Skype Counseling Online for Anxiety and Depression
I offer counseling via Skype to help you learn better ways of managing your emotions using the well-tested methods of Mindfulness Therapy, which works extremely well for anxiety and depression and also works well online.
The main consideration for online counseling is that you can see each other as well as speak to each other. When this is the case then counseling over Skype is no different than counseling in-person for the vast majority of people seeking help.
Email me if you would like to schedule Online Mindfulness Therapy with me.
During these Skype sessions I will teach you mindfulness-based methods for facilitating recovery from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, depression, and for help with and other forms of emotional suffering, by applying the very practical teachings of Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy.
This approach is extremely effective and most clients see tangible changes after the first few Skype sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy is highly effective for managing anxiety and depression without the need for drugs. It is better to treat the psychological cause of your psychological suffering as opposed to just trying to manage symptoms.
The principle healing factors developed during Mindfulness Meditation Therapy are Consciousness, which is essential for neutralizing the psychological habits that cause psychological suffering, and Inner Compassion, which is what promotes healing and resolution of emotional pain.

Standard talk therapy can be useful, but often common talk therapy does not look at the the underlying process that is the real cause of your anxiety and depression.
The same can be said for medications – the anti-anxiety medication may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications can not transform the underlying psychological process that produces your emotional pain.
The style of psychotherapy that I teach online is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which is very effective for handling anxiety as well as for treating depression or other psychological difficulties caused by habitual negative thinking. Most people notice dramatic changes after 3-4 sessions of Skype Therapy.
Skype Counseling Therapy Service
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional online therapist and I offer online Skype counseling. This is a very effective way of working with difficult emotions without having to resort to traditional forms of psychotherapy or medications. The Skype counseling that I offer is primarily designed to teach you how to work with difficult emotions, how to apply mindfulness techniques that I’ve developed over the years for reducing and eliminating chronic anxiety, depression and other emotional problems.
The most important thing to learn is how to break the habit of identification with reactive thoughts and emotions. Typically, an emotion gets triggered by an event or something that someone says, or by thoughts internally, and then we become completely identified with that reaction. We become overwhelmed by it, we become consumed by it and we simply proliferates more reactivity which in turn feeds the habitual emotion. So the key to making successful changes to anxiety and depression is to learn how to break this cycle of reactive identification so that we no longer feed the underlying anxiety or depression. This is what I will teach you during the online Skype counseling sessions.
Most people see quite significant improvements after as few as three to four sessions. And this is because the approach using mindfulness is very direct, it’s very practical and it’s something that you can practice yourself at home between sessions. So after three or four weeks you will have developed a tremendous experience and sophistication in this mindfulness process for preventing reactive identification and the results will be a very significant reduction in the intensity of anxiety or panic attacks or depression as well as reducing the frequency of these emotional reactions.

Skype Counseling Therapy for Anxiety & Depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I am an online psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy, which I teach via Skype.
So if you’re looking for Skype Therapy for help with anxiety or depression or other emotional problems that are affecting the quality of your life, then I invite you to reach out to me. Go to my contact page and send me an email. Tell me more about yourself, what you are struggling with, what you’ve tried so far. And any questions you may have about Skype Therapy.
So Skype Therapy is a really good choice for getting quality help, for learning how to work with the underlying cause of your anxiety and depression. So this is different than a treatment-based approach such as medications, which may relieve symptoms for a while but do nothing to change the underlying process. And that’s the focus of my approach, which is called Mindfulness Therapy.
This is a system of psychotherapy that I have developed over the years and find to be very effective for working with anxiety and depression. People like Skype Therapy because it’s so convenient and they like mindfulness based Skype Therapy because it focuses on changing the underlying causes of your anxiety and depression.
So the primary underlying cause that we need to address is habitual reactive thinking. This is where we become blindly identified to ways of thinking, negative thinking, that simply reinforces and feeds the anxiety and depression very much like fuel feeds a fire.
So we need to see these reactive thoughts very clearly. We need to identify them and we need to fundamentally change our relationship to them so that they no longer operate at an habitual level. We have to take them into consciousness, which is the whole focus of Mindfulness Therapy.
We make those thoughts more conscious and we learn to see them as an observer instead of becoming identified with them. This is really the key to the effectiveness of Mindfulness Therapy, and you don’t need to be in the same room with a therapist to learn these mindfulness strategies. But you do need to see each other. So that’s why Skype Therapy is recommended over other forms of online therapy. If you can see each other, then the effectiveness of communication and your therapy sessions will be exactly the same as meeting in person.
So if you’re interested in learning about how to work with your emotions using mindfulness and how to break free from the habit of reactive thinking, then simply contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session by Skype.
I work with people throughout North America and also Western Europe and as far away as Australia and Japan. All you need is a good Internet connection.
So in the first few sessions together, I will teach you how to work with your reactive thinking. And the way we do that is by actually meditating on our mind, on our thoughts, on our emotions and look to see these blind habitual processes at work.
Now a fundamental principle here is that the more conscious you make those habits, the less powerful those reactive habits will be. So this is how we break free from the habitual reactive thinking that feeds your and anxiety and depression, by developing more and more mindful consciousness of those patterns.
You learn to see them objectively, very much like being in the audience watching a movie. You know that you are in the audience as your observer watching the movie. You are not part of that movie, you are separate from the movie. So this is an analogy for mindfulness training, how to stay in the audience as the observer and not become swept up into the movie of your mind, all of that blind habitual reactivity that feeds anxiety and depression.
So reactivity has this effect of inhibiting healing, it basically feeds the fire. But when you break free from that reactivity through mindfulness training, then you stop feeding the fire of anxiety or depression, and then you set up the right conditions whereby that emotional suffering begins to heal itself, which it will do if you stop feeding it with the habitual reactivity.
So this is a very important principle in all mindfulness training, and it’s what we put into practice here during our Mindfulness Therapy sessions together.
It’s very effective. Most people see tremendous improvements after the first three or four sessions. The key is learning how to apply mindfulness so you can do this work at home between sessions. That is what makes the difference.
And so, if you’d like to learn more, simply reach out to me and schedule a Skype Therapy session. Thank you.

