If you are trying to recover fully from agoraphobia you have to treat the underlying habitual anxiety reactions that underly your agoraphobia. Prescription medications don’t address this because medications only treat symptoms and can not change the underlying psychological process that causes anxiety. You will need psychotherapy to do that. During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on neutralizing these habitual reactions directly.
Online therapy works very well as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is required for good communication and effective psychotherapy.
What Treatment Methods work Best for Agoraphobia?
In my experience, the best therapeutic approach for helping people overcome agoraphobia is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy).
Cognitive-based therapy helps you identify the underlying habitual and reactive thoughts and beliefs that create anxiety. Developing awareness of these habitual negative thinking patterns is a very important first step in changing them.
Mindfulness Therapy helps you neutralize and resolve the underlying emotional panic anxiety and fear that fuels the thoughts and beliefs. Learning how to diffuse and resolve the underlying emotions is essential and mindfulness is one of the best awareness tools for doing this.
With practice, you begin to completely change your relationship to the emotions from being a victim to being aware. the more aware you are, the less reactive you become. As you become less reactive, you can begin to explore ways to heal the anxiety-fear directly. Instead of fighting your emotions or avoiding them, you learn how to be with them as a friend. Mindfulness training makes this possible.
The Mindfulness Therapy approach of Imaginal Exposure followed by real challenges teaches you how to work with panic anxiety thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them and this makes it possible to do Imaginal Exposure Exercises, where you imagine leaving your house or going on a journey or being in a crowded place. Through repetition you quickly learn how to process any anxiety reactions as they arise and you prepare yourself for an actual real-life challenge.
At first, we make the challenge small and manageable. We begin to build direct experience and confidence and build on what we have achieved. This very systematic process of preparation through guided Imaginal Exposure followed by real challenges is a proven and effective method for breaking free from agoraphobia and panic attacks.

How to overcome agoraphobia without medication
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression and addictions and many other emotional problems that respond well to mindfulness therapy. One particular anxiety disorder that I work with a great deal is agoraphobia. So if you're interested in overcoming agoraphobia without the use of medications but through learning the strategic methods of mindfulness training and therapy then do please contact me and tell me more about your condition and I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
When you feel ready you can schedule a Skype Therapy session with me and I will teach you how to overcome agoraphobia without medications.
It's important to understand that medications are only a temporary solution. They do not and are not designed to change the underlying psychological habitual process that generates anxiety. Medications simply reduce symptoms but really they are not really a good choice in the long run because they leave you vulnerable to those underlying psychological habits that create the anxiety. You want to change those habits and that's the focus of mindfulness therapy. I will teach you how to neutralize those underlying habits that create anxiety.
So what triggers anxiety in agoraphobia? Well is generally triggered by thoughts and beliefs and anticipation and rumination whereby you get trapped in cycles of fear-based thinking.
What will happen if I have a panic attack away from home? How will I get home? The fear of being trapped, the fear of not being able to get back to a secure zone, basically.
So agoraphobia is characterized by being a prisoner of a comfort zone which often gets smaller and smaller as the disorder progresses. So we have to work on building strategies to get you out of that prison, and we do that by working on those emotional habits directly. Typically we are not really aware of our anxiety producing habits. They operate unconsciously like most habits and we just blindly accept them. We identify with these habits and we suffer because of that.
So the first thing that we do in mindfulness therapy is identifying those thought reactions themselves that trigger the anxiety. We then work in a very specific way with those thoughts reactions and beliefs using various techniques. The first and most important one is learning to overcome this habit of identification so that we can hold the thought in our mind whatever it might be. The fear of fainting, the fear of being out of control, the fear of having a panic attack, whatever it might be.
We do this by meditating on those thoughts. We make every effort not to avoid those thoughts.
So that's very important. That is the first part of training. We call this mindfulness-based exposure therapy. We are exposing ourselves to those thoughts; those triggers and we train ourselves out of the habit of blindly identifying with them and feeding the anxiety.
The second way we work with the anxiety thoughts is to work with their imagery. We look at the imagery of the thoughts, how we see the emotion in the mind that gets triggered by these reactive thoughts is very important. That imagery is what actually creates the identity. And we work with that imagery in a way that neutralizes the anxiety.
Now the next part of our approach to overcoming agoraphobia that doesn't require medication is to design a schedule of daily challenges. So this is where we will expose ourselves to a particular situation that would tend to generate those reactive anxiety-producing thoughts.
And with the mindfulness-based exposure therapy that I've been describing, you can expect to see really effective progress within a few sessions. Usually after the first three or four weeks of applying the mindfulness techniques that I will teach you, you will notice significant reduction in anxiety and the ability to now start extending your range out of that prison.
So if you'd like to learn more about how to overcome the agoraphobia without using medication, then please email me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session.

