Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders.
So mindfulness is an extremely powerful form of conscious awareness that can really make all the difference if you're struggling with anxiety.
So I specialize in teaching mindfulness methods and techniques for overcoming anxiety and I do this online. So if you're interested in talking to an online therapist for anxiety then please contact me and schedule a few online therapy sessions.
The mindfulness approach, as I say, is very powerful indeed and what it fundamentally does is it breaks you out of those unconscious reactive habits that create your anxiety.
So anxiety is best described as a habit rather than some sort of medical disorder. I think that's the wrong approach if you want to overcome anxiety. If you want to just suppress symptoms then you might use a medical approach and ant anxiety medications. But that's not what I advocate, because it does not really address the underlying cause of your anxiety and that is these accumulated unconscious habits, psychological habits that create anxiety.
And during Mindfulness Therapy we look very carefully at these inner habits. We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety so we can examine it in great detail and see how it works. You look for the triggers, first of all. What are the specific triggers that trigger anxiety reactions? Then we look at what happens in the mind as we replay these triggers during our meditation.
Typically most people see that what really gets triggered in the mind is imagery, some form of internal psychological imagery that has a strong emotional charge. That imagery is what really causes the anxiety. So the trigger triggers the imagery in the mind out of habit and that imagery then triggers the emotion.
So when we meditate on our anxiety we look for this imagery and the more that you see of the details of that imagery the more you can change, because when you see the imagery in the mind consciously, then you're able to change it, you are able to help that imagery change.
For example, very commonly, people say to me that they feel overwhelmed by their anxiety. Well that tells me straightaway that the anxiety imagery is very large. It's also probably above you, it is high in your visual field, the way you see it and the mind. You don't see it on the floor, you see it above you.
Now it has to be above you to be overwhelming. It also has to be very large to be overwhelming. And by that same reasoning, it cannot be overwhelming if it is on the floor, and it cannot be overwhelming if you make it the size of a grain of sand.
So that imagery really defines our emotions. Typically we don't see that imagery because we don't look. Well, during Mindfulness Therapy we do look. We look very closely at the structure of our anxiety to see this imagery and then we explore changing it. We explore changing its size, its position, spatial position, perhaps its color, perhaps its texture.
Typically, when people look at the imagery of anxiety they will usually see red or orange colors. That seems to resonate with the feeling of fear or anxiety. If you are looking at the imagery of depression you would probably not see red or orange, but more likely black or grey or dark purple. Those are very common colors. Again those are part of the structure that creates the emotion.
Just because the emotion has a certain color or a certain size or position it does not mean that it has to stay in the configuration. It only shows up in that way because of habit. So when you bring mindfulness to that habit you bring choice and you can start to change the imagery, and when you change the imagery of anxiety you will diffuse the emotion; you will effectively neutralize it. And it is possible to then sit and examine those triggers, to bring them into the mind, and not experience anxiety. So that's all part of Mindfulness Therapy and that's what I teach online. And it works extremely well.
So if you want to get help from an online therapist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety using mindfulness, then please contact me and let us schedule some Skype Therapy sessions.

I welcome inquiries from people who are interested in working with me, learning how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation (vipassana) for overcoming anxiety and depression and other forms of emotional suffering (called dukkha in Buddhist psychology).
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.
Overcoming anxiety through mindfulness is a very effective approach and it is often quite easy to get established in a practice where you learn how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety or panic attacks and this is what I teach during online therapy sessions, which I offer via Skype.
If you're interested in learning how to overcome anxiety or depression using mindfulness then please go to my website and send me an email and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and to get started with mindfulness-based therapy.
The most important thing we learn when we're applying mindfulness to overcome anxiety is to change our relationship to our anxiety and also to the thoughts that feed that anxiety. Typically people have a very unconscious relationship, a very habitual relationship with their anxiety. They tend to identify with it. They tend to react to it with avoidance or some form of aversion, self-criticism, self-hatred for having anxiety. These kind of reactions, these habitual forms of reactivity, have the undesired effect of strengthening the anxiety.
So to overcome anxiety you need to change your relationship to these emotions and to the thoughts that support these emotions, and we learn how to do that during mindfulness training. We learn how to sit with our emotions and with our thoughts without reacting. That is the key first principle of mindfulness therapy and training.
We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety and this is what makes the difference. When you learn to develop a non-reactive relationship with your emotions, that effectively creates the right conditions whereby they start to heal.
But we take it further than that because mindfulness is not just about becoming more aware and less reactive. It's also about developing a level of friendliness or love towards your own emotions and thoughts. Love is a very powerful healing force and when you can actually make friends with your emotions then you will increase the rate of healing by a huge factor.
So if you're interested in learning more about how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation for healing anxiety or depression, for overcoming painful emotions, then please go to my website and send me an email and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype, in which I will teach you how to work with your emotions using mindfulness. Thank you.