Skype Counseling
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in Skype counseling for the treatment of anxiety and also for help with depression and addictions.
So, Skype counseling is a very convenient way of getting the help that you might be looking for. It means that you can have your sessions from home. You don’t have to drive to an office to see a therapist. And there are many other factors that make it very convenient.
It’s also very useful if you don’t have a local psychotherapist that you want to work with in your area. Some people don’t have access to the right kind of a counselor or therapist, especially if you’re living in a rural area or if you’re living abroad, it might be very difficult to find someone to help you.
Skype counseling or counseling using Skype is very effective, a very good choice. Skype counseling is just as effective as meeting in person because you can see each other. This is the main advantage, really, of using Skype or other video platform that allows you to see each other.
When you can see each other then the communication becomes very much more effective, and really there’s no difference.
From my experience it’s often better than traditional meetings in person with a therapist because you feel more comfortable in your own environment. You feel more in control. It helps you avoid feeling like a victim of your anxiety or depression or addiction, when you can feel more in control of the process itself.
So Skype counseling gives you that sense of control. You choose to initiate it. You’re doing it from your own home. You’re doing it on your own terms at a time that works for you, so it gives you a greater sense of control and that’s very important.
It’s very important indeed for any kind of successful psychotherapy that you feel in control and that you come away from sessions with a clear sense of practical techniques and methods that you can apply yourself to help overcome your anxiety or depression or addiction.
You do not want to become dependent on a therapist or or a treatment protocol or medications or any other external service like that. You need to develop confidence in your own ability to heal your emotional suffering. And that’s what I focus on during my sessions.
I teach Mindfulness Therapy which is a very practical and gives you lots and lots of ways of working with your emotions at a very deep an experiential level to help those emotions heal.
It teaches you how to develop a totally different side of yourself which we call your True Self which is not the content of mind, it’s not the emotions or the thoughts or the other content, that’s where the suffering lies.
But there is this other side to you that we developed during Mindfulness Therapy which is really the observer it is the one who observes those emotions those thoughts or those traumatic memories or those compulsive impulses in the case of an addiction. So developing that sense of being the observer is a central part of all good psychotherapy and that’s one of the prime focuses of mindfulness based Skype counseling.
So if you would like to learn more about how to apply mindfulness for working with your emotional suffering, whatever it might be, then please go to my website, learn more about Skype counseling and mindfulness therapy in general and then email me and we can schedule a Skype counseling session at the time that works for you.
The approach is very practical indeed, it’s very empowering and it enables you. It gives you the tools you need to facilitate your own healing, and because of this, because of this approach, most people see dramatic changes within the first three or four sessions. It’s quite a different approach than conventional counseling or talk therapy.
We learn to approach our mind in a very practical way and actually get to the heart of the problem and learn how to change that underlying process that creates anxiety or depression.
So if you’d like to learn more, please go to my website and send me an email to schedule a counseling session via Skype. Thank you.

Skype Counseling using mindfulness – Overcome Anxiety & Depression without medications
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional online therapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy.
I offer Skype counseling using mindfulness to overcome anxiety and depression without medications. Medications may provide a temporary relief from symptoms of anxiety or depression but medications do nothing to change the underlying cause of your anxiety and depression and that is the focus of mindfulness-based Skype counseling.
It is really to teach you how to use mindfulness to work with your anxiety or depression or other forms of emotional suffering, and to use mindfulness in a way that brings about healing. That is the primary focus of mindfulness-based counseling – to not just learn to understand your anxiety or depression, is not just to see the negative beliefs that are fueling your anxiety or depression – but it’s learning how to heal the emotions themselves so that they don’t continue to fuel the negative beliefs and behaviors and so on and thought patterns that continue to fuel anxiety and depression.
So we do this by actually learning how to meditate on our emotions. We learn to place the emotion in our conscious awareness and hold them there but without becoming identified with those emotions.
When we can do this then we can break free from the pattern of habitual thinking that fuels the anxiety or depression. And this is a chief property of Mindfulness Therapy and mindfulness-based training, in general, learning how to be with the mind without becoming identified with the contents and without becoming reactive.
When you become reactive you simply feeds emotional suffering. When you can develop what is called equanimity in relationship to your emotions, then you set up the right conditions that promotes natural healing of anxiety and depression. So that’s the first stage of mindfulness training and mindfulness-based counseling, is learning how to establish a balanced relationship with your emotions and with your thoughts as well.
The second stage of mindfulness training that we cover in the mindfulness counseling sessions that I teach, is how to actually facilitate the healing of those emotions directly, and the primary ingredient, I would say, that really catalyzes healing is friendliness, is actually developing a friendly and compassionate relationship with your emotions.
This is very effective, in deed, and counters the other great cause of our suffering, which is avoidance. The most typical thing that we do is run away from our painful emotions. But that has the unfortunate effect of actually strengthening our anxiety or depression.
So cultivating friendliness or equanimity toward our emotions is absolutely vital and is what is necessary for promoting healing. Equanimity simply means freedom from conditioned reactivity. In this case freedom from reactivity to the emotional reactions of anxiety or depression. Equanimity is one of the chief qualities of mindfulness, the others are loving kindness, compassion and appreciation.
It works extremely well. Most of the clients that I work with have tried medications and many other forms of therapy, usually with rather dismal results. The chief problem that I find is that in none of these cases have these people been actually encouraged to develop a friendly relationship with their mind.
It’s all about trying to control the mind and trying to fix it. Trying to change your belief structures, and so on, and that just is not going to be effective. You must establish a kind and compassionate relationship with your emotions if you hope for them to change and heal. The nature of this mindfulness-based relationship is that it is non-reactive which means that you are not feeding the emotional suffering. Any form of reactivity has the effect of feeding the underlying emotions and also prevents them from healing so it is very important to establish a non-reactive relationship with your emotions.
So, if you would like to learn more about mindfulness-based counseling, do please go to my website and if you’d like to schedule a Skype counseling session with me, then please send me an email and we can arrange for a time that works for you.
I see people throughout North America and worldwide. All that’s required is that you have internet access, a working version of Skype, and PayPal to make secure online payments after each of your sessions with me.

Skype Counseling for Overcoming Anxiety & Depression

Counseling via Skype is a very effective way of getting one-on-one help from a professional psychotherapist like myself, from the comfort of your own home. This is very important – that you feel comfortable and are really taking charge of your recovery process. And that’s where online therapy is so effective because it’s much less intimidating for you the client. It’s really focused on teaching you skills for managing your emotions better.
I’ve been practicing Skype Counseling now for over 10 years and I can honestly say that my clients generally prefer this to traditional office-based psychotherapy. They certainly enjoy the convenience of Skype counseling, and they find it much more effective because it’s more convenient and more comfortable.
Many of my clients suffer from anxiety, and again, that makes the online format of Skype counseling very attractive because it’s just much less intimidating.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy, and this works very well through Skype. This is a process that’s based on teaching you techniques and methods and practical ways of managing your emotions using the skills of mindfulness. It’s a very effective approach, indeed, for anxiety and depression.

