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.

Simply e-mail me. Tell me more about yourself and the particular problems that you're struggling with and ask any questions you may have about online mindfulness therapy.
So seeing a therapist online is a very good choice for most people, especially if you use Skype so that you can see each other, then really, there's no difference at all in my experience between online therapy or seeing a therapist in person.
So how do we apply mindfulness for working with anxiety? Well there are lots of different aspects to this, but the first most important thing to understand is that anxiety is a habit. It's something that got established early on in your life and it became habitual, which means that it operates out of consciousness.
So the first aspect of recovery from any kind of anxiety condition is developing more consciousness and that is exactly what mindfulness is all about. It's developing an awakened consciousness to see your anxiety clearly as it is without reacting to it, without becoming lost in the constellation of reactive thoughts and beliefs and emotional reactions that make up the structure of anxiety.
We practice seeing all of these components clearly and without becoming unconscious, without becoming reactive. When you react you essentially lose consciousness and you become controlled by that habit reaction. So this is the first necessary condition for healing anxiety: developing more consciousness.
The second part of mindfulness training, and I will teach you how to do this, is to develop compassion and friendliness towards your anxiety and other emotions that make up that anxiety. The friendliness component is an essential ingredient of mindfulness. If it does not have compassion or love within it then it is not mindfulness. It may be awareness but it's certainly not mindfulness. Mindfulness must have this. There's this added quality of friendliness and compassion.
So we learn to cultivate compassion towards our anxiety and, of course, that is precisely what the anxiety or fear needs. It needs to reconnect with that bigger part of you that can provide love and compassion. Anxiety typically gets started when those mental formations become disconnected from your True Self. When they become isolated and cut off from your True Self, that's what allows them to proliferate and that prevents them from healing.
So if this interests you if you are interested in talking to an online therapist who specializes in mindfulness therapy for anxiety then do please reach out to me by email.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and panic attacks and also for working with depression and addictions and also for OCD.
So I'm often asked what is the best treatment for anxiety and panic attacks. Well from my experience over the years it's quite clear to me that the best treatment there is Mindfulness Therapy, that is learning how to apply mindfulness to work with your anxiety and help that anxiety heal.
So the primary job in mindfulness therapy is healing the underlying fear and anxiety. So we go about this in a number of ways. The first most important principle that I will teach you during our sessions together is how to disengage ourselves from the reactive habitual thoughts, such as worrying and rumination and patterns of negativity, that feeds the anxiety. This is something we do by developing mindful awareness to see those reactive thoughts very clearly and to break the habit of blindly identifying with them.
Thoughts in themselves are not the problem and they are not the cause of anxiety. But if we become identified with them then they become a powerful fuel that feeds anxiety, so the first job in our path of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks is to isolate these thoughts, to see them very clearly to find those habitual thoughts that feed our anxiety.
When we find these thoughts we do not try to get rid of them. We do not try to let go of those thoughts. That of course is a pointless exercise. They will simply return again. What we have to do is focus on helping those thoughts heal themselves, to basically resolve themselves, so that they do not repeat and come back again.
So we do this by learning to develop our capacity has the Observer of those thoughts. So the more we become the Observer, the less identified we become with the thoughts. And this basically neutralizes that habitual pattern of identification, which causes the thoughts to proliferate and feed the underlying anxiety.
So we learn to sit with our thoughts, with our anxiety producing thoughts, without becoming identified and without becoming reactive. We take this a stage further. We not only sit with them and develop non-reactivity, or equanimity as it's called, which is one of the principal features of mindfulness, but we also develop compassion and friendliness towards these anxiety thoughts. This is where the real healing occurs.
So compassion is another essential component of mindfulness. If there is no compassion it is not mindfulness; also if there is no clear conscious non-reactive awareness there is not mindfulness. The two together are what constitute mindfulness.
So we learn to be present with our anxiety thoughts and then we learn to respond to them with compassion, really helping those thoughts heal. And this then starts to establish healing pathways in the mind that heal the underlying anxiety. You are taking away the fuel and then we're helping the anxiety heal. This is the primary mission in mindfulness therapy for anxiety and panic attacks.
So the practical way that we go about doing this is to develop our skills in mindfulness meditation, where we meditate on the anxiety. We meditate in order to build a better quality relationship with the anxiety and its thoughts that is based on conscious awareness that is non-reactive and compassion that helps heal those reactive thoughts.
So when we stop avoiding our anxiety and panic attacks through medication, but rather really focus on developing a conscious and compassionate relationship with our anxiety then the rate of healing greatly increases. And most people that I work with start to see dramatic changes in the level of their anxiety within a few weeks of practicing the mindfulness methods, including mindfulness meditation, that I will teach you in great detail during our online therapy sessions together.
So if you are interested in learning how to effectively overcome anxiety and panic attacks, then I invite you to contact me and let's schedule a session. You will see changes even after that very first session when you start to understand how to work with your emotions, how to work with them directly rather than escaping from them or trying to avoid them in some way, which will be not productive in the long-run.
