Mindfulness Meditation for Anxiety

The common view is that meditation is for escaping our anxiety and stress, of going to a relaxed state of consciousness that is free from anxiety-producing thoughts, stress and worry. But nothing can be further from the truth.

Using meditation as an escape from anxiety is actually nothing more than another avoidance technique which itself is based on fear - trying to get away from unpleasant feelings is a form of aversion, based on fear. Avoidance is a classic form or cognitive reactivity, along with behavioral reactivity like seeking diversions, listening to relaxing music, indulging in overeating and other forms of substance abuse. 

But the fact is that all forms of reactivity simply reinforce the underlying unresolved anxiety because all reactivity is a manifestation of fear.

Mindfulness meditation is not about trying to empty the mind of anxiety thoughts and fears but rather a deliberate process of changing the realationship that we have with our anxiety and stress. with our thoughts and emotions.

Meditation is about developing freedom from the compulsive identification that we have developed out of blind habit with our thoughts and emotions. 

Thoughts and emotions are not the problem, blind unconscious reactive identification is the problem and meditation is the effort to overcome this blind identification.

How do we do that?

By deliberately meditating on our anxiety. Yes. We make the anxiety the primary object of our meditation and work on cultivating a relationship with our anxiety that is built on consciousness and love. This combination is what we mean by "mindfulness" and its nature is one of opening to experience rather than reacting to experience out of blind habit. Mindfulness is the very oposite of avoidance and aversion.

Developing a friendly and compassionate relationship with our anxiety and negative thoughts is the essence of meditation; cultivating non-identification with thoughts and emotional reactions is meditation. It is through establishing this mindful relationship with our mind that we gain real and lasting freedom and by not reacting we create the right conditions for healing.

In practice we meditate on our anxiety (same for dpression) to uncover the habitual reactions that take away our freedom and peace of mind and we turn each and every one of these into objects to meditate on until we are free and the anxiety heals.

Reactivity prevents healing; mindfulness meditation emhances healing.

Through meditating on our emotions we gain more and more freedom and cause more and more healing. We become the "healer of our afflictions" instead of being the victim of our suffering. This is the goal of mindfulness meditation (vipassana).

Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"Before my sessions with Dr Peter Strong, I suffered from depression. No matter what I tried, I got nowhere. It was like running around in a circle, I felt trapped.

In the first session, I found out my main problem; resisting and avoiding emotions. A few sessions later, I clearly noticed the difference in me. By mindfully accepting negative feelings, they are released and eventually replaced by positive ones.

I am a happier person now and have achieved much more in life. Enjoying life to the fullest!

Thank you Peter…"

During these sessions I will teach you how to use mindfulness for recovering from all forms of anxiety, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, persistent depression, and for help with and other emotional problems, by using the well-tested teachings of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.

Online Help for Anxiety - Talk to an Online Therapist

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I provide an anxiety chat online help service through Skype where you can get the help that you might be looking for for managing anxiety, panic attacks, OCD and other forms of emotional suffering, including depression. 

So during this chat therapy service I will be teaching you mindfulness-based methods for working with your anxiety. The challenge is to prevent the habit of becoming overwhelmed and automatically identified with anxiety reactions and thought reactions that get triggered in the mind. This is by far the central problem that we address during mindfulness training. 

We tend to become overwhelmed. We tend to become caught up in anxiety based thinking, and it happens automatically in a conditioned way without our choice or without any sense of control. During mindfulness training we gain control by actually focusing conscious awareness on those emotional and thought habits themselves. 

The more you see them, the freer you become from their grip the less they become habitual and when they break that compulsive blind quality of habitual reactivity then the emotions and thought patterns begin to dissolve by themselves. This is a very effective and well-tested method of working with anxiety. You focus your conscious attention on the anxiety but learning not to react to the anxiety. 

It is like learning to maintain balance. Say on the edge of the river, in order to maintain and strengthen your balance so you don't fall into the river, you have to actually practice walking on the bank of the river. 

