Agoraphobia Help Online via Skype

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy for Recovery from Agoraphobia and Social Anxiety Disorder without using medications.

Talk to a Psychotherapist Online via Skype for highly effective online help and therapy for Chronic Agoraphobia, Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.

If you are trying to overcome agoraphobia you must treat the underlying habitual anxiety reactions that underly your agoraphobia. Prescription medications don’t address this because medications only treat symptoms and are not able to change the underlying psychological process that causes anxiety. You will need a psychological approach to do that. During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on healing these habitual reactions directly.

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 required for good communication and good psychotherapy.

Working with Inner Imagery – The secret to healing Agoraphobia

Internally, every emotion is structured around imagery – inner pictorial representations that resonate with the emotion. For example, anger is usually associate with the color red and anger is structured around imagery that is red in color and probably hot as well.

We can learn about the structure of our inner imagery by observing our emotions with mindfulness. From what we learn, we can intuitively see what changes in the imagery might be helpful. Change the imagery and you change the structure of the emotion.

People with agoraphobia typically have a great deal of inner imagery, very often based on the feeling of emptiness, an inner void or black hole that threatens to swallow up everything.

Discovering the structure of this imagery provides a very powerful tool for changing the intensity of the anxiety underlying agoraphobia. This approach is one of the most effective treatment for agoraphobia and was pioneered by Dr. Strong in the 1980s.

Online Therapy through Skype for the treatment of Agoraphobia from your home

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in online therapy and I offer online therapy for agoraphobia.

So, agoraphobia online therapy is very effective for people who really can't get out of the house to work with a therapist in their local area.

So, during these sessions that I offer via Skype, I focus on teaching you very effective mindfulness-based methods of working with your anxiety and panic attacks.

The real important thing to understand here is that Agoraphobia is really a psychological habit. I prefer to call it a habit rather than a disorder because when you start labeling these psychological states as disorders that tends to reinforce your sense of helplessness as a victim, and we don't want to do that.

The actual mechanism that generates the anxiety and panic attacks of agoraphobia is a habit and habits can be changed. So during online agoraphobia therapy sessions I will guide you in how to work with the underlying emotions and thought patterns that supports that anxiety.

We do this in a surprising way. We actually learn to make friends with our fear. This is very, very important. You can't change the belief when it has a very strong emotional charge based on fear. No amount of rational arguments or persuasion that you don't need to feel this way is going to change that anxiety. You have to learn to work with the anxiety directly. And that's what you do during mindfulness therapy. We actually learn to meditate on your own fear as you imagine walking or traveling out of your safe zone.

So, we set up a series of challenges, exposures, if you like, where you choose to do a particularly difficult exercise but one that you can manage. But then we prepare for this by playing it through in the mind it might be walking around the block or just simply leaving the house for a few minutes, whatever it might be.

We design a challenge and then we prepare for it by meditating on it. We play it through in the mind and then we look for the fear reactions and we look for the thought reactions that feed that fear and then we develop a mindfulness-based relationship with these emotions and thoughts, and that relationship is based on friendliness.

You learn, essentially, to sit with your emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, without losing your balance. This is central. This is a central part of mindfulness training, that you can be with your thoughts and emotions but not be overwhelmed by them. When you can do dance then you start to break the habits that get reinforced by re-traumatizing, essentially, that fear.

So, we learn to sit with our emotions without becoming reactive and without identifying with those emotions. We learn to develop this other side of our identity, which we call the True Self, the Observer Mind, that which can be conscious of thoughts and emotions but is not identified with thoughts or emotions.

We then work with those emotions and begin to treat them very much as you might treat a child that's afraid. we learn to comfort the emotion itself, the fear. you build a strong relationship with it, rather like a parent to a child. And in this way the fear reaction, that we might call the Little Self is able to let go of its fear by proximity to your True Self which is fearless nature.

So, in this way we begin to build resolution pathways in the brain. You learn, basically, how to help the emotions resolve themselves, so that if they get triggered they simply resolve instantly, on the spot, through the training that you've done before you do the challenge And then you go out and walk around the block or whatever and put this training into action.

So, we repeat this process over and over again. Meditation before challenge and we do the challenge and we may come back and meditate some more and then we repeat the challenge until we no longer feel any fear in doing that challenge. Then we move on to a harder challenge. And in this way we gain more and more confidence in the process.

So, when you are able to neutralize these emotional reactions then the beliefs begin to change quite automatically. We don't need to try and change our beliefs. We simply need to change the emotional content that fuels those beliefs and makes them so powerful.

Treating Agoraphobia from Home via 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.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy. If you would like to see a therapist online for help with agoraphobia, then please do go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service.

Many people come to me for help with agoraphobia and of course being able to see a therapist online is extremely valuable. If you're suffering from agoraphobia and you're experiencing the anxiety of leaving home of traveling to see a therapist in their office that's the major problem that we have to overcome. Of course with agoraphobia we have to learn how to address these anxiety reactions that you're having and if you can't leave home then that becomes very difficult. So the online therapy option is a very good choice if you are suffering from severe anxiety and agoraphobia.

So the approach that I use for helping people overcome agoraphobia is called Mindfulness Therapy and it is a very effective approach, one that I have developed over the years and refined, and from my experience it's probably the best approach out there for helping you overcome those anxiety reactions so that you can leave home and go into previously difficult situations and difficult spaces that would have caused great anxiety in the past.

Our mission here is to learn how to change those habitual anxiety reactions and mindfulness therapy is extremely good at doing this. It has some similarities to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but it's much more focused on working at the level of the anxiety itself. Mindfulness Therapy works more with emotions than thoughts because we see thoughts as being really the products of the underlying emotions rather than the other way round. So a common theme in Mindfulness Therapy is that we understand that thoughts do not cause anxiety but anxiety certainly causes a lot of thoughts that feed that anxiety.

So we have to work with the underlying anxiety directly. You can't do that just by trying to change the thoughts. Those are simply the byproducts of that anxiety.

So we do this by first of all designing a well-constructed schedule of exposure challenges. That is a necessary part of the recovery process. You design a series of challenges. It doesn't matter how small they are. The point is to do them well and to neutralize any anxiety reactions associated with that particular challenge. Then you progress to a more difficult challenge and you work with that in the same way using the various mindfulness techniques that I will teach you until you can do that challenge without any anxiety reactions at all and then he moved to another challenge and you move up a series of challenges progressing in difficulty until you can completely overcome all anxiety.

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach and you'd like to schedule some Skype therapy sessions with me to work on your agoraphobia, or other form of anxiety, then do please contact me and we can get started.
