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

Prescription medications don’t address this. Medications only treat anxiety symptoms, but do nothing to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.

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

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 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 Mindfulness based Therapy via Skype for overcoming Anxiety and Depression without using Drugs

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online mindfulness-based therapy for overcoming anxiety and depression without using drugs.

So drugs may have usefulness in extreme circumstances for managing symptoms but, of course, that's all the drugs are able to do. They do not treat the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression or agoraphobia or any other psychological problem.

The underlying cause for anxiety and depression is psychological. It's the result of certain unconscious habits that have become established. These habits are triggered by various factors maybe internal factors like thoughts and memories. It can be external factors such as a phobia for example around driving.

So the external site of a highway or being stuck at a cross section red light can be a trigger that triggers this underlying habit that creates the anxiety or a panic attack.

We do this in Mindfulness Therapy by actually developing conscious awareness, that's mindfulness, around these habits because typically the habits simply become unconscious; they become reactive, they become conditioned and they operate out of consciousness. So the first step must be to bring consciousness back to see those habits very clearly to be able to identify the triggers, whether that's internal thoughts or memories, maybe traumatic memories, or whether it's external triggers.

So we learn to sit with these emotions and with the thoughts that are triggers and not become lost in them and not become overwhelmed. So this is a training process, and mindfulness meditation is fundamentally a training process. Retraining yourself on how to relate to your thoughts and emotions and memories without becoming identified.

The second part of our mindfulness meditation process for healing anxiety and depression is to look at the internal structure of your emotions, and that internal structure is almost always based around imagery. Internal psychological imagery is the primary organizing force that keeps anxiety depression in place. The reactive thoughts, they feed the anxiety, but the anxiety itself is maintained through internal imagery.

So this is how emotions heal. They will have to undergo some form of image transformational reprocessing in order to fully heal, for the emotional content to really change. So we basically speed up this process by really examining that imagery in detail and then exploring in great detail how to change the imagery and find what it is that helps the imagery and the emotion resolve itself and heal.

So working with imagery is extremely important. It's a fundamental part of mindfulness-based psychology and psychotherapy.

If you would like to learn more about online mindfulness-based therapy for overcoming anxiety and depression and OCD and also for working with PTSD then please do contact me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session.

So I offer therapy via Skype worldwide. All you need is an Internet connection and we can schedule our Skype Therapy sessions. Skype Therapy is very effective, in general, because you can see each other. It's many times more effective than chat-based therapy or email therapy because those don't have this visual component.

If you use Skype and you can see each other there is really no difference whatsoever in the effectiveness of online therapy compared to meeting a therapist in person. And in many cases I would argue from my experience that Skype Therapy can be more effective because it is much more comfortable for you. It's less intimidating. It has less that clinical feel to it which is not good because it makes you feel like a victim. And that's not going to help the process of recovery.

So especially if you're suffering from an anxiety disorder, Skype Therapy is a very good choice for you to consider.

So please contact me if you'd like to get started with me. Most of my clients see results in a very short time. Often after three or four sessions people see and experience big changes in the intensity of their anxiety and depression. They feel much more empowered, much more able to do things that they weren't able to do before. They feel more in control. That's the whole aim here is to restore that sense of being in control of your happiness and well-being.

ONLINE THERAPY FOR AGORAPHOBIA VIA SKYPE

If you are suffering from social anxiety, also know as social phobia or agoraphobia, which is the more extreme form of social anxiety disorder, then you know how challenging it can be to find a therapist to work with. The challenge of leaving the security of your home to attend your therapy session may be too difficult for you to contemplate. This is why I provide online therapy for social anxiety disorders.

If you would like to learn more about Online Therapy sessions for Agoraphobia and Social Anxiety Disorder, please visit my website and contact me.

The style of therapy that I provide for anxiety is called Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches you specific ways of working with your emotions so that you do not become overwhelmed by them. You can learn much more about this approach by visiting my website.

I welcome your inquiries and I look forward to meeting you and helping you break free from social anxiety, social phobia and agoraphobia.

The first session can be quite significant in getting you started on your road to recovery, so please contact me to schedule a Skype therapy session now. There is no charge unless you are completely satisfied with the first session.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer mindfulness-based online psychotherapy for agoraphobia, anxiety disorders 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.

Online Therapist for help with Agoraphobia via Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I provide online therapy via Skype. So if you're suffering from agoraphobia then Skype therapy can be a wonderful opportunity for you to get the help that you need to uncover these awful habitual patterns of reactivity that keep you imprisoned in your home or in a very restricted area.

So it's very important to find a way of overcoming these habitual anxiety reactions and I have been developing an approach that's called Mindfulness Therapy that's very effective for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders.

Whatever style of psychotherapy you select, it's important that you find one that's very practical, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty, and whatever approach you use must include some form of exposure therapy that enables you to start pushing those boundaries out to start overcoming your habitual anxiety reactions.

So I've developed a system called mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia, which works extremely well and is very easy to learn via Skype. I will teach you how to approach your anxiety using mindfulness techniques that you can practice yourself and start to push back those boundaries.

So typically I see people once a week and then they practice the methods that I teach between sessions, and you should expect to see significant changes and improvements after the first three or four weeks.

Once you start applying the methods I will teach you, you will rapidly overcome your anxiety and start to break free from the prison of habitual anxiety.

So the online therapy option of course is very beneficial if not completely necessary if you're suffering from agoraphobia because it's so difficult for you to leave home or travel to see a therapist in their office; it's often impossible.

