Online Mindfulness Therapy to overcome OCD intrusive thoughts via Skype

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist over Skype for Stopping Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Intrusive Overthinking without using drugs

If you are looking for an online therapist for help with OCD, then I invite you to contact me and tell me more about your particular struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder. 

I offer online therapy through Skype for the treatment of OCD and also for help in reducing intrusive thoughts, intrusive memories and intrusive imagery, which can be very distressing for many people. 

The approach that I use is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is extremely effective for working with reactive thoughts and memories and for reducing the frequency of obsessive, intrusive thoughts as well as reducing their intensity, until they no longer are a problem.

Normal thoughts go through a simple cycle of arising and passing and do so in a relatively short period of time, but OCD thoughts do not resolve but persist and often lead to the proliferation of even more thoughts. This stage of reactive proliferation feeds the underlying emotion, usually fear-based, that fuels OCD.

The key to breaking the cycle of reactive thinking, obsessive compulsive thinking, is to develop a different relationship to those intrusive thoughts or memories or images. We have to develop a mindfulness-based relationship, which means that it's a relationship based on opening to the experience and staying present with the experience of the thought or the image as an observer, we have to learn to be able to observe the thoughts or image without becoming lost in that intrusive thought. We have to learn to stay present with the obsessive thought, without becoming reactive and converting into some compulsive behavior or action. 

The mindfulness approach is one of the most effective approaches available for working with OCD and intrusive thoughts. I will teach you during our Skype therapy sessions together, very precise methods of working with your thoughts using mindfulness that will allow you to develop this objective consciousness that is so essential for breaking the habit of reactive-obsessive thinking. 

With the mindfulness approach, most people see dramatic improvements within a very short time, often within three or four sessions.

The mindfulness approach is about teaching you new methods to work practically with your intrusive thoughts, to neutralize them and heal the underlying emotional energy that's feeding those thoughts. 

This cannot be done by just talking about your thoughts or emotions. And it cannot be done through willpower. It has to be done by changing your relationship to your thoughts. And when that relationship is right, then the healing process begins. But you must develop an open, mindful relationship with your thoughts and emotions.

Mindfulness is the combination of openness, non reactivity, friendliness and compassion. These are the qualities that promote healing. Just trying to understand why you are feeling the way you are reacting is not sufficient. 

Most people with OCD fall into the habit of avoidance and aversion. They try to block out intrusive thoughts and feelings. This is not effective and will actually reinforce the underlying fear because avoidance and aversion are based on fear, themselves, which will simply feed the underlying emotional suffering that is feeding the intrusive, obsessive thoughts or memories.

So we need to learn to develop a different relationship with our emotions if they are to heal. And that's the central focus of Mindfulness Therapy. 

And if you're interested in working with an online therapist to overcome your OCD, then I invite you to contact me. 

Online therapy is an excellent choice and works just as well as in-person therapy, providing you use Skype or Zoom or FaceTime, because you need to see each other for effective communication. 

Online Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and intrusive thoughts

If you wish to talk with a psychotherapist online, then visit my website to learn about Online Psychotherapy through Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression, addictions, OCD, PTSD, Emotional Trauma and other forms of emotional suffering not requiring medical treatment.

Conventional talk therapy can be useful, but often common talk therapy does not transform the the underlying process that is the real cause of your emotional suffering.

The same can be said for medications - the prescription medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications will not transform the underlying process that produces your anxiety or depression.

The type of psychotherapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, which can be quite powerful for managing chronic anxiety as well as for treating depression or other emotional issues caused by habitual reactive thinking. Most of my clients see dramatic reduction in the level of anxiety and depression after 3-4 sessions of Skype Therapy.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness therapist using a system of mindfulness therapy that I developed many years ago now, that's extremely effective for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD. 

So, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for OCD basically teaches you how to break free from the habit of reactive thinking, that is falling into the stream of reactive thinking, of rumination or worrying that might get triggered in the minds. 

This is a very important step in cutting off the fuel that that fuels anxiety or depression. So, OCD is simply the result of a process where we become habitually identified with thoughts, and when we become trapped in our thinking. 

The result is that the thoughts tend to propagate more thoughts and this amplifies the reactive thinking, which in turn amplifies the underlying emotional obsession or anxiety or depression that feeds the OCD. 

So, learning to break this habit of reactive identification is extremely important and is the principal focus of the mindfulness therapy that I teach online via Skype. 

If you'd like to learn more about online mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for OCD, simply go to my websites and then email me. You can ask any questions you might have about mindfulness therapy for OCD and I'd be happy to explain to you how the mindfulness therapy approach can work for you. 

When you feel ready you can schedule a Skype therapy session with me at a time that works for you, and then begin to teach you how to apply mindfulness for overcoming obsessive thinking and for overcoming the anxiety and depression that's associated with obsessive-compulsive thinking.

Treatment for OCD without medication - Online Mindfulness Therapist for OCD and intrusive thoughts over Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy for anxiety and depression, addictions and also for the treatment of OCD and intrusive thoughts. 

So obsessive-compulsive disorder really describes a problem of reactive intrusive thoughts; thoughts that just keep appearing in the mind and that trigger compulsive behaviors. 

