Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy for anxiety and also for depression. So if you're looking for real change, that is changing the underlying cause of your anxiety, then I have developed a system called Mindfulness Therapy which is extremely effective. It's the next stage in anxiety treatment after CBT. CBT is a good approach because it helps you work with the actual cause, the mechanism of anxiety, in that case the underlying patterns of reactive thinking.
While Mindfulness Therapy certainly works on helping you break free from reactive thinking, it also helps you change the underlying emotion that is causing that reactive thinking. So in Mindfulness Therapy we take this opposite approach, if you like. We recognize that the emotion precedes the thoughts. If you have anxiety, that anxiety will manifest itself in the form of different anxiety thoughts. Thoughts do not themselves cause anxiety. It's the other way around. However if we become identified with reactive thoughts then that has the effect of feeding the underlying emotion, the underlying anxiety, and then that creates a circle, a positive feedback loop that simply feeds the anxiety and prevents it from subsiding, from healing, so then it becomes ongoing.
So Mindfulness Therapy works very much at the level of the emotion itself, and that the primary way that we heal the underlying anxiety is by changing the relationship that we have with that anxiety. So typically, we have a very poor relationship with our painful emotions, whether that's anxiety or depression or guilt or anger or stress or shame, whatever it might be. We tend to run away from those emotions. We tend to push them away. We develop a fear-based relationship with our anxiety and, of course, if you react to anxiety with more fear then you will feed that anxiety. We typically try to push it away; we develop an inner hatred for that anxiety as well. Well, hatred is simply another form of fear. So again if you develop hatred for your anxiety you'll end up feeding it and preventing it from healing.
So in Mindfulness Therapy we focus on developing a conscious and friendly relationship with our anxiety. This is what has been proven to work over and over again. The better the relationship that you create with your anxiety the quicker it will heal. So the two principal factors in that relationship have to be increased consciousness and increased friendliness or compassion.
So the way we develop increased consciousness of our anxiety is to meditate on that anxiety, to put it in the center of our awareness, our attention, but to observe it as an observer.
So this is equivalent to the exact process that you would do to heal the anxiety of a baby or a child or a hurt animal. You interact in a process based on friendliness and consciousness, not reactivity and fear.
So this is what we need to develop internally, and meditation is the process for doing this. It's not a way of trying to escape your suffering. That's one form of meditation and it's basically wrong as far as I'm concerned. So real meditation is about taking care of real problems, and your emotions, if they are suffering, they're in a state of pain, they need your consciousness and compassion. They need you to meditate on them so you can help them change and heal.
So developing this an internal relationship based on consciousness and compassion is vital. If you do that effectively then your anxiety will heal quite quickly even if you've been suffering from the anxiety for many years. Once you start to change your relationship to it, it will heal very quickly. You can overcome generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic attacks, OCD, and even agoraphobia, when you start to change the relationship that you have with those emotions.
So if you would like to learn more about how to work with your anxiety using mindfulness, then please email me. People love the idea of online therapy. It's so convenient. It's so empowering for you. And being able to talk to a therapist online using Skype is just as good as talking to a therapist in person. So if you would like to get started with me please email me now. Thank you.

Do please contact me if you'd like help with anxiety. If you'd like to see an online therapist for help with anxiety then go to my website and learn about the online therapy for anxiety service that I offer via Skype.
So working with an online therapist is obviously very convenient and all the studies show that online therapy is just as effective as therapy in a face to face situation in a therapist's office. There's no difference, especially if you use Skype or other video platform, so you can see each other. That's the most important thing.
So Skype Therapy is much more effective than email therapy or some form of chat format. Because when you can see each other the efficiency of communication is greatly increased and that's quite important for working with the concepts of psychotherapy that can help you overcome your anxiety.
So I teach Mindfulness Therapy, which, over the years, has proved to be immensely effective for overcoming all kinds of anxiety, whether that's a generalized anxiety disorder, whether it's obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, or whether it might be fear of driving, or any other kind of anxiety that you might be struggling with.
Mindfulness Therapy really is excellent at helping you control those patterns of habitual reactive thinking that feeds your anxiety. It is probably the best approach available.
CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy is often recommended for working with anxiety and it's quite good, but I believe Mindfulness Therapy is the next step up from CBT.
It works much more directly with thoughts and with emotions. It works on changing your relationship to thoughts and emotions rather than focusing on trying to get you to change your thoughts by some form of rational intervention.
Often that's just not so effective because your thoughts are very much emotionally charged by anxiety to begin with and it's very difficult to just try and convince yourself that your thoughts are irrational and somehow stop those thoughts from bothering you.
Mindfulness Therapy doesn't try to change thoughts by some sort of rational argument but rather it works on actually neutralizing the emotional charge of those thoughts directly by working with the emotions that fuel the anxiety thoughts.
You will see for yourself just how effective this approach is. It only takes, really, three to four sessions with me to learn how to apply mindfulness for working with your anxiety, and I will guide you in how to do this and teach you in great detail how to apply mindfulness so that you can practice by yourself working with your thoughts and with your emotions between sessions. And after three or four weeks working with me you will see tremendous changes.
So please contact me if you would like to learn more. Thank 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.