So if you would like to learn more about Skype therapy for agoraphobia, then do please contact me. Just ask me any questions you have; anything that you want to discuss about this approach. I'm happy to answer questions.

When you're ready though, let's schedule a trial session. I offer a no risk policy. That is that if you don't like the session, you don't like this approach or it doesn't feel right for you, then there's no charge. There's certainly no upfront charge for my sessions. The sessions are based entirely on your satisfaction with the results. So you pay after each session but on condition that you are happy with the results of that session. So it's a no risk approach and I think that's very important.

So if you would like to schedule a trial session with me and get started on a treatment plan that will help you overcome your anxiety and allow you to develop greater freedom from agoraphobia, then do please contact me and we can get started.

I see people throughout North America, but also in Western Europe as well. I am from the UK originally. I now live in Colorado but I see people all over the world and especially people who want to take a very practical and focused approach to working with their anxiety. In my opinion Mindfulness Therapy is one of the most effective approaches there is, followed by CBT. So please contact me if you'd like to get started.

Agoraphobia Therapy Online

Teletherapy for Agoraphobia through Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I provide online therapy by Skype for the treatment of anxiety disorders, including agoraphobia. So if you're looking for teletherapy for agoraphobia, then I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the online therapy service that I offer.

All my sessions are done via Skype. That is quite important. You must be able to see each other in order to have a successful psychotherapy experience. Being able to see each other means that the sessions will be much more effective in helping you learn how to work with your anxiety. So that's the primary focus of these teletherapy sessions. I will teach you very practical mindfulness-based methods that I have developed and found to be very effective for overcoming anxiety and panic attacks and basically allowing you to recover from the very debilitating effects of agoraphobia.

The primary method that I will teach you during the online sessions is called mindfulness-based exposure therapy. And this is where we design a series of exposures that might be quite simple to begin with and then progressively more difficult that you then practice yourself at home between sessions.

The mindfulness part of this practice is preparing before you do each challenge. So if it's, for example, walking to a local shop or going into a mall or even driving your car for a short period, then you basically, will run through that challenge in your imagination, you'll visualize doing that challenge and specifically look for any anxiety reactions that may occur. When you find those anxiety reactions you then start to work with them using the methods of Mindfulness Therapy, which I will teach you during these sessions.

But primarily the idea here is that you train yourself to heal those anxiety reactions before you do the exposure challenge. That's the important principle here. You have to train with that anxiety to neutralize it before you do the challenge. When you've done that, when you've neutralized that anxiety reaction so you can imagine doing that challenge without feeling any anxiety, then when you do the exposure challenge that will reinforce this new perception, this new way of processing the particular triggers that are associated with that challenge.

So, for example, one person that I worked with for a few months was not able to leave the house at all. She could not leave the front door, the thought of that was completely overwhelming. The anxiety was totally preventing her stepping outside the front door.

So the mindfulness-based exposure therapy is about having her imagine her stepping out side the front door, whether it's one or two feet, it doesn't matter. But we designed that challenge. We then imagine doing it. We look for that anxiety and then we start to develop a mindful relationship with that anxiety that is based on compassion and is based on a very strong non-reactive relationship with the emotion itself.

So the real problem is that when anxiety gets triggered it, it tends to proliferate. It triggers more anxiety through reactive thoughts and that simply feeds the anxiety and it stops it from healing. But when you can sit with that anxiety and not react, then you're not feeding that anxiety and it begins to diminish in intensity. The more that you can sit with it without reacting the less intense it beccomes.

And when you've done this in a very focused way, by actually deliberately bringing your mindful attention to that anxiety, that rate of neutralizing the anxiety greatly increases. So this is what we do before we do the challenge. We work with the anxiety, learning to be with it without reacting and learning to relate to that anxiety with compassion. That is, how can you help that anxiety feel more comfortable? You learn how to comfort the emotion in the same way that you might comfort a child, for example, that was afraid. How would you do that? You would establish a conscious, non-reactive relationship with the child. This is what we need to do internally. We need to establish this quality of non-reactive, compassionate relationship with our anxiety.

That is what will allow that anxiety to heal much more than any other methods and certainly more than trying to struggle through the anxiety. That approach tends to reinforce the anxiety yet again because it's providing evidence of how difficult it is to step outside the front door.

We want to be able to imagine stepping outside the front door with no anxiety at all. Then once you do that, it now establishes a new experience that becomes learned and well established in the mind and in the brain as a new learned pathway, that stepping outside the front door is no longer a source of anxiety.

And then you would move on to the next challenge, which might be walking to the street. And so on. So we work in is very focused and strategic way. This is what is called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy and it's very, very effective. It's much more effective than traditional exposure therapy. It's completely different than talk therapy in the conventional sense. Trying to understand your anxiety and trying to convince yourself that you don't need to experience the anxiety, that it's irrational. That kind of approach, in my experience, is practically totally ineffective.

What does work is when you gain the actual experience. First in the mind through imaginational exposure, if you like, and then in the actual exposure, afterwards. That experience is what produces the changes.

So if you'd like to learn more about teletherapy for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders using Skype, then do please look at my website and contact me if you have any questions.

We can schedule a Skype therapy session and you can see for yourself how this works. Most people see quite substantial improvements after the first two or three sessions once you start learning and applying the mindfulness approach that I that I will teach you. It's very, very effective. So please contact me if you would like to learn how to overcome your anxiety and apply this kind of methodology. Thank you.
