Ask any questions you might have about how online therapy can help you. And of course tell me specifically about the kind of issues that you are dealing with and I'd be happy to explain to you how we can help you overcome your anxiety by using Mindfulness Therapy techniques.
So during Mindfulness Therapy sessions I will teach you how to change the the impact of anxiety on your well-being.
The most common problem that we have to address is the problem of reactive identification. This is where you essentially become identified with your anxiety or other emotions.
During mindfulness training we learn how to effectively meditate on our anxiety with out becoming consumed by it. You learn to form a non-reactive relationship with your anxiety by deliberately training with it.
Of course our habit is usually to avoid our anxiety, to try to escape from it, to try and medicate it, which is simply yet another form of escape or avoidance. Or we become lost in the anxiety through reactive identification.
What we need to do is to train with your anxiety and effectively form a relationship with it whereby you stop that habit of feeding it through identification or other forms of reactivity.
When you can do that then you can begin to change that anxiety habit, and anxiety is at the end of the day a habit, it is simply a conditioned reaction that has become unconscious that gets triggered over and over again, and we are trying to break that unconscious habits by focusing mindful awareness upon the habit.
When we break the habit of feeding the anxiety day then you can help it change. And we do this by a variety of mindfulness-based techniques, perhaps the most important one being the response of compassion. This is where we develop a compassionate relationship with the anxiety or other emotion itself. We actually learn to comfort that internal fear, which is what anxiety is.
We learn to relate to our emotions in the same way that we might relate to a child or another friend that's in need, that's in pain. We learn to form a compassionate relationship with the anxiety. We learn to hold it in our compassionate embrace, and that is basically what we mean by mindfulness. Being mindful of anxiety means to stay conscious with it and then respond to it in a compassionate way that helps that anxiety heal.
One of the most important parts of the compassionate response is actually looking at the imagery of the anxiety and changing that imagery.
I can explain this to you in more detail during our first session together, if you choose to contact me and schedule an online therapy session.
Working with the imagery of anxiety is immensely powerful. This is why for example, we typically describe anxiety as being overwhelming. It's overwhelming because the imagery is very large and has a position above us in our internal psychological imagery. That's how we see the emotion: being very large, being very consuming and generally at a high level. It has to be at a high level to overwhelm you.
So this internal emotional imagery operates habitually, unconsciously, without our knowing about it. But once we start exploring it through mindfulness then we begin to uncover this imagery. And when you make it conscious you can then change that imagery. And when you change the imagery of any emotion you change that emotion directly, because that imagery is required to make that emotion.
So working on changing your relationship to anxiety so that you do not feed it through unconscious reactivity is essential, but then exploring and changing the unconscious imagery of the anxiety is also essential and I will teach you exactly how to do this during our online therapy sessions together.
So if you'd like to learn more simply contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself just how effective this mindfulness approach can be for healing anxiety. Thank you.

Standard counseling can be beneficial, but often common talk therapy does not alter the underlying psychological process that is the real cause of your depression or anxiety.
This also applies to the use of medications - the antidepressant may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to change the underlying process that produces the emotional pain.
The type of psychotherapy that I teach online is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be quite powerful for overcoming anxiety as well as for treating chronic depression or other emotional problems resulting from conditioned negative thinking. Most people see significant reduction in the level of anxiety and depression after the first couple of sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression, OCD and many other common emotional psychological problems. As an online therapist for anxiety I specialize in teaching mindfulness skills for managing the anxiety and the reactive thinking that supports the anxiety.
Mindfulness therapy is extremely effective for helping you break free from those automatic habitual patterns of reactive thinking that fuel anxiety and panic attacks and other anxiety disorders. When we learn how to apply mindfulness we actually learn to sit with our emotions, we learn to meditate on our emotions. So, I will teach you exactly how to do this, how to sit with your anxiety, how to meditate on your anxiety, without becoming overwhelmed by it and without becoming reactive. This is the essential training that's needed to change the habits of reactive anxiety.
The real problem is that we simply are not conscious of this habit of becoming caught up in reactive thinking we get lost in patterns of worrying, of rumination and excessive thinking, which simply feeds the anxiety. But with mindfulness training you learn how to become an observer. You learn how to sit with the emotions and with the thoughts without becoming lost in them, without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming essentially controlled by your emotions or your thoughts. This process it isn't quite easy to learn if you get good guidance. You have to learn how to meditate on your emotions. Common mindfulness meditation practices usually involve meditating on the breath and this is a good relaxation exercise, but it will not really help you with your anxiety.
You have to meditate on the cause of your anxiety, which is your relationship to your emotions and your thoughts. If that relationship is unconscious then your emotions and thoughts will govern you, you will be controlled by them. They'll be little choice.
But once you start to develop more consciousness around the anxiety and the thoughts then you begin to break free from them. You begin to neutralize the effects of emotions and thoughts on you.

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.

Medications may provide temporary relief from the intense emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks but medications do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. That underlying cause is mostly a product of unresolved emotional trauma and habitual reactive thinking that feeds the anxiety. We must change these causes to successfully recover from anxiety and panic attacks as well as depression and other forms of emotional suffering.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist based in Colorado and I specialize in mindfulness therapy which I offer online for the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, and PTSD (that's one of my particular interests) and many other psychological emotional-problems that are caused by reactive habitual thinking or unresolved emotional trauma.
If you would like to learn how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks through online therapy and you would like to learn how to overcome anxiety disorders without using medications, then please go to my website and learn more about online mindfulness therapy. In my opinion this is one of the most effective ways of treating anxiety without using medication.
It works on changing the underlying cause of your anxiety and panic attacks, as well as depression or other emotional conditions. That underlying cause is what needs to be transformed and healed if you want to really recover from anxiety or panic attacks.
Medications don't treat anxiety and panic attacks. They only relieve symptoms and that symptom relief is short term. It's just a bandaid. It's not really changing the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety or panic attacks.
So, in mindfulness therapy we recognize that the key to overcoming any emotional suffering is to actually develop a conscious and friendly relationship with your emotional pain. Your biggest enemies are avoidance and aversion. When there is avoidance, that basically causes the anxiety to get bigger. When there is aversion, that causes you to get smaller in relationship to your anxiety.
So this is why we understand in mindfulness teachings the importance of friendliness or love, because when you relate to emotional suffering with love you get bigger and the emotion gets smaller, it actually starts to heal itself, when that relationship is well established.
So, the path to healing anxiety and panic attacks, also depression and other forms of emotional trauma, is to build a very strong friendly and non-reactive relationship with those underlying emotions. When you do that you create the right internal conditions that promote healing, and that healing is a natural process that is built in to the anxiety or the depression. It is already trying to heal itself to come back to equilibrium. Unfortunately we tend to get in the way of the natural healing through reactivity such as avoidance and aversion.
So, if you'd like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety and panic attacks without medication, please go to my website and then email me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session, and you will see for yourself just how effective mindfulness therapy can be for healing anxiety and depression. Thank you.
