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. The real problem for most people suffering from anxiety is that the anxiety reactions become habitual reactions and operate unconsciously. We have to restore conscious awareness to overcome any kind of habit, including 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.

Welcome. If you'd like to see an online psychotherapist for anxiety, I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the online anxiety therapy service that I offer via Skype.
Many people prefer online therapy to the more conventional in person therapy because it's more convenient, obviously, and it also gives you a greater sense of control over your therapy process, over your recovery from emotional issues that you are dealing with.
Online Therapy is specifically designed to teach you new tools to work with your anxiety and also depression and other common psychological problems. It's designed to teach you how to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety.
The biggest problem that I've come across in my work as a psychotherapist is that people fall into the trap of what is called "reactive identification," that is that they become consumed and overwhelmed by their anxiety or other intense emotions that get triggered.
So anxiety is basically a habit. It is a series of conditioned reactions, habitual conditioned reactions, that are triggered by certain events, with certain thoughts or situations that produce severe anxiety or panic attacks or other forms of anxiety disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder.
Basically, the problem is that we become identified with these emotional reactions and their accompanying thoughts. And this is what we must train to reverse, by working with those thoughts and emotions.
I teach Mindfulness Therapy, which I have been teaching online for over ten years now, and I find that to be by far the most effective way for working with reactive emotions and thoughts. It teaches you how to establish a relationship with your emotions such that you are not overwhelmed by them that you do not become identified with them out of habit.
When you can establish a non-reactive relationship with your anxiety, then you can be much more effective in helping that anxiety heal and resolve itself. So Mindfulness Therapy is very good at doing this, in helping you overcome that habit of identifying with anxiety, and then promoting the right conditions for healing that anxiety.
Most people who I work with online can expect to see significant changes after just three or four sessions with me. The Mindfulness Therapy approach is extremely effective, and I invite you to see for yourself.
So please if you are interested in seeing a psychotherapist online and you would like to try working with an online therapist for help with your anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy, then please go to my website and email me and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype at a time that works for you and for me. Thank you.

Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is one of the most successful psychotherapies available for overcoming anxiety disorders. It has elements of CBT but focuses much more on changing the actual process that creates anxiety and depression in the mind.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist offering Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty and which I talk about in my book, "The Path of Mindfulness Meditation."
If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety through mindfulness meditation, do please go to my website and learn more about this unique approach to overcoming anxiety.
Mindfulness Therapy is particularly effective for anxiety and also for depression, and this is because it teaches you how to change your relationship to your emotions and to your thoughts so that you don't become so easily overwhelmed by recurring patterns of emotional reactivity or intrusive thoughts.
This is the major problem that most people face - is what we often call "rumination" or "automatic reactive thinking" that triggers the underlying emotion of depression or anxiety.
Mindfulness allows us to break free from this automatic process by making it conscious. We begin to see the thoughts as triggers and the moment we see the process happening we can stop it right there and then through becoming conscious of that trigger.
With practice you can learn to see thoughts and emotional reactions as they arise in the mind, but then you are able to stop them turning into anxiety and depression. In this way, we take the fuel away from that underlying anxiety or depression. If you stop feeding the fire of anxiety or depression then the emotion will burn itself out and healing becomes possible.
During Mindfulness Therapy we learn how to actually meditate on our anxiety or depression or other painful emotions. And, it is through this process that you begin to change the whole process that creates the emotional suffering.
If you would like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety or depression using Mindfulness Therapy, please go to my website and CONTACT ME and then we can schedule a therapy session over Skype.
Mindfulness Therapy works really well through online Skype therapy sessions. So, please go to my website and contact me. Thank you!

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.
