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

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

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

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

Contact me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

How to overcome agoraphobia without medication - Online Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

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.

Online Therapist for treating Agoraphobia

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Online Treatment for Agoraphobia via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer mindfulness based online therapy for agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks.

The mindfulness approach is extremely effective and during online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your agoraphobic anxiety using the techniques of mindfulness to help you prevent your becoming overwhelmed by the anxiety reactions. We do this by actually meditating on our anxiety before we do any challenges.

Meditating helps to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety and this is absolutely essential, because the biggest problem that I encounter is that people suffering from anxiety tend to become identified with their emotions. They tend to become consumed by their emotions. They effectively lose their identity and become the emotions and this creates a very reactive place that is very difficult to escape from.

So with mindfulness training you can change this pattern and learn to develop a relationship with your anxiety whereby you do not become identified with it where you can see the anxiety as an observer. This is essential for change. Once you begin to do this the rate of recovery from agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks increases dramatically, and most people will see quite substantial changes after only four or five sessions with me once they start applying the mindfulness-based techniques.

So the basic idea is that you will schedule sessions with me and we will work on setting up a series of challenges that you can manage and then you prepare for these challenges using mindfulness meditation. You do that challenge and you meditate on any anxiety that arose during that challenge.

And each time we learn a little more about how to change our relationship to our anxiety so that we basically break free from the habit of identification and becoming overwhelmed by it. And this approach is, from my experience, the most effective there is for overcoming agoraphobic anxiety. So if you'd like to get started with me simply go to my website and then email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with me.

Skype with a therapist - Therapy over Skype for anxiety and depression

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.

If you are interested in working with an online Skype therapist then I invite you to go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service, and then simply contact me with any questions you may have about Skype Therapy and whether it's suitable for your particular needs.

Generally, people find working with a Skype therapist online to be just as effective as working with a therapist in person, and in some cases actually better, in my opinion, because it's more comfortable for you, the client. You're able to conduct your therapy sessions from the comfort and security of your own home and that can really improve the quality of recovery or psychotherapy in general.

So the style of therapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy. This is a system that I developed several years ago now and have been teaching worldwide. Most of my clients live in America but I also see people in Western Europe, the Middle East and as far away as Australia. All you need for working online with a Skype therapist is a good internet connection.

So mindfulness therapy is really a way of helping you change the way that you relate to your emotions. This is quite critical. Most of the time we simply become reactive and overwhelmed by conditioned emotional reactions. We simply become consumed by them. There's no relationship with our thoughts and with our emotions. So mindfulness is a way of training in becoming more conscious and more aware and less reactive.

You can learn to develop mindfulness towards your emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming reactive and feeding the suffering.

So this is a very important part of Mindfulness Therapy: Learning how to change the relationship to your mind, essentially, to the contents of your mind.

The second part of mindfulness therapy is learning how to respond to unresolved emotions that are fueling all of this emotional suffering. So we learn to develop a compassionate relationship to our emotions, rather like developing a compassionate relationship towards a child that is in pain.

When you can establish that same quality of relationship with your emotions. you're creating the absolute perfect conditions for those emotions to heal and resolve themselves. This is a very important part of mindfulness therapy and training: Learning how to cultivate a conscious and friendly relationship to your emotional pain. This is essential for healing.

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach to working with anxiety and depression and addiction and other emotional suffering, do please go to my website and if you would like to talk to an online therapist via Skype simply email me and we can schedule the session that works for you. Thank you.

See a therapist via Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy via Skype. If you're looking for a Skype therapist to help you manage anxiety or depression or to work with addiction or to work with intrusive thoughts or emotional trauma, I am available to help. Please look at my website. And feel free to contact me if you have any questions about working with a Skype therapist.

Skype therapy is a very convenient way of getting the help that you need. We use Skype so that you can see each other. That's really important for quality psychotherapy. You need to see each other. But other than that, there's no difference between seeing a therapist via Skype or seeing a therapist in person. The quality of psychotherapy, of teaching and transmitting methods for working with anxiety and depression, is just as effective when done via Skype as it is in person.

For many people, the Skype therapy option is the most preferred option because it's much more comfortable for you. It's much easier. It's much less intimidating than going to see a therapist in an office.

The whole point of psychotherapy is to help you overcome your anxiety or depression and to learn the methods to do that. And it is not to look for a treatment-based approach. Medications are not an effective treatment for anxiety or depression. They simply suppress symptoms. You need to learn how to work with your emotions at the psychological level and that's what I teach during these online Skype therapy sessions.

If you'd like to learn more, then please go to my website and feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

So I specialize in mindfulness therapy. This is a very effective form of cognitive therapy. It's the next stage up from CBT. And the focus is primarily on working at the emotional level, not just working with thoughts, but working with the emotions underneath the thoughts. It's very effective and most people see substantial improvements after a few sessions with me when they start to apply the methods that I will be teaching.

We have to learn how to fundamentally change our relationship to our thoughts and to our emotions. We have to start developing more mindfulness, more conscious awareness and less reactive identification and reactivity in general towards our emotional pain.

If you react to anxiety or depression, you simply make it worse; react to trauma and you will make it more traumatic.

What we need to do is learn how to not react to our emotions, and this then opens up a space that allows healing to occur. So Non-reactivity is the first most essential method and strategy that I'll be teaching you during these Skype therapy sessions.

You then learn to develop more advanced qualities in our relationship with our emotions that are based on compassion and kindness and friendliness and other qualities that allow healing to occur. Reactivity prevents healing, but a mindful relationship based on friendliness and compassion and non-reactivity promotes healing.

So if you would like to learn more about working with me on your particular emotional pain, whether it's anxiety or depression or intrusive thoughts or traumatic memories or addiction, then do please contact me. And let's set up his Skype therapy session. Thank you.