And this is the way it is for any form of learning, you have to actually engage with the challenges that cause you to go off balance. Same applies to developing strength through going into a gym, where you need to strengthen the muscle groups in order to be able to run the marathon or whatever you might want to do. 

You have to work specifically on strengthening those muscles that are habitually weak. It's the same with anxiety. Anxiety is simply a learned habits and the habit can be overcome by purposefully facing your anxiety. Not arguing with it, not trying to suppress the anxiety, not trying to convince yourself that you don't need to feel anxiety. Those approaches are very, very limited in their effectiveness. 

The real effective way to overcome anxiety, as I say, is to learn to stand your ground in the face of anxiety, to learn to maintain your independence in the face of your anxiety, to learn how to maintain freedom in relationship to your anxiety and the reactive thoughts that feed that anxiety. 

So during mindfulness teaching we actually purposefully find the thoughts that create the anxiety, we purposefully find the anxiety itself and we focus mindful attention on those mental objects until you have complete freedom and balance.

How to get rid of anxiety without using medication 

Mindfulness Therapy is a modern form of CBT that helps you break free from habitual negative thinking and teaches you how to defuse painful emotions, including traumatic memories, anxiety, panic attacks and depression and the compulsive emotions of an addiction.

CONTACT ME if you would like to learn more and schedule an online therapy session.

This Online Counseling Service is available world-wide, wherever you live.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional psychotherapist, specializing in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer online via Skype.

Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with anxiety, depression or addictions. Basically, it is a way of changing those habitual thought patterns that sustain your anxiety or depression, and defusing the emotion underneath the reactive thinking that fuels that thinking.

So, we work at two levels, if you like, the cognitive level, as we might do in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, and also at the emotional level. So Mindfulness Therapy is a way of, essentially, learning how to become less reactive, more free, more responsive and better able to deal with the triggers and challenges of your life.

So, basically, the way we do this is that we identify those reactive thoughts and the emotion underneath the thought and then we build a Mindfulness-Based Relationship with these thoughts; we actually learn to meditate on the thoughts and emotions themselves. Rather than trying to push them away or avoid them we actually invite them into our awareness and sit with them as if you were sitting with a friend or a child. You establish a relationship based on consciousness, conscious awareness, and the quality of friendliness.

So, Mindfulness Therapy brings this quality of conscious awareness and compassion, or friendliness, to an art, and this is what creates the right conditions for emotions to change, and what allows us to break free from those patterns of negative reactive thinking that are fueled by those emotions. We have to learn how to sit with our emotions, make friends with them and actually care for them.

Most of us are not used to this idea of actually caring for our painful emotions or caring for our negative thoughts. Our impulse is to try and get rid of them, but that will not work, as you know. If you try to get rid of negative thoughts, of negative beliefs, of negative feelings, they simply get stronger, and if you try to avoid them they simply chase after you.

What actually does make the change possible is when you stop fighting them and running away from them, but actually meditate on them. You choose to be very present in an open way with this combination of conscious awareness and friendliness that we call mindfulness. When you do that, then you stop feeding those reactive thoughts, beliefs or painful memories. When you stop feeding them through reactivity, then they begin to change, they begin to heal, they begin to transform themselves in that place of non-reactive awareness that we establish through the Mindfulness-Based Relationship that we have with them.

So, this is a very effective method, in deed, especially for working with anxiety and for overcoming depression, and it's a very good way of neutralizing those compulsive impulses that we experience in addiction and other forms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD.

So, if you would like to learn more about this approach, this Mindfulness Therapy approach to healing and transforming anxiety, depression, addictions and other emotional problems, please email me and then we can schedule an online therapy session via Skype.

Most people see quite dramatic changes in very few sessions. Typically after 2-3 sessions you will notice very dramatic changes in the level of anxiety or depression and in the frequency of negative thinking.

So, if you are interested in learning more about this approach, please CONTACT ME and schedule an online therapy session. Thank you!