Learn how to break free from anxiety and depression
The mindfulness-based Skype counseling service that I offer is immensely effective for all forms of anxiety disorders caused by reactive thinking. The aim of this approach is to stop becoming overwhelmed by your anxiety reactions and to create the right conditions that allow emotional healing to occur. Most of my clients see results after 3-4 weeks of practicing the mindfulness methods that I teach.
You have to change how you relate to your emotions and thoughts. It is so easy to get lost in habitual patterns of avoidance and aversion toward unpleasant emotions and negative thoughts. But if you do this you will simply feed the underlying emotional pain.
Reactivity of any kind has the direct effect of inhibiting change and healing. Healing is only possible when you can establish a stable relationship with your thoughts and emotions that is based on conscious awareness, not avoidance, and an openness and friendliness, not aversion. This is the training that you will receive during Mindfulness Therapy.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in online therapy via Skype. Skype counseling is a very good choice if you’re struggling with anxiety or depression. It means that you can get professional help in managing your anxiety or depression or addiction without having to leave home, so you can take more control over your healing process.
So I offer Skype counseling worldwide and all you need for Skype-based therapy is a good internet connection and a quiet place to have your Skype counseling sessions and you also need, of course, Skype and PayPal to make payments for your sessions.
So Skype counseling works particularly well for anxiety, and during these sessions I will teach you mindfulness-based methods for working with anxiety.
The most important thing that you need to change is the way that you relate to your anxiety and to the emotional reactive thoughts that spring out of that anxiety. The big problem that most people face is that they become lost in patterns of reactive thinking, they react to the anxiety with more anxiety producing thoughts and this simply feeds the anxiety rather like feeding a fire with fuel.
You have to learn to change your relationship to your anxiety so that you don’t react. You need to become the observer, to be able to sit with your anxiety without reacting to it, without feeding the fire. This is what mindfulness therapy focuses on in great detail and I will guide you and teach you how to do this, how to become less reactive to your emotions and to your thoughts as well. This is essential.
You have to stop reacting in order to create the right internal conditions that lead to healing and resolution of those emotions.
If you can learn to sit with your anxiety with a non-reactive mind that is also compassionate and consciously engaged with that anxiety, but without becoming overwhelmed by it then you are creating the right conditions and that anxiety will respond and change and heal through that relationship that you’ve built with it.
We do this by learning how to meditate on our anxiety. Now most people think that meditation is a way of escaping anxiety, it’s a way of creating a blissful state of mind and distracting ourselves from our emotions. But this is a mistake.
It’s absolutely clear from working with people that the biggest problem that prevents them getting over anxiety are patterns of avoidance and aversion. Trying to get away from the anxiety simply makes it stronger. Fighting the anxiety through resistance or becoming fearful of it simply feeds the anxiety.
The conditions which leads to change are those in which you develop more conscious awareness and more friendliness towards your anxiety. This may seem counter-intuitive but it is a fact. The more friendly you become towards that part of yourself that’s in pain, the more that part will heal. It takes some practice and it takes some guidance, and that’s what I offer during these counseling sessions for anxiety.
I’ve worked with people who have suffered from anxiety for years and I’ve also worked with a great number of people who have tried treatment-based approaches with medications or other therapeutic procedures and really not benefited much from those at all. You have to really change this underlying process that causes your anxiety which is all to do with how you relate to your emotions and to your thoughts. Medications won’t change that relationship. They still leave you vulnerable to becoming overwhelmed by anxiety.

Skype counseling for controlling anxiety and depression through mindfulness
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I specialize in mindfulness-based Skype counseling. If you’re interested in working with anxiety or depression and learning how to stop becoming overwhelmed by anxiety or depression or anxiety-based thinking or rumination or any other form of reactive thinking, then you’ll find that the mindfulness-based approach is perhaps one of the best.
Mindfulness therapy via Skype is very practical, it is very focused, and it teaches you skills for working with reactive thoughts and with emotions. It will teach you how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and thoughts so that you do not become so easily identified with them. This is the most important step that you will learn during the Skype counseling sessions – how to essentially sit with your thoughts or emotions without becoming identified with them, without becoming lost in your thoughts or emotions, and in this way we can train ourselves out of the habit of reactive thinking.
It’s doesn’t take very long. Usually most people can see quite significant changes after three to four Skype counseling sessions, sometimes longer. But, it’s very very effective because it’s very focused on changing the actual cause of your anxiety or depression. Other forms of psychotherapy don’t necessarily focus on changing this underlying cause. Talk therapy may relieve symptoms.
Medications may relieve symptoms, but they do nothing to change this underlying problem with habitual reactive thinking. You have to change that if you want to break free from anxiety or depression.

Skype Counseling for Freeing Yourself from Chronic Anxiety and Depression
If you’re interested in Skype counseling for overcoming anxiety or depression or any other emotional problems that you may be experiencing then please go to my website and learn more about the online Mindfulness Therapy service that I offer via Skype.
This service is available worldwide. I’m based in the USA, but I see lots of clients in the UK and Europe and as far away as Australia.
Most of the clients who come to me have already tried conventional talk therapy and generally find that it doesn’t really seem to change the underlying problems. The anxiety or depression persists in spite of sometimes years of talking about your emotions.
So Mindfulness Therapy is very different it doesn’t focus on just talking about your emotions but rather on investigating the internal process that causes your anxiety and depression. For example, we focus a lot on examining patterns of reactive thinking or rumination, which is one of the major processes that feeds anxiety or depression. We learn how to work with internal thoughts and how to change those habitual patterns of reactive thinking using mindfulness, and it is a very effective strategy.
We also work on changing the internal imagery that feeds your emotions. And this is quite an interesting area and we understand from closer examination of our emotions that emotions are basically formed around imagery. How you see the emotion of thoughts and the mind is what really determines the intensity of the emotions. So working with internal imagery is very important indeed, and when you change this internal imagery then you effectively change the emotion. And we focus on doing this by actually meditating on our emotions.
This is the key to Mindfulness Therapy that I have developed over the years. We learn to meditate on our emotions themselves. We learn to see the imagery of the emotion, we learn to break free from the habit of reactive identification with the emotions, whereby we simply become overwhelmed by them.
We learn, instead, to develop a stable and non-reactive relationship with our emotions. When you do this then you begin to see the imagery and then you can begin to change that imagery, as I say.
So Mindfulness Therapy is a very practical way of working with the exact process that is causing your anxiety or depression or addiction or OCD or any other form of emotional suffering.
If you’d like to learn more about how to treat anxiety or depression without using medications, then I invite you to go to my website and reach out to me via email.

