Mindfulness-based Online Therapist for Anxiety
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety using Mindfulness Therapy.
So mindfulness-based therapy is extremely effective for overcoming anxiety and this is because it teaches you how to change the underlying relationship that you have with your emotions.
The primary problem that I come across in the clients that I work with is the problem of reactive identification. This is the process whereby you become identified with your anxiety.
So anxiety gets triggered in the mind and that is just a habit, a conditioned habit. But the real problem starts when you become identified with it. This is where you essentially become the emotion, where you become consumed by it, controlled by it, overwhelmed by the anxiety. So this is reactive identification and this is the key thing that you must change if you wish to break free from anxiety or depression. It's the same process in both conditions that really causes the problem to sustain itself.
You essentially end up feeding your anxiety or depression when you identify with it.
Other kinds of reactivity that reinforce anxiety and depression are typically the reaction of avoidance. Running away from your emotions. That will strengthen anxiety or depression because it cultivates fear of your own anxiety or depression.
And the other kind of reactivity that is very, very common is reactivity based on aversion: pushing the unpleasant emotions away. Trying to pretend that they're not there, trying to talk your way out of those emotions. These are all ways of pushing the emotion away, suppressing and pushing it into the subconscious and of course that will simply reinforce the habit that creates anxiety of depression.
And that's an important consideration. In my opinion, it is incorrect to call anxiety or depression an illness or chemical imbalance or any other disorder of that type. These are emotional states that are created psychologically in the mind in reaction to certain triggers. Now those triggers could include chemical imbalances in the mind, but not typically it is the anxiety or depression itself that leads to chemical imbalances in the mind and those imbalances simply reinforce and feed the underlying psychological condition.
So the way that we can overcome our anxiety or depression is by working on changing the way that we relate to our emotions. And this does not require medication. It simply requires very careful strategic focused attention on the relationship that you have with your emotions, and that is what we specialize in during Mindfulness Therapy. And I will teach you how to do this.
I have found this approach to be very effective. My clients really enjoy and feel empowered by this approach. And almost all of my clients are able to get off their medications once they start really applying the mindfulness techniques that I teach.
So if you'd like to learn more about mindfulness-based psychotherapy for overcoming anxiety and depression as well, then please go to my website and learn more about my services. And please e-mail me with any questions you might have. I will be happy to answer your e-mails. And when you feel ready we can then proceed to schedule the first online therapy session. And in that first session I will teach you the principles of how to apply mindfulness to work with anxiety and depression.
Most people really benefit tremendously from this approach and I typically tell people to look for changes very quickly after the first one or two sessions. If you start applying these techniques you will see changes quite quickly.
So if you're interested in Mindfulness Therapy for overcoming anxiety depression or any other emotional problem and you like the idea of learning how to do this yourself without relying on medications, then please go to my website and contact me and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session at a time that was for you.

If you would like to see a therapist online for help with anxiety, I invite you to contact me and tell me more about yourself and how I can help you, and then we can schedule a session via Skype to help you overcome your anxiety.
So many people, these days, really like the convenience of online therapy for their anxiety. It's much easier and it's also just as effective, as long as you use a video platform like Skype.
If you can see each other, then the effectiveness of communication is just as good as it is seeing a therapist in person.
So if you'd like to see an online therapist for help with generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder or OCD or for agoraphobia or any other form of anxiety, then please email me and we can schedule a session at a time that works for you.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer via Skype is called Mindfulness Therapy and this is particularly effective for anxiety.
Basically during the online sessions, I will teach you how to apply mindfulness for working with your anxiety, for neutralizing those anxiety reactions that have become habitual.
We do this by actually learning how to meditate on our emotions and our thoughts using mindfulness meditation, where we make the emotion the central focus of your meditation.
We learn how to build a relationship with your emotions whereby you do not react or identify with those emotions, but are able to sit with the emotion in very much the same way that you would be able to sit with a child that was in pain.
In order to be comforting to the child and help the child you need to be able to sit with the child without becoming reactive, and that the first stage of mindfulness training. We call this developing equanimity, which simply means that you can sit with your emotions without becoming reactive, in that same way.
When you can do that then you can respond to the anxiety, or other emotions that you have detected that feed that anxiety, in a way that helps them heal.
So the first step is not making the anxiety worse by reacting to it. The second stage is learning how to respond to your anxiety with compassion, how to help that anxiety heal, and one of the primary ways we do this is by building that very relationship itself, the relationship between your True Self. And the emotion, which we often call the Little Self.
When that anxiety feels the presence of your True Self then that facilitates the healing and resolution of that anxiety. In most cases the real reason why the anxiety does not heal is because it becomes isolated from your True Self. And that is similar to the situation in which a child is abandoned and isolated from its parents. It needs its parents in order to overcome its own fear and to grow in a healthy way.
And so it is with our emotions. Typically they become isolated and cut off from our True Self, and this prevents them healing.
So during mindfulness meditation we strive to re-establish this relationship between your True Self, the Observer, and the emotion itself. This is the first stage of mindfulness therapy for anxiety. And there are many other aspects of Mindfulness Therapy for anxiety, which you can learn about by spending more time on my website and reading more of the pages there and watching more of the videos on my website.
But if you'd like to get started with me and see for yourself just how effective online Mindfulness Therapy is for treating anxiety, then simply email me and we can schedule is Skype Therapy session for your anxiety.
Most people see results within the first three to four sessions. The mindfulness approach is extremely effective for treating anxiety.