So for many people suffering from agoraphobia the online therapy option is absolutely essential and that's what I've been trying to provide over the last 10 years or so now, is a well tested mindfulness-based approach to overcoming the anxiety of agoraphobia.

Online Psychotherapy by Skype for agoraphobia with panic disorder
So if you're struggling with agoraphobia, you might consider online agoraphobia therapy. Being able to get online psychotherapy for your agoraphobia is very convenient and very necessary in many cases because it's so difficult to leave the security of your own home. This is the chief characteristic of agoraphobia and it's a great barrier to getting the help that you need to overcome this anxiety disorder.
So I have developed a system of psychotherapy called Mindfulness Therapy that is extremely effective for anxiety disorders. And it works very well online. So during these online sessions that we can arrange via Skype, I will be teaching you a variety of mindfulness methods and techniques for working with that anxiety in a very focused and strategic way. And that's the key. You must take a very organized approach to working with your anxiety.
So the first step is to really identify the triggers that trigger the habitual anxiety reactions of your particular agoraphobia. So you can write those down. Identify those triggers. And then we go about constructing a series of challenges.
Exposure challenges. This is a very important part of the recovery process. You cannot hope to recover from anxiety if you seek to avoid the anxiety you must face in society and help it change. But it's not sufficient to simply try and struggle through the anxiety. It's not about that. It's not about developing willpower. It's about finding that anxiety and healing it. This is the main focus of Mindfulness Therapy.
So if you're interested in doing online agoraphobia therapy via Skype, do please contact me and let's schedule a Skype therapy session. This approach is very effective. Most people see results within a matter of weeks, sometimes days. Once they start really changing the nature of their relationship with the anxiety. This is the key.
So please contact me if you are genuinely interested in breaking free from your agoraphobia.

Online Therapist for Agoraphobia via Skype
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy via Skype for help with anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia.
So if you're looking for an online therapist via Skype to help you manage your agoraphobia then please contact me and ask any questions you may have about this service and about how I can help you overcome your agoraphobia.
So being able to see a therapist online is of course essential if you're suffering from agoraphobia and find it very difficult to leave the comfort of your own home or to travel by car to see a therapist.
The biggest problem with agoraphobia is that we become trapped, we become imprisoned in our home or in a very restricted "safe zone" and it's very anxiety producing to try and leave that zone. So that's why I have developed an online Skype-based program to help people overcome the anxiety and panic attacks associated with the agoraphobia.
The main approach that I have developed and specialize in and that I find works best for agoraphobia is called Mindfulness Therapy and specifically mindfulness-based exposure therapy.
So exposure therapy is an essential part of your recovery process. You need to challenge yourself to move outside of your comfort comfort zone. That's very important. You must not fall into the habit of avoidance. That really is a problem for agoraphobia, this tendency to avoid anxiety-producing situations. When you fall into that trap of avoidance you end up reinforcing the anxiety.
So we need to develop a very strategic approach to extending our range and stop the avoidance behaviors.
The biggest problem for most people is they simply become hypnotized by those anxiety reactions; they become seduced by them and fall into that anxiety reaction. It's a blind and unconscious process that's going on here and that's what we have to change, and mindfulness is really good at doing that because it brings conscious awareness to the habits, to the thought habits and the emotional reactions that cause that anxiety.
So that's a little bit of the theory of mindfulness therapy and how it works for neutralizing anxiety. So if you would like to learn more, please contact me and we can schedule a session and you can see for yourself just how effective this approach is.