Skype Counseling – Talk to a therapist online
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy and I offer Skype counseling for anxiety and depression and addiction and other common psychological problems that don’t require medical treatment but that can benefit from learning practical strategies for healing the underlying emotions and also for neutralizing those patterns of reactive thinking that feed your emotional suffering.
So if you’d like to talk to a therapist online for Skype counseling using mindfulness therapy, which is what I offer online then please simply go to my website and then email me and we can schedule a counseling session at a time that works for you. Most people really enjoy the mindfulness therapy approach that I offer during the counseling sessions. It’s very practical very focused and is really quite different than conventional counseling or talk therapy where you are simply just talking about your emotions.
In the case of mindfulness therapy we don’t talk so much about our emotions. We spend more time looking at them, that is actually focusing consciously on the structure of your anxiety or depression. What makes it work? What are those reactive thoughts that feeds the anxiety or depression or addiction? What is actually going on? How can we change these habits that create your anxiety and depression? And that’s an important factor right there.
So in mindfulness psychology we understand anxiety, depression and other common emotional problems like that as being habits. They are not strictly a mental illness. They should not be classified in that way and medical treatment, although sometimes can be useful for reducing symptoms, is not an appropriate strategy for healing anxiety and depression. Medications may reduce symptoms for a while but they will do nothing to change the underlying habits that create your anxiety and depression. And that’s what we focus on in mindfulness therapy.
We look at the patterns of reactive thinking that feeds your anxiety or depression. We then look at breaking free from those habits by establishing much more consciousness in relationship to those thoughts.
You see, any habit requires that you are unconscious, they operate unconsciously on autopilot, basically. And so the first teaching that we really develop in mindfulness therapy is learning how to bring consciousness back into the mind to see these thoughts clearly.
And the more you can see clearly these reactive thoughts the more that you can exercise some choice. You can begin to break free from those automatic reactive thoughts. You can see them and you can take action. The first action is to recognize clearly what is happening and then choose not to indulge those reactive thoughts and not allow them to feed.
So just the action of saying “no” to the thought becomes possible when you develop more consciousness, when you develop more mindfulness. So that’s a very important part of the training, is just learning to see what’s actually going on in the mind. Medications will not do that.
The second factor is to really examine how the emotion works, the emotion that is causing those thoughts.
And that’s a very important principle to understand. Thoughts do not create anxiety. They may feed the anxiety but they do not cause it. The same with depression. Thoughts do not create depression. They feed the depression. The depression or anxiety are already there as emotional habits.
One analogy we find useful here is to think of a fire. So wood or coal does not cause fire but it will feed a fire as fuel and the same with thoughts. So thoughts provide the fuel for our emotional pain.
But the underlying emotional pain itself has a deeper root and we have to work on changing the way that we relate to the emotions directly.
Again using mindfulness we have to develop a very positive conscious and compassionate relationship with our emotional pain. You have to learn to make friends with your anxiety. You have to learn to be able to sit with your depression without becoming consumed by it. You have to learn to face your fear without becoming identified with fear, without becoming afraid.
And this is a training process. First it’s difficult, but with very focused training and practice you will quite rapidly get to that place where you can sit with fear, with anxiety, with depression, with anger, sadness, with grief, whatever it might be, without becoming identified with it, without becoming consumed by those emotional habits.
That is the first essential part for changing the emotion itself, helping it heal. You have to be able to stay conscious with it and not react. And then you start to explore how to help that emotion heal. And there’s a variety of different approaches we take to do that.
Establishing that relationship based on consciousness and friendliness, i.e. mindfulness, is a huge factor in promoting healing. As it would be between people. If you can be truly conscious and truly friendly and accepting towards a friend that might be going through a hard time, that relationship will help them heal. So we have to learn to do this internally with our own emotions and that’s a big part of mindfulness training.
But there are lots of other things we do during these Skype counseling sessions. But those are two of the key things: working with reactive thoughts and then working on establishing the right quality of relationship with your emotions that will help them heal.
If you would like to learn more about Skype counseling, simply go to my website and if you have any questions about whether mindfulness based Skype counseling is the right approach for you and your particular needs, then please contact me and ask your questions.
This service is available worldwide. All you need is Skype and PayPal to make your secure online payments for sessions and then we can schedule a Skype counseling session at a time that was for the both of us.
So if you’re interested in really getting on top of your anxiety or depression or addiction or any other form of emotional suffering without using drugs or other medical treatments that really do not address the root cause of your emotional suffering, then please reach out to me and it’s schedule a session.

If you’re interested in Skype counseling then chances are you have already tried conventional talk therapy or counseling and you may have already tried medications and not gotten the results that you are expecting or hoping for.
People who are interested in counseling via Skype are generally looking for alternatives to the conventional approach to psychotherapy. And that’s really the core of my service. I offer mindfulness-based therapy as an alternative to conventional cognitive analytical type psychotherapy.
The mindfulness approach is quite different in many ways. It is very, very practical, for one thing, and it’s also really focused on helping you manage your emotions and managing your thoughts. The biggest problem that really lies behind anxiety and depression and other emotional problems is that we become totally lost in the mind.
We become identified with thoughts, we become identified with our emotions, we become identified with our memories, and we become identified with our beliefs. This leads to a kind of conditioned reactive type state in which we find ourselves victims of habitual conditioned reactions.
So when a thought arises in the minds it triggers anxiety and that anxiety triggers more thoughts or rumination which in turn feeds the anxiety leading to more thoughts which feeds the anxiety even more, and in this way we get stuck, essentially, in a recurring cycle of habitual reactive thinking.
Mindfulness is really one of the best ways of breaking out of this cycle of habitual reactive thinking. We learn how to essentially change our relationship to our thoughts in our mind.
We learn to sit with our thoughts, to sit with our emotions, and cultivate what is called “independence”, that is we are able to sit and watch a thought, but without becoming identified with it and without feeding the reactivity.
The same with emotions: we learn to focus mindfulness on our emotions so that we can develop independence and balance in relationship to those emotions, and in this way we stop feeding the reactive thinking that feeds that emotion. So, through mindfulness therapy training you will learn exactly how to do this.
And from my experience this is perhaps the most effective way of dealing with anxiety and depression and the compulsive impulses behind an addiction or OCD or most common psychological problems that cause emotional suffering.
So, if you’d like to learn more about Skype counseling and how it can help you then please go to my website and then send me an e-mail.

