Mindfulness Therapy provides an effective treatment option for reducing obsessive-intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors by teaching you how to work with your OCD thoughts and impulses using mindfulness training and the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy.

To break free from OCD and obsessive-intrusive thoughts you MUST learn how to neutralize the underlying anxiety, that fuels intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

This is the primary focus of Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for overcoming OCD and is what I will be teaching you during our Skype Therapy sessions together.

Best Online Therapy for Anxiety and Depression. Online Therapy For Anxiety & Depression

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional Online Therapist. I specialize in mindfulness therapy for treating anxiety, for help with panic attacks, for help with depression and OCD and many other emotional problems that cause distress. 

So if you're looking for the best online therapy sites available, you need to find those that are allowing you to talk to a therapist in person and also to be able to see them using a video conferencing technology like Skype or FaceTime. The best online therapy must include this visual component as well as being able to talk to each other in real time. This will greatly improve the quality of communication and of course that is essential for any form of psychotherapy. 

The next thing you should be looking for for the best online psychotherapy service is one which really focuses more on helping you change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just talking about your emotions. 

There are many chat sites which allow you to simply vent your feelings to someone who is willing to listen and be receptive and that of course is very helpful. But it's important to understand that talking alone will not change the underlying habitual process that causes your emotional suffering. That needs more than just chat or talking. You need to work with a therapist who can help you change the underlying structure of your emotions. And this we do at two levels really the first level is working with thoughts, reactive thoughts. So CBT the cognitive behavioral therapy approach is very good for this. So the best online therapy a service is going to offer you some form of CBT. 

I teach mindfulness therapy, which incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, but also works more at the level of emotions. It helps you change the structure of the emotions themselves. The most important thing you will learn from working with the best online therapy sites is how to stop this habit of becoming overwhelmed, becoming identified by thoughts and by the emotions themselves. This is a problem that we call "reactive identification" and it's really the main issue that we have to change, and mindfulness therapy is one of the best ways of doing this, of essentially learning how not to be overwhelmed by thoughts or emotional reactive habits. 

You can learn to see a thought or an emotion without becoming reactive, without becoming overwhelmed. That's the whole thrust behind mindfulness therapy. So whereas cognitive behavioral therapy focuses more on trying to challenge and prevent you having thoughts, it tries to teach you to change the thoughts directly, Mindfulness therapy tries to help you change your relationship to thoughts, so that they cease to have power over you, and that I have found to be the best approach, especially for anxiety. 

So if you're interested in learning more about online therapy for anxiety and for depression and you'd like to learn more about the best online therapy service for your particular needs, please do contact me and ask any questions you have about the online therapy process and also about mindfulness therapy and how it can help you. 

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you using the techniques of mindfulness therapy and CBT, and please email me and ask me any questions you might have, and when you feel ready we can schedule an online therapy session over Skype or FaceTime and then we can get started. 

Most of my clients see quite dramatic results when they start really working on that underlying process that causes anxiety or depression. And it doesn't take that long. So you can expect to see quite significant changes usually within three to four sessions once you start really addressing the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression. So I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

So the way to break free from those patterns of emotional reactivity that cause our anxiety and that fuel our obsessions is to learn how to form a mindfulness-based relationship with them and to train with those those thoughts and the anxiety. We train ourself to sit with them without becoming reactive. 

When you can sit with your emotions and thoughts without allowing them to proliferating further, then you are taking away the fuel source that feeds the underlying anxiety that fuels those intrusive thoughts. So learning to sit with your emotions and thoughts is the heart of the Mindfulness Meditation Therapy approach that I teach for overcoming OCD.

This approach is very effective and it's very effective because it's very direct. It is about working directly with your emotions. Just talking about your emotions is seldom enough to change the underlying reactivity that feeds your anxiety. You have to change your relationship to that reactivity directly so that you do not become blindly identified with it, blindly caught up in the reactive thinking or in the emotion itself. 

The more you can develop this quality of objective consciousness where you can maintain your identity as your True Self, the Observer, looking at your emotions and thoughts as objects in the mind the freer you become and the faster the recovery. 

With training you see the thoughts and the anxiety as simply objects in the mind that you can observe and respond to with compassion. That's the power of this teaching - it frees you, it liberates you from emotional suffering by allowing you to strengthen your perspective as your True Self. 

Connection with that True Self is exactly what the anxiety needs in order to heal itself. So your True Self is fearless by nature because it is non-reactive.

The anxiety is completely fear-based. In order to resolve fear, it needs to come into contact with that which is fearless and that is your True Self. So this is what we cultivate by meditating on our thoughts and the emotions that fuel those thoughts, which is generally fear. 

So do please contact me if you'd like to learn more about this approach. And if you're interested in online help for overcoming your obsessive compulsive disorder, or if you would like help with working with intrusive thoughts and images, including traumatic memory images, which are often at the heart of OCD.

So please contact me if you would like help in overcoming OCD, and also ask any questions you may have about online psychotherapy for obsessive compulsive disorder. Thank you.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional Online Therapist. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for treating a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress, addictions and also for the online treatment of OCD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

So, how does Mindfulness Therapy work? Well, briefly, Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to control the reactive thoughts that cause reactive-compulsive behaviors. 

