand that all emotions are based on internal psychological imagery.

How you see that emotion in the mind is what dictates its strengths. And we need to look at this imagery and then, of course, see if we can change it. Changing the emotional imagery is the second part of mindfulness therapy for anxiety.

When you put these two together you have a very powerful combination. And most people see dramatic changes in the intensity and the frequency of their anxiety once they start applying the mindfulness methods that I will teach you.

I expect all my clients to see substantial improvements within the first three or four sessions. It does not take a long time to learn how to change the underlying habits that cause your anxiety or depression or OCD, or even for working with recovery from emotional trauma.

The same principles apply. Emotional trauma, PTSD, is characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts and recurrent intrusive imagery, and we need to change both of these aspects to fully recover from emotional trauma or PTSD.

If you would like to learn more about online therapy using mindfulness for overcoming anxiety, then please go to my website. Send me an email if you would like to schedule a session with me.

You will see big changes after the first session, and that will be a good way to evaluate how effective mindfulness therapy can be for overcoming anxiety and other common emotional problems.

So if you’d like to get started please email me.

Best Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety via Skype

I offer Skype counseling for help with anxiety and depression and other emotional problems. The best form of therapy is going to be involved in helping you learn how to manage your emotions more effectively, and we do this by developing a conscious mindful relationship with our emotional habits whether this is anxiety or depression or OCD or anger or the compulsive impulses behind an addiction. Whatever the emotional habits we need to develop very conscious relationship with that part of ourselves. This is how you fundamentally change that habit.

You cannot change a habit by avoiding it; you can’t change a habit by fighting it or resisting it or trying to suppress it. The only way to change emotional habits like anxiety is by actually coming into relationship with that habit, seeing it like an object within yourself. This conscious relationship is what we describe as mindfulness.

It is learning to be present with your emotions, learning to be present with your anxiety or depression or other emotion. When you do this you begin to essentially disengage from that
reactive habit and this allows the habit to change itself.

All emotional habits, all forms of emotional suffering are fundamentally trying to change themselves. They are trying to heal and return to a state of balance. This is a natural property of the mind, the psyche, in the same way that it is a natural property of the body. If the body is injured it begins a process of healing and there’s a natural intelligence in the body that guides that process of healing and the process of healing is a process of returning from a state of imbalance to a state of balance again. That same mechanism, that same intelligence operates within the psyche as well.

It’s only when we become blind to that natural healing within us that emotional problems like anxiety and depression persist. In order for an emotional habit to change we have to develop consciousness. It needs consciousness to change and that’s what we bring to our emotional habits when we meditate on them using mindfulness and I will teach you how to do this.

I will teach you how to form a conscious relationship with your emotions that facilitates their healing and change. It is not difficult and most people will see very dramatic changes within three to four sessions all online therapy via Skype.

So, if you’re interested in Skype counseling and you’d like to learn more about this approach to changing anxiety or depression or any other emotional suffering that we experience, simply contact me – send me an email, ask your questions and then let’s schedule a Skype counseling session. This is the best way to produce real lasting change. So, I look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome! my name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional psychotherapist. I live in Boulder, Colorado, and I offer Online Therapy via Skype. This is a very convenient way of getting help for overcoming anxiety, or depression or any other emotional problems that you may be experiencing.

Now, how to overcome anxiety? This is a challenge for many people. The number of people suffering from anxiety is very large indeed, so you are not alone if you are experiencing anxiety and if you are seeking help to overcome your anxiety.

You can learn a great deal about how to work with anxiety and how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks by visiting my website – the link is below.

The thing that I would like to explain to you today is how we can use mindfulness, Mindfulness Therapy, for overcoming anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy is my specialty, and is what I write about in my book, The Path of Mindfulness Meditation, and it is a very, very effective way of working with anxiety disorders of all kinds.

The major issue that people experience when they are suffering from anxiety is this habitual tendency to become identified with thoughts and emotions. Thoughts and emotions arise due to conditions, it’s just part of our conditioning, and anxiety thoughts and anxiety emotions are no different.

We learn these particular patterns of responding, reacting, to situations whether externally or to stimuli coming internally in the form of thoughts and memories.

Now, just because a thought or memory arise in the mind does not mean that we have to become anxious. that is the result of this process of identification, where we literally become the thought or emotion or memory that arises.

Now, a large part of Mindfulness Therapy is learning how to break this habit of becoming, this habit of reactive identification with thoughts and emotions.

Because, if you can stop the process of becoming identified with the contents of your mind, then you stop feeding the anxiety reactivity itself. And, if you don’t feed the anxiety, it will begin to change, also by itself.