Skype Counseling Therapy Service
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional online therapist and I offer online Skype counseling. This is a very effective way of working with difficult emotions without having to resort to traditional forms of psychotherapy or medications.
The Skype counseling that I offer is primarily designed to teach you how to work with difficult emotions, how to apply mindfulness techniques that I’ve developed over the years for reducing and eliminating chronic anxiety, depression and other emotional problems.
The most important thing to learn is how to break the habit of identification with reactive thoughts and emotions. Typically, an emotion gets triggered by an event or something that someone says, or by thoughts internally, and then we become completely identified with that reaction.
We become overwhelmed by it, we become consumed by it and we simply proliferates more reactivity which in turn feeds the habitual emotion. So the key to making successful changes to anxiety and depression is to learn how to break this cycle of reactive identification so that we no longer feed the underlying anxiety or depression. This is what I will teach you during the online Skype counseling sessions.
Most people see quite significant improvements after as few as three to four sessions. And this is because the approach using mindfulness is very direct, it’s very practical and it’s something that you can practice yourself at home between sessions.
So after three or four weeks you will have developed a tremendous experience and sophistication in this mindfulness process for preventing reactive identification and the results will be a very significant reduction in the intensity of anxiety or panic attacks or depression as well as reducing the frequency of these emotional reactions.
If you’d like to learn more about online Skype counseling therapy do please go to my Web site and then send me an e-mail to schedule a Skype counseling session. Thank you.
Online Skype Counseling for Anxiety and Depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I provide Skype counseling online for anxiety and depression and other common psychological problems that don’t require medical treatment but really require you learning better ways of working with your emotions.
As an online therapist I have been specializing in offering mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression, and this approach does not use medications. It does not recommend medications but rather focuses on teaching you practical and effective mindfulness-based methods for working with your emotions more effectively.
The biggest problem that I come across is what I call the problem of “reactive identification.” This is where we simply become overwhelmed by emotional and cognitive reactions. Certain triggers may happen or it could be external, something happens externally, someone says something to us externally, or it could be internal in the form of repeating thoughts and beliefs and memories that we have that seem to come back over and over again. And these are simply triggers. Whether they are external or internal they are triggers that trigger these emotional habits, if you like, that create anxiety and depression. And it’s an automatic process, it’s a process that’s become habitual and operates without consciousness.
So the most important way to overcome emotional reactive habits like this is simply to develop more consciousness around them and that’s the first basis, if you like, of mindfulness therapy. If you really want to break free from anxiety and depression and also addiction, and if you really want to heal from post-traumatic stress or from difficult traumatic memories from childhood, then you have to change the way that you relate to these events, these triggers, so that they do not trigger more emotional reactivity that feeds your anxiety or depression.
So we do this by developing mindfulness skills, including meditation, where we actually meditate on our emotions in order to build a non-reactive relationship with them. When you can sit with your anxiety you will create the right conditions in which you will begin to heal rather than feeding it with more unconscious habitual reactivity. If you can sit with your depression it will heal. If you sit with emotional trauma it will heal. The key here is to learn how to sit with emotions and not react.
The same goes for the reactive thoughts themselves that feed your anxiety or depression or trauma. If they operate habitually out of consciousness they will simply feed the underlying emotional suffering in the same way that fuel feeds fire. It simply feeds that underlying emotion and that prevents it from healing.
So when we have reactive thoughts or intrusive thoughts we need to learn how to hold them in mindful consciousness without becoming identified with them either.
So we again counter this habit of reactive identification with thoughts as well as with emotions. We learn to sit with our thoughts and not become identified with them, not to allow them to proliferate more reactive thoughts, and this is central to recovery.
When you can sit with the content of mind in whatever form that is, whether it’s thoughts, emotions, perceptions, beliefs, or memories. When you can sit with these contents of mind without becoming reactive, then you stop feeding the emotional reactions underneath and you promote healing.
This is a very important principle. Probably the most important principle you will ever learn in any kind of psychotherapy that you follow. It’s much more important than trying to understand your emotional reactivity. It’s much more important than just trying to manage and tolerate emotional reactivity. It’s a process in which we are actually promoting the healing of your emotional suffering that we’re interested in. And that’s what I will teach you during long mindfulness therapy sessions.
So that is the style of counseling that I provide via Skype. It’s a mindfulness-based counseling that will teach you how to work with your emotions more effectively.
Is Skype counseling as effective as meeting a therapist in person? Yes it is. As long as you use Skype or similar video platform so you can see each other. That’s the key thing here. You must be able to see each other so that you can communicate effectively. And this is very important.
Skype counseling can actually be more effective than conventional office based counseling sessions because you can direct the process yourself from the comfort of your own home and that can greatly increase the effectiveness of counseling or psychotherapy. You feel more at ease, you feel more comfortable, you feel more in charge and that’s what we need because good psychotherapy and counseling is about giving you the tools to heal your emotional suffering.
It’s not about treatment. Treatment will not give you the tools to manage your mind more effectively. That’s why I do not advocate medications not as a long-term strategy. Perhaps for a short term to reduce symptoms, medications can be useful, they have their place. But medications can never help you change the underlying psychological habits that create anxiety or depression. This has to be done psychologically by actually working on those habits directly.
So, Mindfulness Therapy is a very good way of doing this.
If you’d like to learn more about Skype counseling using mindfulness, do please go to my website and learn more about the counseling services that I offer and contact me. Simply email me. You can ask any questions that you might have about whether Skype counseling and the mindfulness therapy approach is right for you. I’ll be happy to explain to you how mindfulness therapy can help you overcome your anxiety or depression or addiction.
The other thing that I encourage people to do is to really monitor how well you progress during Skype counseling sessions. So it is not meant to be open ended. You should see changes within three to four sessions, not three to four months or years. That style of counseling is not something I encourage.
The sessions are not just there for you to talk about your emotional problems. Again that may provide a temporary relief but it will not help you change the underlying habits that are causing your anxiety or depression.
So during the sessions that I offer we focus very directly on the actual underlying habits that are working to create your anxiety or depression or compulsion in the case of addiction.
Most people do see quite dramatic changes when they start applying the mindfulness techniques that I teach. This style of counseling is very, very effective for anxiety and, as I say, people generally start seeing huge improvements after the first three or four sessions, and even in the first session where I will teach you some of the practical methods that you can practice yourself between sessions. Even after that first session you can expect to see some significant improvements.
So if you’d like to learn more about online Skype counseling using mindfulness, then please contact me and let’s set up a session. Thank you.
Mindfulness-based Skype counseling has proven itself to be immensely effective for helping you overcome anxiety disorders such as GAD and SAD and Panic Attacks. Most people see significant changes after the first few sessions with me, once you start applying the mindfulness methods that I will teach you.

