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

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

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

Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is essential for effective communication and effective psychotherapy.

Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia

One of the most effective ways of overcoming the intense anxiety reactions of agoraphobia is through training in Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia.

Effective strategies for the management of agoraphobia will involve some form of Exposure Therapy, but what make Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy particularly effective is that it involves training with the anxiety reactions before you do your exposure challenges.

Repeated exposures by themselves is not likely to have much beneficial effect, but if you train yourself to neutralize your anxiety reactions before each challenge then the results from each challenge will be very much better.

The method used to neutralize your anxiety reactions is called Focused Mindfulness Meditation, where you deliberately play through the challenge in your mind in order to access the anxiety and then neutralize that anxiety through changing your relationship to the anxiety through the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy that I will be teaching you during our sessions together.

So if you’re looking for online support for agoraphobia then this is a good service for you to consider. Just go to my website and read more about this online therapy service and the mindfulness therapy approach for agoraphobia, and email me with any questions you may have.

So mindfulness therapy is one of the most effective ways of treating anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia. What it does is it teaches you how to break free from this central problem that we call Reactive Identification. This is where we become overwhelmed by thoughts and emotional reactions that get triggered, and it’s very important to break this habit because every time we become overwhelmed and become identified with our thoughts and with our emotions we feed those emotions and they become stronger and this simply intensifies the anxiety.

The approach to overcoming agoraphobia is one of mindfulness-based exposure therapy. It’s fairly straightforward. Basically, you will design a number of challenges that you will prepare for each and every day. And you start with very simple challenges that you can do with very little anxiety. But nevertheless you prepare for that challenge, whether it’s walking outside into the garden or walking around the corner. That’s often a big trigger for many agoraphobics when they can no longer see their house. Whatever the challenge we practice for it beforehand. And that’s really what makes mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia somewhat different than more conventional approaches.

We do this by playing through the challenge in our mind, we imagine ourselves doing the challenge, but we would then watch for any anxiety that gets triggered in the mind. And this is before we do the challenge.

When we notice that anxiety that gets triggered by the thoughts of walking around the garden, or around the block or whatever it might be. Then we focus our conscious awareness, our mindfulness skills on that emotion with two purposes in mind. The first purpose is to establish a relationship with that emotion which is conscious and in which you do not become overwhelmed, is not reactively identify with that emotion, you’re able to be with the fear but not become afraid. So that’s the first essential part of training and preparation before you do any of your challenges.

The second part of preparing for our challenge is to work with the emotion itself and help it heal, help it resolve, help it reduce its intensity, again before you ever do the challenge itself. And there’s a number of ways that we do this, but yet again the most effective first step is to establish a relationship with your fear in which you are not afraid. So you are effectively being with your emotion and not feeding that fear. So you, in that process, develop more and more freedom from that fear. You become stronger by sitting with that fear.

We also work with other factors which contribute to the anxiety such as the imagery of the fear, how you see it and the mind is absolutely central to how the motion works. And typically the fear is very large and very close and that’s what causes that fear to manifest. When we start to investigate this imagery we can change it because we have a conscious relationship with it. When you change the imagery you most definitely change the emotion. So that’s another very important part of mindfulness therapy which is part of the training that you will do yourself before you do your challenge.

I will teach you how to do these two steps involved in preparation for your challenges. And when you practice this in this very strategic focused way and then you will most definitely diminish that anxiety until you feel completely confident and comfortable in doing your first challenge and then moving on to a harder challenge. And in this way we progress until we overcome the agoraphobia altogether.

So if you’d like to learn more about how to do all this simply go to my website and please send me an email and we can schedule some therapy sessions at a time that works for you.

Online Therapist for treating Agoraphobia by Skype

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Online treatment for agoraphobia with panic disorder

My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy and I provides online treatment for agoraphobia and panic disorder using Mindfulness Therapy.

So if you’re looking for an online therapist to help you overcome your agoraphobia and panic disorder, then please go to my website and learn more about my online therapy service and then contact me with any questions you may have about Mindfulness Therapy and online therapy and how to get started with this approach to help you overcome your agoraphobia.

The Mindfulness Therapy approach is very effective. It is a combination of exposure therapy, which is of course very important, whereby you construct a series of challenges that are manageable that you repeat on a daily basis.

But then it combines this with mindfulness training to work on the anxiety that you may anticipate or that may have occurred during one of these exposure challenges. And that’s what makes the mindfulness approach so effective. It is very strategic and it helps you actually learn how to process the specific anxiety that has triggered in your challenges, whether that might be just walking outside of your front door, or going to a mall, or some other place, whatever it might be.

You know what triggers anxiety and panic attacks. So it’s absolutely essential that you don’t avoid these triggers. That is the biggest trap that causes us to become trapped in a negative cycle of anxiety. You must not avoid your triggers, but by the same reasoning, you must not simply re traumatize yourself by exposure to these triggers.

You have to prepare for them very strategically and rehearse ahead of time using mindfulness techniques so that you are prepared when you are exposed to those particular triggers.

When you take this approach you will see benefits very quickly and indeed most of my clients who I’ve worked with over the years see dramatic changes within the first few sessions once you start applying the mindfulness methods that I will be teaching you.

So if you’d like to learn more about how to overcome agoraphobia and panic disorder then please reach out to me by email and let’s get started.
