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

Speak with a Therapist Online using Skype for highly effective online help and treatment for overcoming Chronic Agoraphobia, Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.

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

Medications don’t do this. Medications only treat anxiety symptoms, but do nothing to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. To recover fully you need an effective form of psychotherapy that should include Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Therapy to overcome anxiety-based thinking. You also need to work directly on the anxiety that feeds those thoughts.

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on neutralizing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is very effective and most people see measurable decrease in anxiety symptoms after 3-4 Skype sessions with me.

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 effective communication and good psychotherapy.

Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia

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

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

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

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

Online Support for Agoraphobia - Online Mindfulness Therapy through Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online help for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders that may be affecting the quality of your life. I offer online therapy, which is of course very convenient if you're suffering from agoraphobia.

The style of therapy that I offer is called mindfulness therapy and this is a very practical hands-on approach that gives you tools that you can use between therapy sessions to progressively overcome your agoraphobia.

So, mindfulness therapy consists of a combination of two important aspects. The first is designing a series of progressive challenges. That's very important, of course, that you try to face your fears and not simply give into them. But you need to do this in a progressive way starting simple and then progressing to more difficult challenges.

The other part of this approach is to do training before you do any kind of exposure challenge. You need to prepare yourself so that if anxiety gets triggered, that you will have trained such that that that anxiety will dissipate or resolve itself on the spot in the presence of the particular triggers that trigger the fear, anxiety or panic attacks. So we train beforehand.

We do this by developing a very different quality of relationship to our anxiety and this is the hallmark of mindfulness therapy. The real problem is not so much the anxiety itself but our reactions to that anxiety. We tend to develop patterns of fear-based reactions to our anxiety and other emotions that tend to feed that underlying anxiety and stop it resolving itself.

So, during the preparation step before a challenge you actually will be learning how to meditate on your anxiety. So you will play through the scene of perhaps walking around the block or whatever challenge you decide to start with. You look for the anxiety that gets triggered in your mind and then you change the way that you relate to that anxiety. And the most important thing is not to become identified with the anxiety; to see the anxiety as if it was a visitor or simply an object in the mind. Then we can learn to develop balance in relationship to that object. So you can sit with your anxiety without becoming anxious. That's the most important first step in the training before you do any challenges.

The second step is to respond to that anxiety with a quality of friendliness and compassion. This also is a vital part of the mindfulness approach. Mindfulness is this combination of consciousness and friendliness.

Friendliness is immensely powerful in overcoming fear. So you could think that of the fear emotion itself as being like a child. It feels isolated. It's scared. And what does it need? The most important thing it needs is to feel a connection with its parent. The parent is not afraid. During meditation on our anxiety we establish this kind of internal parent which we call our true self. It is not afraid it is able to establish a relationship with the anxiety that is not based on fear based on compassion. This is exactly what the fear needs in order to resolve itself. And that is what we call the True Self-Little Self Alliance.

So when people are stuck in patterns of anxiety it's because that alliance is missing within. So building that is essential. And there are many other things that we do during the training before each challenge session, but that's a taste of Mindfulness Therapy. It is very, very effective in deed, and most people see significant improvements after three or four weeks of practicing the techniques that I will teach you. So, if you're interested in online help for your anxiety and your agoraphobia do please send me an email and let's schedule a therapy session via Skype. Thank you.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy, and I provide online help for agoraphobia. Many people suffering from agoraphobia find it very difficult to leave home or leave a secure area where they feel comfortable and so the online therapy option is very convenient and sometimes essential.

So I've been offering online help for people suffering from agoraphobia for about ten years now and it works extremely well. The online therapy sessions are organized via Skype and all you need is an internet connection and we can set up a Skype Therapy session to help you learn how to manage the anxiety and panic attacks associated with your agoraphobia.

During sessions I will teach you a practical mindfulness-based methods of working with agoraphobia that have being well tested and have proved very effective over the last ten years or so that I've been offering this service.

The most important thing that you will learn is how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and to your thoughts.

The biggest problem for most people is that as soon as anxiety or fear gets triggered that they become completely overwhelmed by that emotional reaction, and that identification with emotion leads to the proliferation of reactive thinking which then feeds the underlying fear and anxiety. So this produces a perfect storm, essentially, a feedback mechanism that reinforces the fear and prevents it healing and resolving, and this is what we attempt to change during mindfulness therapy sessions for agoraphobia.

If this interests you then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service and then contact me and we can schedule a therapy session over Skype to help you overcome your agoraphobia.

Best Online Help for Agoraphobia - Online Mindfulness Therapy

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional therapist and I offer online therapy via Skype for a variety of emotional and psychological problems that don't require medical treatment, such as anxiety and depression and also agoraphobia.

So I offer online help for agoraphobia via Skype. And this of course is very convenient for many people who are suffering from agoraphobia, because it's so difficult to leave home.

So during these online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your anxiety and panic attacks using the well tested techniques of Mindfulness Therapy.

Mindfulness therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is very effective and very popular these days because it focuses on helping you learn practical ways of working with your anxiety and reducing your anxiety and eliminating your anxiety.

Mindfulness teaches you practical methods to do this, and during our online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your anxiety using these techniques.

The basic most important part of getting over agoraphobia is to really take it on as a challenge rather than recoiling from your anxiety with fear.

So fear of fear of course makes things worse. Trying to avoid fear makes things worse. But facing your fear is what will leads to success. However, facing your fear has to be done in a very strategic and careful and measured way and that's what we explore during Mindfulness Therapy.

So you will set yourself up a series of challenges that you can explore and develop each day and prepare for these challenges using mindfulness meditation.

Basically, this is where you meditate on the challenge that you're about to do and look for any anxiety that gets triggered, and then work on healing that anxiety, that very specific anxiety in that specific context, by building a conscious and non-reactive relationship with that anxiety. That's what I mean by facing your fear. It's not some general statement, that will not work. That's of little value. It's about facing the specific fear that is triggered in a specific situation.

For example, many people with agoraphobia find it very distressing when they try to leave their house and walk down the street to a place where they can no longer see the house. That's very common. There's also often a tremendous fear of having a panic attack away from the security of your home.

These are examples of triggers, and in the mindfulness therapy approach we use these triggers. We actually will meditate on them and work specifically to help heal that particular anxiety that is triggered in that situation. And then we do the challenge. And then we meditate after doing the challenge to again work with any anxiety that may have arisen.

So this is a very strategic approach which I call mindfulness-based exposure therapy. And if you do this consistently every day you will absolutely overcome your agoraphobia or any other anxiety disorder. The same approach works very well for OCD, for example.

If you'd like to learn more about this approach then please send me an email. Ask any questions you have about online mindfulness therapy for agoraphobia and I'll be happy to answer anything that you would like to explore with me.

When you're ready we can schedule the first Skype Therapy session with you and in that therapy session we will get started straight away on developing some of these mindfulness-based practices and develop a exposure challenge schedule for you to start your recovery process.

Most people see really quite outstanding results when they take this approach and typically you should expect to see significant improvements after three or four weeks when you practice in this way.

So if you'd like to learn more need to get started with me to overcome your agoraphobia using mindfulness then please email me.