Skype Counseling for Anxiety and Depression
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado. I offer a Skype counseling service to help you work with difficult emotions, including anxiety, depression, addictions or any other form of emotional problems that you may be experiencing.
There are many Skype counseling services available now using Skype, which has the benefit that it allows you to see your therapist and speak to your therapist in real-time. So a Skype counseling session is in effect just as good as being in person. As long as you can see each other and talk to each other, then you can exchange the quality of communication needed for successful psychotherapy.
Skype counseling services are now widely available and convenience is another very important feature here. It just makes psychotherapy much more accessible. It makes it possible to get the quality of psychological help you would like if you are living abroad for example.
Many of my clients live in the Middle East and Western Europe. I see many people in the United Kingdom, where of course I originate. So, it is really about making psychotherapy accessible wherever you are.
I also have many clients in New York as well because people struggle with commuting to see a psychotherapist makes it very difficult indeed. And the expense of psychotherapists on the east coast is well known. the quality of service is very good but often out of the reach of many of us.
If you would like to learn more about my Skype counseling services do please go to my online therapy website and then learn more about Skype counseling and the style of therapy which I offer, which is called Mindfulness Therapy, and which is very effective for anxiety and depression.
And, when you feel ready do CONTACT ME. Simply email me and we can schedule a trial Skype therapy session.
Mindfulness Therapy is just a very good choice indeed for working with anxiety because it focuses on teaching you practical methods for overcoming anxiety, depression and other reactive emotional habits.
It is really important that you work at the underlying level, the process itself that causes your emotional suffering. Talking about your emotional problems brings some temporary relief but it is not going to change these underlying emotional habits. Similarly, taking medications may reduce symptoms for a while but it is not going to change that emotional habit.
You have to work directly at that level in order to produce lasting change, and that is what Mindfulness Therapy does.
So, if you would like to learn about the online therapy service that I offer, read more of the pages on my website and then CONTACT ME. Thank you!
Email me to learn more about Skype counseling and to book a Skype therapy session with me. You will derive great benefit from these therapy sessions over Skype.
This online psychotherapy service is available world-wide, including the USA, UK and Europe. Contact me to learn more about how to start therapy sessions via Skype.
My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional registered psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado, USA. I offer online help via Skype.
Have you ever considered speaking to a therapist over the internet? It’s a very good and very popular choice these days. Many people are choosing this as an alternative to a meeting with a therapist in an office. One reason is that it is much more convenient, of course, since you don’t have to drive to the counselor’s office.
You don’t have to waste all that time spent driving or waiting. You can call from home, or from your office, or wherever you are, even from your hotel room if you’re traveling abroad. Talking to a therapist online is definitely a better choice for most people.
With the advent of Skype it’s now possible to talk to a therapist online and see him or her at the same time. The experience is just the same as if you were meeting in person. I’ve been providing online counseling for many years now.
As far as I’m concerned there is no real difference between online or in-person therapy, especially if you’re teaching some form of cognitive therapy or mindfulness therapy, as I teach, where the emphasis is on teaching skills for working with difficult emotions. This can be transmitted online through Skype just as well as it can person-to-person in the office.

I see people throughout North America and Western Europe, as far away as South Korea. Generally people who come to me have already tried conventional talk therapy with little benefits and often are trying to get off prescription medications, which also have not usually helped very much.
This is not surprising to me because prescription medications really are designed simply to reduce the symptoms of anxiety or depression, but they do nothing to change the underlying psychological habitual process that creates anxiety or depression, and that needs a form of psychotherapy. Talk therapy also is good, it is good to be able to talk about your emotions and what’s troubling you to someone who is willing to listen and give useful advice.
But generally, again, counseling is not enough to change the underlying psychological process that creates your anxiety or panic attacks or depression or obsessive thoughts or addiction or any other common emotional problem. So that’s the focus of mindfulness therapy that I teach online through Skype.

Counseling via Skype for Overcoming Anxiety & Depression
Lots of people prefer to speak with a therapist online over Skype it’s also an extremely successful method for getting professional help and learning new strategies for managing challenging emotions plus because it is quite suitable.
Counseling via Skype is becoming more and more popular these days as people begin to turn away from the medical type intervention towards a more of a self-help type approach to working with emotional suffering. So I offer Skype counseling for anxiety and for depression and also for working with addictions as well. Basically, working with any form of emotional suffering that’s caused by underlying psychological habits.
Anxiety and depression is a product of psychological habits more than anything else. That habit can have many triggers. The triggers can be thoughts, events, other emotions, physical sensations in the body or it can be even chemical and physiological imbalances in the body itself these are whole triggers, what the trigger is what we work on during these Skype counseling sessions.
So the underlying habits of mind that create anxiety and depression, we use mindfulness therapy for doing this. Mindfulness is an extremely effective way of investigating the structure of these emotional habits. You can find out how these habits work when you begin to look more closely at them.
There are two principal aspects to a psychological habits. The first is the habitual reactive thinking. This acts like fuel that feeds the anxiety and depression. The second part of a psychological habits is formed by the imagery of the emotion itself – How we see the anxiety or depression or emotional trauma in the mind, this is a very important part of structure of emotions.
During mindfulness therapy we start to develop a more conscious relationship to both the reactive thinking that fuels our anxiety and depression and the imagery of the emotions that causes the intensity of the emotion.
If you’d like to learn more about how to work with your emotions without using medications, do please go to my website and read more about Skype therapy and the online psychotherapy process that I offer and then contact me. Email me, ask any questions you may have about Skype counseling.
This approach of working with the underlying habits is a very, very effective indeed, and you should see significant changes in the intensity and frequency of your anxiety or depression after the first couple of weeks of working with me.