The main problem is reactivity, and mindfulness is perhaps the most skillful therapeutic method there is for learning how to break this cycle of reactivity, by developing awareness and by developing compassion. Compassion, of course, is the greatest healing force for mental suffering.

So, if you would like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer online via Skype, please visit my website and CONTACT ME! Thank you!

How to Control Anxiety through Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype

Mindfulness-based Anxiety Therapy Online via Skype teaches us how to change the way we relate to our emotions, thoughts, beliefs and memories. We learn how to become less reactive and more responsive.

The first step is in simply learning to recognize when a painful thought or emotion has arisen and then learn how to greet that thought with a simple acknowledgement. What we are trying to do is counteract our habitual tendency to identify with the objects of mind.

When you identify with an emotion you essentially become the emotion, the anxiety, and then it begins to proliferate and generate suffering. The spark turns into a forest fire, the suffering associated with excessive and prolonged worry and catastrophic thinking. This can be prevented through this simple practice of mindful recognition.

The second step in Mindfulness-based Online Therapy for Anxiety is to build a relationship with your emotions, with the anxiety, that is based on awareness and friendship.

If you fight your anxiety, or even try to convince yourself that you shouldn’t be feeling anxious, then the anxiety simply gets stronger. Aversion is not the way; Avoidance is not the way.

Mindfulness teaches us HOW to be present with our anxiety in a way that facilitates healing and transformation, and this is through the quality of friendship that you establish with your painful emotions.

How to Stop Worrying

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy and I provide online mindfulness-based psychotherapy for treating anxiety and depression without using drugs.

online therapist for anxiety and panic attacks — **Get help from an online therapist for depression and anxiety**

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for helping people overcome anxiety and depression and obsessive thinking and also for work with addictions and many other common psychological and emotional problems that we all encounter.

So one of the questions I’m often asked is, “How can I overcome chronic worrying?

People tell me that they are absolutely overcome with negative and reactive thoughts that seem to be endless that arise throughout the day in a continuous stream and that caused a great deal of anxiety and suffering.

Reactive thoughts in general, are one of the main things that we need to learn how to manage if we want to maintain good mental well-being and mental health.

So one of the first things to understand is that worrying is not the same as caring for something or someone. This is a false equivalence that is commonly perpetuated, that if you really care for some something or someone then you are going to be worrying.

I am often told by mothers that this is their nature to worry about their children. I would say that that needs to be reframed considerably. You want to care for your children. That is different than worrying about them.

Caring is actually about really addressing the needs of that person or that child or the situation that you are focusing on; that’s caring.

Worrying is actually taking your energy away from caring. If you become lost in a sea of worry thoughts then what happens is that you start to lose perspective. Your perception begins to narrow.

You contract emotionally and psychologically and that makes you less available to care for whatever you’re focusing on. So that’s an important distinction to make.

Our goal in mindfulness training and Mindfulness Therapy is to learn how to be more present so that you can respond with greater compassion and that you can see things clearer. And then you can respond in a more skillful way to the demands of each and every moment that arises, including the challenges, the difficult parts of life.

We want to be present fully with great clarity. Now worrying and other forms of reactivity simply cloud that clarity; it takes us away from being able to respond to our maximum potential to the needs of each situation.

So learning to work with reactive thoughts in general is very worthwhile. And of course the benefits are that it will release a great deal of energy that otherwise goes into worrying or stress and it will result in you be able to be more effective in life.

**Online therapy over Skype for anxiety and depression**

So how do we go about overcoming chronic worry? Well the second really important principle of mindfulness teaching in general here is you must not under any circumstances try to escape your worrying.

If you try to simply take your mind off the worrying and distract yourself with some other kind of activity or thoughts, that action will simply reinforce the underlying anxiety that’s fueling that worry.

The best and well tested and true method for overcoming chronic worrying and chronic habitual reactive thinking and intrusive thinking in general is where you actually turn towards the worry thoughts, but you change your relationship to those thoughts from being identified with them, becoming lost in them, to a relationship based on conscious objective awareness where you become the observer seeing the thoughts.

That is very different than becoming lost in that river of thoughts. That’s the real problem with chronic worrying. We lose our perspective as the observer. We become overwhelmed by the thoughts we fall into that river.

So the way we do this is by learning how to meditate on those thoughts. Now this may surprise you. Many people think that meditation is about trying to get out of the mind, to get away from thoughts, and that might be a very pleasant activity, like taking a vacation.

It is very nice to try and get away from worry thoughts, but unfortunately they will come right back. Just like taking a vacation doesn’t really heal the underlying problems. They will be waiting for you when you return from your vacation.

