Online Therapist for the Treatment of Anxiety via Skype
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.

So, online therapy is a very good option indeed for treating anxiety and depression and other common emotional problems that basically are the result of habitual reactive thinking.
So, anxiety is a classic example of this, where we become, essentially, identified with patterns of reactive thinking that proliferates and feeds the underlying anxiety. So, technically anxiety thoughts don't cause anxiety but they do feed the emotion of anxiety. So learning to work with reactive thoughts is a very important part of overcoming anxiety.
I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly focused on helping you control habitual reactive thoughts.
If you'd like to learn more about this and you're interested in online therapy then do go to my website and contact me with any questions you may have.

Online Treatment for Anxiety via Skype
Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety through Skype
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder Colorado and I offer online psychotherapy for anxiety via Skype.
So if you're interested in learning more about online therapy for treating anxiety disorders, whether that's generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, or if you have a problem with recurrent panic attacks, or if you suffer from driving anxiety disorder or a phobia in general, then please go to my website and learn more about this online psychotherapy service that I offer.
If you're interested in online psychotherapy you should check that the therapist is able to provide sessions via Skype. I believe it's essential that you are able to see each other as well as speak to each other, because this greatly improves the effectiveness of communication. And that's a very important fact when you're working with difficult emotional conditions like anxiety and panic attacks or depression, or even for work with addiction.
Many people like online therapy because it's clearly more convenient. And if you're living abroad or in a rural area you might find it difficult to find a local therapist that you want to work with.
People like the greater privacy also offered by online psychotherapy. It means that you can conduct your sessions from home and in the privacy of your own environment. And that's quite important for a lot of people. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable talking about our emotional problems. If it's an addiction it's often very difficult to talk about that in a more public setting. Being able to talk about your anxiety online is much less intimidating for most people. So that's one of one of the additional benefits of online therapy via Skype.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy and this is a particular approach that I developed many years ago now that has proven to be incredibly effective for helping people manage anxiety disorders.
It's a technique that uses mindfulness. Mindfulness is simply a way of focusing conscious attention on emotions and on thoughts and memories and other components of the mind. It's a way of becoming conscious without becoming overwhelmed or consumed or lost in anxiety or depression or any other emotional formation.
We have to build a conscious relationship with our emotions. That is an absolute requirement for them to change, in my opinion. Talking about your anxiety can provide temporary relief but it's seldom as good as actually building an internal relationship with your anxiety in which you spend more time, if you like, listening to it rather than reacting to it or trying to explain it away or trying to understand it. All of these forms of cognitive processing are really taking you away from the emotion itself.
We create a safe space around our anxiety and we begin to explore how that anxiety works. One of the most important things we first focus on is the constellation of reactive thoughts that feeds that anxiety.
So anxiety tends to lead to proliferation of anxiety-based thinking. And this in turn feeds the underlying anxiety and creates this vicious feedback loop that stops the anxiety healing. So the first part of mindfulness is all about learning to see these reactive thoughts and breaking the unconscious habits of becoming lost in those thoughts. So we're not indulging the anxiety. Instead with simply creating a conscious and non-reactive relationship with it.
The second thing that we focus on in great detail during Mindfulness Therapy is looking at the internal imagery of the emotion. And this might be a new concept to you, but if you think about it you will begin to realize that all emotions are based around imagery.
So if you'd like to learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype for your anxiety do please email me and tell me more about how I can help you. And then when you feel ready we can schedule a session.
You will see in the very first session just how powerful this approach can be and most people see changes after the very first session, when you start applying the mindfulness methods that I'll teach you on how to work with your anxiety.
So please contact me if you'd like to get started.

How do you learn to be more at ease when you have bad anxiety?
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional mindfulness based psychotherapist, living in Colorado USA, and I offer online Mindfulness Therapy worldwide for the treatment of anxiety and depression and other common psychological problems that respond well to mindfulness based psychotherapy.
I'm often asked how to overcome anxiety, how to deal with anxiety that's chronic and affecting the quality of my life. These kind of questions are very common indeed. Anxiety is a big problem and affects a huge number of people worldwide. And it's something that responds really well to mindfulness therapy.
So in mindfulness therapy we don't just talk about our anxiety, we don't just talk about our feelings, but rather we focus on looking at how they actually work, looking at how we produce anxiety or depression or any other form of emotional suffering. We look at the internal psychological mechanism, the habits that create anxiety.
We look at the patterns of reactive thinking that feed the anxiety, and particularly we work on changing our relationship to these reactive habitual thoughts so that they don't control us, so that they cease to dictate how we feel.
So thoughts don't cause anxiety, that is a common misconception, but they do feed anxiety if the emotion is already present.
So habitual reactive thinking is like a fuel that feeds the fire of anxiety. So learning to break the habit of reactive thinking is, of course, very important. It's like taking the fuel away from the fire.
And if you take the fuel away from any fire, the fire burns itself out, and that same principle applies very much to anxiety and depression and other kinds of psychological emotional conditions. They require a network of habitual reactive thoughts to feed them. And when we can begin to break free from that nexus of reactive thoughts we begin to starve the emotion of its fuel. And that's a very important part of the healing process and recovery process.
So we spend a lot of time learning how to work with thoughts and we learn how to develop more consciousness around the thoughts. That's the most important thing because most habitual thoughts are conditioned. They simply operate unconsciously on auto pilot. And we have to break free from this unconscious habit.
So we do that by actually bringing more consciousness to our thoughts. We watch our thoughts. We learn to see them in the mind and learn to see how they get triggered and then we change our relationship to them and we break free from the emotional reaction that they habitually trigger. So we train with thoughts. That's the first part of working with our emotions.
The second part is working with the imagery of the emotions. And this is perhaps less familiar to you, but it's important to understand that all emotions are based on internal psychological imagery. How you see that emotion in the mind is what dictates its strengths. And we need to look at this imagery and then, of course, see if we can change it. Changing the emotional imagery is the second part of mindfulness therapy for anxiety.
When you put these two together you have a very powerful combination. And most people see dramatic changes in the intensity and the frequency of their anxiety once they start applying the mindfulness methods that I will teach you. I expect all my clients to see substantial improvements within the first three or four sessions. It does not take a long time to learn how to change the underlying habits that cause your anxiety or depression or OCD, or even for working with recovery from emotional trauma.
The same principles apply. Emotional trauma, PTSD, is characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts and recurrent intrusive imagery, and we need to change both of these aspects to fully recover from emotional trauma or PTSD.
If you would like to learn more about online therapy using mindfulness for overcoming anxiety, then please go to my website. Send me an email if you would like to schedule a session with me. You will see big changes after the first session, and that will be a good way to evaluate how effective mindfulness therapy can be for overcoming anxiety and other common emotional problems. So if you'd like to get started please email me.