Now how do we manage these intrusive thoughts? Well there are certain things we must understand. The first is that you cannot remove intrusive thoughts by willpower. If you try to stop those intrusive thoughts you will actually end up making them stronger.

So we must take a different approach, and the approach that I teach involves mindfulness training. So mindfulness therapy teaches you how to change your relationship to those intrusive thoughts from one of fear and anger, which is also fear-based, to one of equanimity, of allowing the thought to be there without reacting to it. 

And also friendliness. This is an essential part of mindfulness training. You learn to make friends with those intrusive thoughts, even if they are negative thoughts or painful thoughts. 

The most important thing is to develop a non-reactive relationship with those thoughts and that will involve developing a friendliness-based relationship with the thoughts. Friendliness is non-reactive and it is not fear-based. So this will essentially take away the fuel that feeds those intrusive thoughts. 

Intrusive thoughts become intrusive because of the emotional charge that they have. It's not the thought itself that's the problem, it's the emotional charge that the thought has, and this is what keeps it coming back. 

We need to find a way to defuse that emotional charge, and the first way is not to feed the emotion. So that's the reason why we focus on developing a friendly non-reactive relationship with those intrusive thoughts and memories also. 

And one of the best ways to do this is to look at the imagery of these thoughts and then change that imagery. This imagery is what keeps that emotional charge alive and that's what keeps the thoughts in an intrusive and repetitive manner in the mind. 

But when you bring mindfulness to it you see the imagery clearly and then you can begin to help it change. So this is really helping the thought resolve itself. And when it changes his imagery it loses that emotional charge and then it will disappear. 

From my experience with working with people who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder and intrusive memories; thoughts including traumatic memories, I find that this Mindfulness Therapy approach to be the best approach that I have ever explored with people. It Is very, very effective. 

So if you'd like to learn more about the mindfulness approach for treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and intrusive thoughts, then please email me. 

So medications are often prescribed for OCD to reduce the intensity of the anxiety. But I think you'll understand that's just treating the symptoms and not treating the underlying process that creates those intrusive thoughts.

So if you would like to learn more about how to treat OCD without using medications, but through through this mindfulness-based approach, do please contact me. 

Most people see quite dramatic changes within a matter of a few weeks once you start applying these mindfulness methods. And this will include meditation, but a different kind of meditation than you may be familiar with. 

Because, when I talk about mindfulness meditation I'm talking about meditating on the mind. 

So in this case we would actually learn to meditate on those intrusive thoughts. We would deliberately bring them into the mind and start building this non-reactive relationship and start exploring how to change the imagery of those thoughts. 

So this is training, active focused training, to help those thoughts resolve themselves and lose their emotional charge so they no longer become a problem. 

Generally, when you can do that with thoughts then the compulsive behaviors will also subside because there is nothing that is connected to the behaviors. There's nothing that can feed the compulsive behaviors. 

So if you would like to learn more and you would like to schedule some online therapy sessions with me, then please contact me. Thank you.

Online OCD Therapy

Online therapy for overcoming intrusive thoughts

Mindfulness training provides one of the most effective ways of managing and eliminating intrusive thoughts, including intrusive suicidal thoughts. We learn how to hold those thoughts in the mind without becoming identified with them and without reacting to them with avoidance or aversion. 

When we have learned how to do this we stop feeding those thoughts with fear. When we stop feeding them they quickly lose their emotional intensity, and when they lose their emotional charge they diminish and cease to be intrusive.

During therapy sessions I will teach you exactly how to do this.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression and OCD and also I offer help for intrusive suicidal thoughts. 

If you are struggling with intrusive suicidal thoughts, I invite you to go to my website and learn more about Mindfulness Therapy because that is one of the best approaches, in my opinion, for working with intrusive thoughts, in helping you break free from the grip of intrusive thoughts. 

In mindfulness therapy sessions we actually focus on the fundamental problem with intrusive thoughts, which is that the way that we relate to these thoughts. Typically, the relationship is one of avoidance and aversion, resisting, struggling against those thoughts. 

But any form of avoidance of intrusive thoughts, including suicidal thoughts, and any form of aversion or resistance to those thoughts will simply reinforce them and cause them to repeat. 

So, in mindfulness training we understand this and so we cultivate the exact opposite. That is non-avoidance and non-aversion. We develop conscious awareness of these thoughts and friendliness, which is non-avoidance, towards these thoughts. 

It's really important to learn how to be with these thoughts and meditate on these thoughts and train yourself to become free from identifying with the thoughts and reacting to them with avoidance or aversion. 

It won't just happen by itself you have to train to break free from intrusive thoughts and that is why we make great efforts to meditate mindfully on those thoughts. We actually invite them into the mind but for the purpose of training in developing non-reactivity towards them. 

This might seem difficult, but actually it's not that difficult when you approach these thoughts in the right way. Intrusive thoughts are basically habitual in nature and that habitual tendency is based upon the absence of conscious awareness. 

So when we create more conscious awareness around those same thoughts we actually take away the habitual component of the thoughts and this is really very important for the process of neutralizing those thoughts and breaking free from their influence. 

If you'd like to learn more about how to work with suicidal thoughts using mindfulness therapy, then I invite you to go to my website and then send me an email and we can schedule a therapy session via Skype to help you learn how to apply mindfulness for overcoming intrusive thoughts. Thank you.