So taking a vacation from the mind, although it’s pleasant and can provide a temporary relief, is not the solution that we are interested in here. We are interested in fundamentally changing the underlying habitual unconscious reactive process that feeds worrying.

So we do that by developing a conscious relationship with our thoughts, but transforming those thoughts into objects that we can see clearly. We train with those thoughts, we learn to see them more and more as the observer and overcome that habit of reactive identification with them. We learn to develop balance in relationship to our thoughts.

A simple analogy here is learning to cultivate a balance on the bank of a river. If you have good balance then you are not going to fall into that river. But if you have poor balance then the slightest upset and your trip over and fall into the river and suffer. It’s very much like that with thoughts.

The thoughts themselves are not actually the problem. The problem is this reactive identification with those thoughts. That’s the problem.

So by training with the thoughts, by deliberately bringing in those worry thoughts and then training not to fall into the unconscious stream of reactive thoughts, then we are able to train out of that habit of reactive identification.

Another very common method that we explore, and I will teach you during therapy sessions, is about changing the imagery of how you see these thoughts.

So the biggest problem is that we do not see the thoughts clearly as objects. So we can imagine seeing those thoughts and make them into objects. For example, imagining those thoughts being the size of a grain of sand, making them very small will reduce their power considerably.

You can then move those thoughts to create more space, and the more space you have the less power those thoughts will have.

So a very common technique that you can try for yourself is to greet the thoughts that you are meditating on and then move them and place them on the ground.

So you are not trying to get rid of the thoughts; what you’re trying to do is change your relationship to the thoughts. And that way you will be training in how to free yourself from the anxiety which is produced by becoming identified with those thoughts.

So this simple technique works really well for thoughts in general, reactive thoughts. We learn to see them as objects and that overcomes the habitual reactive nature of those thoughts. And then we learn to move the thoughts to a lower level, put them on the ground, make them smaller.

That action will greatly reduce the intensity of the thoughts. And if you train in this way then after a few days or weeks the thoughts begin to learn how to resolve themselves.

You set up a new pathway in the brain where those thoughts are processed in this way. They move to a different position, they become smaller and they lose their emotional charge. So they are learning to resolve themselves.

So if you’d like to learn more about the mindfulness approach to working with chronic worry and stress and anxiety and rumination, in the case of depression, and intrusive thoughts and images in the case of post-traumatic stress disorder, then please contact me.

Go to my website learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach and simply e-mail me. Ask any questions you have about this approach and how to get started with Mindfulness Therapy.

When you feel ready we can schedule a session and you will start to see major changes even after the very first session. Because we do not waste time just talking about our feelings and emotions.

Rather, we work on changing the relationship to our mind, to our thoughts and our emotions and our feelings.

That’s the crucial difference with Mindfulness Therapy. It’s not the same as counseling or talk therapy. It’s about working with the actual structure, the process itself that creates anxiety and depression.

So if you would like to get started with me, please contact me. Thank you.

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist for Anxiety Disorders

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression, OCD and many other common emotional psychological problems. As an online therapist for anxiety I specialize in teaching mindfulness skills for managing the anxiety and the reactive thinking that supports the anxiety.

Mindfulness therapy is extremely effective for helping you break free from those automatic habitual patterns of reactive thinking that fuel anxiety and panic attacks and other anxiety disorders. When we learn how to apply mindfulness we actually learn to sit with our emotions, we learn to meditate on our emotions. So, I will teach you exactly how to do this, how to sit with your anxiety, how to meditate on your anxiety, without becoming overwhelmed by it and without becoming reactive. This is the essential training that’s needed to change the habits of reactive anxiety.

The real problem is that we simply are not conscious of this habit of becoming caught up in reactive thinking we get lost in patterns of worrying, of rumination and excessive thinking, which simply feeds the anxiety. But with mindfulness training you learn how to become an observer. You learn how to sit with the emotions and with the thoughts without becoming lost in them, without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming essentially controlled by your emotions or your thoughts. This process it isn’t quite easy to learn if you get good guidance. You have to learn how to meditate on your emotions. Common mindfulness meditation practices usually involve meditating on the breath and this is a good relaxation exercise, but it will not really help you with your anxiety.

You have to meditate on the cause of your anxiety, which is your relationship to your emotions and your thoughts. If that relationship is unconscious then your emotions and thoughts will govern you, you will be controlled by them. They’ll be little choice.

But once you start to develop more consciousness around the anxiety and the thoughts then you begin to break free from them. You begin to neutralize the effects of emotions and thoughts on you.

If you’d like to learn more about mindfulness therapy and you’d like to schedule a session with me as an Online Therapist for anxiety to help you, then please go to my website and send me an email, and we can schedule Skype therapy session at a time that works for you.