Mindfulness Counseling via Skype for Anxiety & Depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist specializing in mindfulness therapy.
This is a particular approach to healing anxiety and depression that does not rely on medications but rather teaches you very effective practical methods that you can develop yourself between sessions for working on your anxiety or depression or any other emotional problem.
Counseling via Skype is a very convenient and also very effective approach. When you use Skype of course you can see each other and that is very important for online therapy because it increases the effectiveness of communication and it will greatly improve the outcome of your therapy sessions. So that’s why we use Skype, but I also accept FaceTime and other platforms as well.
Skype calls are very confidential and encrypted so you can rest assured that your Skype communications will be kept confidential. But for most people it’s equally as good as meeting a therapist in person.
People approach me because they have a specific interest in counseling via Skype because they can’t find a local therapist in their location, or they’re living abroad and they want help with someone who speaks their language and also someone like myself who specializes in mindfulness therapy.
If you’d like to learn more about this service then please go to my website and read more about online mindfulness therapy.
If you’d like to schedule a Skype counseling session with me then please reach out to me by email and we can schedule a counseling session at a time that works for you.
During each session I will teach you very practical mindfulness methods for working with your emotions.
The first method we call overcoming the problem of reactive identification. So the most typical situation is that we develop habits and conditioned reactions whereby anxiety or depression is triggered by certain triggers either externally, or internally in the form of thoughts or other internal experiences. That could also be physical experiences, physical sensations.
Whatever the trigger, it effectively triggers an internal habit and that habit creates the emotion and for most people this happens quite automatically. It happens unconsciously, as indeed all habits operate that way.
So the first thing that we learn is how to break these habits, how to overcome the anxiety habit or the depression habit or the OCD habit or whatever it might be.
We do this by deliberately focusing on those thoughts and emotions and other sensations and other triggers and we work with them in a very strategic and focused way.
The idea here is that you learn how to break free from that habit when you are exposed to the trigger. So we do this by a method called mindfulness meditation, whereby you meditate on your anxiety or depression or on the specific triggers that trigger your anxiety and depression. And by bringing consciousness to your experience you’re able to break this habit so that you can be with that trigger and not experience anxiety or depression.
Then through the training of mindfulness meditation we then go out and find these various triggers. So for example if it is driving anxiety you would set yourself a challenge and you would drive that particular stretch of road that has those external triggers that trigger the anxiety and you would test just your training out to see how well you have neutralized those anxiety habits.
So we do it in a very strategic way. We combine mindfulness meditation training with exposure therapy, if you like, and this approach is very, very effective indeed. So exposure therapy by itself is not sufficient. Just hoping that you will desensitize yourself by repeated exposure is problematic.
Sometimes it works but sometimes you end up reinforcing the emotional habit. You must bring consciousness to this process and that’s what mindfulness is. Mindfulness is a form of conscious awareness that specifically brings consciousness to the experience that you are focusing on but without any form of reactivity to that experience, it is a very direct form of consciousness. It is non-reactive consciousness, and that’s very, very powerful for overcoming the habits of emotional reactivity.
There are lots of other things we do during sessions and I will teach you lots of ways of working with your anxiety or depression or OCD or PTSD using mindfulness.
So if you like to get started with counseling via Skype using mindfulness then please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session. Thank you.

Counseling via Skype for Anxiety and Depression
If you’re struggling with anxiety or depression and you’d like help to recover from anxiety and depression you might consider counseling via Skype.
This is a very convenient way of getting the help that you need without having to leave home. Often people are not able to leave home because of their anxiety or even because of their depression. I see lots of people suffering from agoraphobia and also many of my clients come to me because they have a fear of driving. They have a driving phobia which stops them going to see a therapist in their office.
So if you are suffering from an anxiety disorder like that or if you just prefer the convenience of being able to have your therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home, then counseling via Skype is well worth considering.
We use Skype because that enables us to see each other and of course being able to see each other will greatly improve the effectiveness of communication, and it will allow you to see benefits in a shorter period of time.
In the old days online therapy was mostly in the form of e-mail counseling. But that’s a very slow process really, it’s not as effective. When you can see each other the the amount of communication goes up exponentially so that’s why we use Skype, but also we can use other video formats as well. Whatever works best for you.
During my sessions I work on teaching my clients how to overcome their anxiety or depression or whatever they’re struggling with using mindfulness.
Now Mindfulness Therapy has become extremely popular these days but there still are not a lot of people offering Mindfulness Therapy and that’s one reason why people search for an online therapist who offers Mindfulness Therapy for treating anxiety or depression.
This style of therapy is quite different than conventional talk therapy or what is basically described as counseling. Although I call this counseling via Skype, it’s really not conventional talk-based counseling but rather an approach that focuses on helping you change the actual underlying psychological habitual processes that cause your anxiety or depression or OCD or PTSD. This is the important thing. Being able to change that underlying cause rather than just talking about your emotions.
That might provide a temporary relief. It is always good to talk about your problems but it doesn’t necessarily change the underlying process that will continue to cause your anxiety old passion. So that is really the focus of psychotherapy, which is quite different than counseling. So I offer psychotherapy by Skype based on mindfulness.
Mindfulness training allows you to break free from these habits that create anxiety or depression. It allows you to bring a great deal of focused consciousness to those habits and of course that is essential for changing any kind of habit.
Once you eliminate that habit with consciousness then you begin to regain choice and you can then begin to change that habit consciously.
There are lots of details to how we do this using mindfulness therapy but I can assure you that it’s very effective and in my opinion it is considerably more effective than CBT, which is highly recommended for treating anxiety and also depression.
CBT is good because it helps you work on that process of reactive thinking and changing the habits associated with reactive thinking. But it doesn’t always allow you to change the emotion itself to recover from that emotional pain to heal the underlying emotional pain that is causing your anxiety or depression or addiction. So that is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy.
We do this by establishing a very conscious and compassionate relationship with your emotions. Of course, our habit is to do the exact opposite. We react with aversion and hatred for those painful emotions and we try to avoid them. These fight or flight reactions to anxiety or depression have the unfortunate effect of reinforcing the anxiety or depression.
The best analogy to understand this is to think about how you would comfort a child who is in pain or a friend who is in some degree of emotional distress. How would you go about doing that. What you probably have discovered yourself is that the most effective way to help someone recover from their pain is by being present, being totally present often without saying very much, just being totally present and listening rather than trying to fix their suffering.
So providing that safe conscious space is very healing for most people. And we do this with our emotions. We learn how to create that same kind of safe conscious space around our anxiety or depression. We hold them in that space. And this greatly increases the rate of recovery and healing.
So that’s one of the primary principles of Mindfulness Therapy as I teach it.
If you’d like to learn more about this approach about how to apply mindfulness to heal anxiety or depression or any other form of emotional suffering, then please simply email me. You may ask any questions you have about the process. I will be happy to answer them and let’s schedule a trial session. All the details are on my website. So when you feel ready reach out to me and let’s schedule an online therapy session via Skype. Thank you.

