I’m starting to feel the joy Peter talks about and a real tenderness toward myself and others."

Welcome. If you'd like to speak to a psychotherapist online via Skype I invite you to go to my website and learn more about online psychotherapy.
So being able to speak to an online psychotherapist for anxiety is particularly useful because usually if you're experiencing chronic anxiety you may find it rather difficult to leave home or go to see a therapist in an office. And the thought of medication and other treatment approaches might be rather intimidating.
So being able to speak to an online psychotherapist via Skype is much more convenient and much more comfortable for most people. And that's the approach that I really specialize in - providing an online therapy resource as a way of working with difficult emotions like anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety and also OCD.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called Mindfulness Therapy, and this is really a very effective way of learning how to manage difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and also to your thoughts. We have to learn to form a relationship with our emotions in which we do not become overwhelmed or consumed by those emotions.
We need to be able to sit with those emotions, observe them, but not become overwhelmed by them. And this is what I will teach you during the online therapy sessions. I will teach you how to sit with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed, and this is a central theme in all Mindfulness Therapy.
The particular style of Mindfulness Therapy that I've developed some 20 years ago now is designed to help you not only form a stable relationship with your emotions but also to explore how to heal anxiety depression and other emotions. And this we do by developing a response based on compassion and friendliness with our emotions.
The typical habitual response that most people develop is that they try to avoid their anxiety or they try to avoid anxiety producing situations and they react with fear towards their anxiety or panic attacks.
So avoidance will not heal anxiety. It simply feeds the anxiety. And the same goes for developing aversion or fear towards your anxiety. If you react in any way to your anxiety it's only going to make it worse, basically.
So when we learn to sit with our anxiety we learn to to see that anxiety as a part of our self that needs our help and need support. We learn to see the anxiety as a part that is in need. And in fact we learn to approach our anxiety very much the same way that a parent would approach a child in need.
The anxiety is very much like a child in many ways. It is conditioned, it has limited ability to change itself and it requires the intervention of a larger entity, like a parent.
Well during mindfulness training, we learn to become that parent to our own emotions, and that is a central requirement for healing. We have to become a parents to our anxiety. When you can approach your anxiety like that then you will facilitate healing and make it much more likely that healing will occur.
So, if you like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy and you like the idea of being able to speak to an online psychotherapist for anxiety, do please go to my website. Learn more about the Mindfulness Therapy approach and please email me to schedule an online psychotherapy session for your anxiety. 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.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness therapist and I offer online therapy over Skype.
So how can we overcome anxiety attacks without medication?
The problem of an anxiety disorder is that it's not short-lived like "normal anxiety", it persists, it is recurrent. It keeps affecting the quality of our life on a daily basis, it keeps coming back. That is not a normal state of anxiety. It's basically become a self-sustaining habit that recreates itself over and over again when certain triggers are present. For example driving anxiety. So chronic driving anxiety or phobia is quite different than the normal kind of anxiety we might experience when traffic is very heavy or when weather conditions change on the road. So driving anxiety disorder is one in which we are propelled into panic attacks and to extreme fear reactions by really quite normal triggers.
So in that case we need to find a way of changing the underlying habit that causes that anxiety. This we can do through mindfulness therapy and other forms of psychotherapy that address the underlying habits that is causing the anxiety.
Medications may have a place in some situations, but it's really important to understand that medications are not going to change that psychological habit. All medications do is relieve the symptoms for a while.
So, if you have persistent anxiety, an anxiety disorder, such as a phobia or such as OCD or a panic disorder or agoraphobia or any other form of extreme anxiety, then you need to look at the underlying psychological habits.
We can change that by becoming more conscious of how the habit works. The typical response that we have, usually, to any kind of unpleasant experience such as anxiety is that we run away from it. We try to avoid it. We try to avoid the triggers that produce that anxiety. But this really starts to strengthen that anxiety habit.
It means that we become more and more under the control of habit and that simply strengthens the habit. So, in Mindfulness Therapy we recognize this as a primary problem: avoidance and also aversion to unpleasant emotional reactions. That's really what feeds the habit.
Instead, we learn to sit with our anxiety in much the same way as we might sit with a friend who is in pain. You learn not to become as upset as our friend, but rather to become a safe and supportive person that is able to provide a space around that anxiety that's what helps the person overcome their anxiety if we can provide that protective space.
Is very much the same with our emotions. We learn to become friends to our emotions by creating a protective space around them so that the emotions don't ignite further reactivity in the form of reactive thinking and react to behaviors that feed that anxiety.
When you can sit with your anxiety in this way not reacting to it then you're creating the ideal conditions in which that anxiety will begin to change itself and begin to heal. And when you're not reacting then you can actually participate in is healing, you can help it heal itself. So we call this building the alliance between your True Self and Little Self. The Little Self is the anxiety and other emotional habits that operate blindly out of consciousness like any habit to feed that anxiety.
The True Self is that part of you that can observe the anxiety without reacting. It's what can be present with the anxiety without becoming anxious. So once you get that dynamic between your True Self, the observer mind and the Little Self, the reactive mind, then you can begin to change those habits.
I will teach you how to do this during these online therapy sessions that I offer. So if you'd like to learn how to avoid and overcome anxiety attacks without medication, do please go to my website and then email me to schedule an online therapy session. This approach of using mindfulness is very effective indeed, and most people see significant changes after the first two or three sessions.