Please email me if you'd like to schedule a Skype therapy session for using mindfulness to manage anxiety.
I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome anxiety. This approach is very very effective. It's designed to teach you mindfulness-based methods for working with reactive thoughts and with your emotions themselves. We have to learn how to control habitual reactive thinking because that's one of the main factors that fuels anxiety.
So that's very important, but we also use mindfulness to work on the emotions themselves. You learn to meditate on your anxiety. This is the most effective way to heal the anxiety. We don't want to just put up with it. We don't want to indulge it. We want to heal it and there's no better method than learning how to meditate on your anxiety. So I'll teach you how to do that during these online therapy sessions.

VISIT MY CONTACT PAGE ME TO LEARN HOW TO START SKYPE THERAPY WITH ME FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY and PANIC ATTACKS
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and panic attacks and also for working with depression and addictions and also for OCD.
So I'm often asked what is the best treatment for anxiety and panic attacks. Well from my experience over the years it's quite clear to me that the best treatment there is Mindfulness Therapy, that is learning how to apply mindfulness to work with your anxiety and help that anxiety heal.
So the primary job in mindfulness therapy is healing the underlying fear and anxiety. So we go about this in a number of ways. The first most important principle that I will teach you during our sessions together is how to disengage ourselves from the reactive habitual thoughts, such as worrying and rumination and patterns of negativity, that feeds the anxiety. This is something we do by developing mindful awareness to see those reactive thoughts very clearly and to break the habit of blindly identifying with them.
Thoughts in themselves are not the problem and they are not the cause of anxiety. But if we become identified with them then they become a powerful fuel that feeds anxiety, so the first job in our path of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks is to isolate these thoughts, to see them very clearly to find those habitual thoughts that feed our anxiety.
When we find these thoughts we do not try to get rid of them. We do not try to let go of those thoughts. That of course is a pointless exercise. They will simply return again. What we have to do is focus on helping those thoughts heal themselves, to basically resolve themselves, so that they do not repeat and come back again.
So we do this by learning to develop our capacity has the Observer of those thoughts. So the more we become the Observer, the less identified we become with the thoughts. And this basically neutralizes that habitual pattern of identification, which causes the thoughts to proliferate and feed the underlying anxiety.
So we learn to sit with our thoughts, with our anxiety producing thoughts, without becoming identified and without becoming reactive. We take this a stage further. We not only sit with them and develop non-reactivity, or equanimity as it's called, which is one of the principal features of mindfulness, but we also develop compassion and friendliness towards these anxiety thoughts. This is where the real healing occurs.
So compassion is another essential component of mindfulness. If there is no compassion it is not mindfulness; also if there is no clear conscious non-reactive awareness there is not mindfulness. The two together are what constitute mindfulness.
So we learn to be present with our anxiety thoughts and then we learn to respond to them with compassion, really helping those thoughts heal. And this then starts to establish healing pathways in the mind that heal the underlying anxiety. You are taking away the fuel and then we're helping the anxiety heal. This is the primary mission in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and panic attacks.
So the practical way that we go about doing this is to develop our skills in mindfulness meditation, where we meditate on the anxiety. We meditate in order to build a better quality relationship with the anxiety and its thoughts that is based on conscious awareness that is non-reactive and compassion that helps heal those reactive thoughts.
So when we stop avoiding our anxiety and panic attacks through medication, but rather really focus on developing a conscious and compassionate relationship with our anxiety then the rate of healing greatly increases. And most people that I work with start to see dramatic changes in the level of their anxiety within a few weeks of practicing the mindfulness methods, including mindfulness meditation, that I will teach you in great detail during our online therapy sessions together.
So if you are interested in learning how to effectively overcome anxiety and panic attacks, then I invite you to contact me and let's schedule a session. You will see changes even after that very first session when you start to understand how to work with your emotions, how to work with them directly rather than escaping from them or trying to avoid them in some way, which will be not productive in the long-run.