How to Overcome Anxiety through Mindfulness Meditation Therapy
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!

How to overcome anxiety without the need for anti-anxiety medications
Visit my Contact Page to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.
So I'm often asked, "How can I overcome my anxiety without using medication?" And the answer is medication is not going to change the underlying cause of your anxiety. Medications are designed solely to reduce symptoms, and they can have the place as a temporary measure, but you have to correct the underlying psychological cause if you want to break free from anxiety and panic attacks and OCD and other forms of anxiety disorder.
All anxiety disorders are caused by underlying psychological habits. So this habit is a psychological process that is triggered by various factors. That might be external triggers. For example, in a phobia there are very specific external triggers; driving anxiety is very common and that's triggered by certain road conditions. It could be health anxiety, which is triggered by a visit to see a doctor or the anticipation of going to see a doctor, and so on.
External triggers are one big factor for many people. But there are also internal triggers in the form of thoughts and beliefs and memories and other cognitive content.
So whatever the trigger is, it's what is triggered that's important. It's not effective to try and avoid external or internal triggers, that is not going to help in the long run. You have to change that underlying psychological habit that gets triggered. And we do this in Mindfulness Therapy by looking at the relationship that you have to the emotions that get triggered, the anxiety, and to the triggers themselves. So we work with both of these and learn how to break free from that, essentially, unconscious habitual reaction to these triggers. The most important thing how to break that unconscious habit.
We do this by actually focusing conscious awareness on those triggers whether they're external or internal using mindfulness meditation. So, mindfulness meditation is simply a way of breaking free from habits of the mind that cause emotional suffering. There are many styles of meditation, of course, and many interpretations of what meditation means. But in this context when we are talking about mindfulness meditation we are learning how to free the mind from suffering. So we learn how to work with the internal triggers and the external triggers by meditating on them, by imagining them and then looking for the emotion that gets triggered, and then helping to heal that emotion, helping to neutralize it through a number of mindfulness techniques that I will teach you. And I will teach you how to meditate on your emotions and how to free yourself from these emotional habits during our Skype Therapy sessions.
One of the key things we focus on is neutralizing reactivity to those triggers. It's habitual as I've been saying, and habit thrives on blind unconscious reactivity. So by simply the process of developing more and more conscious awareness around the triggers you will be be able to break free from them to a greater and greater extent until those triggers are no longer effective at triggering anxiety.
So that's one big area of mindfulness therapy. The problem for most people is that they do not bring conscious awareness to their triggers. They simply cultivate avoidance or aversion towards those triggers. They run away from them. They try to suppress them. They try to escape the emotional pain. But as you will know, that will not work. Any form of avoidance will simply make the problem worse. Any form of aversion or suppression of your emotions will simply strengthen them.
So we not only develop more consciousness but we also develop this quality of friendliness or compassion towards those emotions themselves. And this greatly accelerates the process of healing for emotional pain of all kinds, but especially for anxiety and fear.
Another thing that we explore during mindfulness therapy is the imagery of the emotions that get triggered. And we look at changing this imagery, how you see the emotion in the mind, and helping them resolve in that way, because when you change the imagery of an emotion you change the emotion.
If you'd like to learn more about how to overcome anxiety without using medications and you would like to learn how to heal anxiety by using mindfulness therapy which I offer online via Skype, then please contact me so we can schedule a Skype therapy session for overcoming your anxiety.