Counseling via Skype – Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional mindfulness-based counselor and therapist based in the USA, and I offer counseling via Skype worldwide. Wherever you may live you can do Skype counseling with me as long as you have a good Internet connection.
So mindfulness-based counseling is a very different way for most people of working with emotions like anxiety and depression or addiction. The whole focus of mindfulness therapy, in general, is helping you work directly with your emotions.
So emotions are what trigger everything. Really it is the emotions themselves that provide the fuel or the energy source that fuels reactive thinking. For example excessive worrying, it might be catastrophic thinking or rumination. The Reactive thinking is fueled by the underlying emotional energy of anxiety or depression and beneath that really is just fear itself.
So working with that emotional energy is central because that is what is necessary for the whole process that creates our emotional suffering. Reactive behaviors like addictions are also reactions to the underlying emotions: depression, feeling helpless, the underlying sense of loneliness, whatever it may be, low self-esteem, and so on. These underlying emotions are what we need to work with because they are what fuel addiction, also.
We learn to meditate on our emotions
So in mindfulness work and therapy in general, what we learn to do is we learn to meditate on those emotions. Instead of ignoring them, instead of running away from them, instead of getting lost and reactive behaviors like addictions, we find the underlying emotion and we sit with it, we meditate on it and build a conscious and friendly relationship with that underlying fear. This is the whole focus of mindfulness meditation.
It is not about meditating on the breath or some other object. That in effect is simply another way of avoiding our emotional suffering, and the whole focus of mindfulness meditation, which is something that was developed by the Buddha, two-and-half thousand years ago is to relieve emotional suffering. That is the goal of all of the teachings of the Buddha. So this includes meditation and that’s why we meditate on our emotions because anxiety and depression or guilt or grief or loneliness or feeling inadequate or feeling empty. These are all forms of emotional suffering and we need to work on healing that suffering, and the best way to promote healing is to build a conscious and friendly relationship internally with your suffering.
The best analogy for this process of mindfulness meditation on suffering would be thinking about the relationship of a parent to a child or a baby. If the baby is crying then what it needs more than anything else is the connection with its mother, to feel that connection. And that parent-child relationship is what helps the baby resolve its own suffering. It also helps because in the quality of that relationship we will discover the cause of the baby’s crying. We become much more aware when we develop a conscious and mindful connection with our emotions in the same way.
So we learn how to hold our emotions in this conscious non-judgmental, non-reactive space of awareness and then we begin to explore ways of responding to those emotions directly that helps them heal.
The first is to develop a friendly and loving relationship with our fear because when you bring love to fear, then the fear is able to heal and release itself.
The primary problem is that we do not form this internal relationship because fractured, so that the fear, the primary ingredient of both anxiety and depression becomes isolated, disconnected from the rest of you. And in that isolated, disconnected condition it simply becomes reactive and that energy then feeds into layers and layers of reactivity, whether that’s cognitive reactivity and rumination and catastrophic thinking and negative thinking or forming negative beliefs that are self-limiting; or whether it’s behavioral reactivity like addictions or other forms of avoidance; or even reactivity in the body as well – somatic reactivity.
These are all outlets; these are all ways that that energy has to escape, if you like, when it’s not taken care of. So in order to prevent this process of reactivity, which then of course feeds the underlying emotional suffering; we need to build this conscious friendly relationship. And if we don’t have a friendly relationship with our fear or our anger or our feeling of helplessness or grief then it will not heal.
So developing a friendly relationship internally is essential. And part of doing this means that we watch very carefully for those reactions of hatred towards our own emotions. So people do not like feeling fear for example. So that’s a reaction of aversion or hatred to the fear, which feeds it. So we watch for that and when we see these secondary reactions we learn to embrace them as well with mindfulness, with this compassionate quality of friendly consciousness.
So with practice we can begin to undo the internal habits that feed our emotional suffering and the reactive products of that suffering. And we can promote healing instead.
So that’s one part of Mindfulness Therapy. It is building and re-establishing this internal relationship between what we call your “True Self” which is like the parent. It is really that space of conscious awareness itself that is able to contain and embrace suffering without suffering itself. It does not react. It simply embraces and holds suffering within it in a compassionate embrace.
So that’s one part of mindfulness, a very important part, probably the core of mindfulness training and Mindfulness Therapy is developing this inside so that you are able to promote and facilitate healing.
There are other aspects of mindfulness which would include developing and cultivating the sense of your True Self – that which does not suffer, or cultivating happiness, essentially – the state of well being which is our natural state. It is our default states. That’s the nature of our True Self. Its natural state is one of well being, of equilibrium, of balance and of happiness.
The problem is we get pulled away from our True Self identity and we become captivated by the identity of our Little Self, the reactive habits of the conditioned mind. And when that happens we lose our basic inherent happiness and we start to suffer.
But the suffering points this out for us. It’s functional. It shows as though we have gone away from our natural state into this unnatural state of the conditioned mind. So the suffering shows us that we’ve gone in the wrong direction, and if we then start to meditate on our suffering it will start to re-establish your True Self, the one that is able to be present and observe the anxiety or depression or fear or whatever it might be.
So it’s important to understand that your True Self is always present. You just lose sight of it. And when we do meditation we are re-establishing our identity as this loving conscious presence that is by nature happy you.
The analogy here would be again with the mother and child. The baby may be crying but the mother is actually experiencing a great deal of love and the joyfulness of that feeling of love when she is holding the baby and comforting it, rocking it, whatever she discovers through her own internal wisdom helps the baby to resolve its suffering.
So that is an example where you can be happy actually observing your own suffering, but as the observer not becoming lost in the suffering, not indulging in it. But when you can observe it mindfully you can actually experience a great deal of happiness and that happiness, that fearlessness, is of course exactly what the Little Self, the fear or the unhappiness, needs in order to heal. It needs to reconnect with your True Self.
So this is just a part of the teachings on mindfulness for healing anxiety and depression and addiction and many other forms of emotional suffering. I will teach you how to do this, how to meditate on your emotions and bring about healing in great detail during our sessions together.
So if this interests you, if you’re looking for an alternative to conventional talk therapy, if you’re looking for an alternative to medications, which of course do nothing to treat the underlying cause of your suffering, then please do contact me and let’s schedule a therapy session.
So I look forward to hearing from you and helping you learn how to apply mindfulness and meditation for promoting your wellbeing and happiness. Thank you.