We learn how to establish what is called a Mindfulness-based Relationship with our compulsive thoughts, so that we can hold those thoughts in our awareness without becoming overwhelmed by them. When we can do this, then we can start to examine the underlying emotion that duels the obsessive thoughts - and this is essential for the treatment of OCD.

Working with that underlying emotion using mindfulness allows us to change the structure of how that emotion operates in the mind. So, once you can change the underlying emotions, then you take the fuel away from the obsessive thinking and this then stops that obsessive thinking converting into compulsive behaviors.

So, if you would like to learn more about Mindfulness Therapy for OCD, please contact me through my website. Send me an email and then we can discuss if Online Therapy for OCD is a good choice for you, and I will explain more detail about how this works, and then we can schedule a Skype Therapy Session for your OCD.

How to treat OCD without medication - Online Mindfulness Therapy for OCD and intrusive thoughts

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety, for depression and also for working with obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD. 

So if you're interested in online treatment for OCD without using medications, then do please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service. 

Mindfulness Therapy is very good for treating all forms of anxiety disorders because it teaches you how to work with your thoughts in a very direct and practical way, and that is essential in working with OCD. 

We have to basically change the way that we relate to our thoughts. Some people teach that we have to overcome irrational thoughts. I do not agree with that. Whether the thoughts are rational or irrational is of no particular importance. What matters is the emotional charge of those thoughts and the nature of your relationship to them. 

So typically when we experience an obsessive thought or an intrusive thought we become immediately identified with that. This is called reactive identification, and then we tend to react even further to intrusive thoughts by creating more thoughts that feed the first intrusive thought, and that is called reactive proliferation of thoughts. 

So this is what typically happens out of habit for most people with OCD. But with mindfulness training and the methods that I will teach you during our online therapy sessions, you will begin to be able to break free from the compulsive aspects of those intrusive thoughts. 

You do not require medication to treat OCD. Medication simply masks the intensity of the emotion, but it doesn't do anything to change the underlying process that is causing those intrusive-obsessive thoughts to arise in the mind, and that's what we address with Mindfulness Therapy. 

So the first step is learning to be with your intrusive thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. And then when you establish this relationship with them, then you can begin to change the emotional component of those intrusive obsessive thoughts, and I will explain in great detail how to do this. 

If you want to work with me, if you would like to learn how to overcome OCD without resorting to medications, then please go to my website and send me an email so we can schedule a trial therapy session for you. 

With the mindfulness approach, because it is so practical and so focused on overcoming the underlying cause of your OCD, most people will see significant changes after the first three to four sessions with me. It doesn't take that long to break out of these habitual patterns of reactive thinking and reactive identification with thoughts. 

It just requires some skillful guidance and then practice of the methods that I will teach you. So please contact me if this interests you and let's get started. Thank you.

Online Mindfulness Therapist for OCD - Treatment of OCD without medication

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional mindfulness-based therapist, based in Colorado, USA and I offer online therapy for anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, and particularly for the treatment of OCD. 

I get a lot of requests for help with obsessive-compulsive disorder and particularly with intrusive thoughts. Many people suffer quite severely from intrusive repetitive thoughts that just basically obsess the mind and cause a lot of suffering and lead to a lot of unwanted behaviors to try and avoid and get away from these intrusive thoughts. 

So if you're looking for an online therapist for OCD and you would like help in working with intrusive thoughts then please go to my website and learn more about the online therapy service that I offer for treating OCD and anxiety disorders in general. And please send me an email if you have any questions. 

Most people really enjoy the mindfulness approach because it's very practical. It teaches you how to neutralize those intrusive obsessive thoughts. 

Trying to approach the problem of obsessive and intrusive thoughts by some sort of rational thinking approach is just not going to work. In fact you already know that these intrusive thoughts are not rational and not likely to occur, but it doesn't stop them. 

This is because the intrusive thoughts have a very strong emotional charge and it's that emotional charge that causes them to stay in the mind and to repeat over and over again. It is the emotional charge that we have to work with and that's the primary focus in Mindfulness Therapy. 

It doesn't matter whether the thought is rational or irrational. That's not the point. The point is that you have to neutralize that emotional charge to allow that thought to subside and heal. 

If you really want to stop intrusive thoughts you must neutralize the emotional charge of those thoughts. So the way we do this in Mindfulness Therapy is by actually meditating on those intrusive thoughts. 

We don't try to run away from them, we don't try to avoid them. We actually meditate on them, which means we hold them as a primary object in our meditation. We look at the thoughts and we start to change our relationship to them. That's the first and most important thing. 

So typically, what happens with a highly charged emotional intrusive thoughts is that when ever they arise in the mind we become completely consumed by them, we become overwhelmed by the thoughts, we become identified with them. 

So the first step in mindfulness training is learning to literally sit with those thoughts without becoming reactive, without reacting with fear, which is the primary energy in intrusive thoughts, or aversion, some form of hatred or resistance. We have to learn to sit with it and not react. 

That is the first training and the only way to do that is to consciously and actively focus on that thought; on training in that way, to sit with the thought. You can't do it by some other indirect method. You must work directly with those intrusive thoughts. 

The second part of our mindfulness work is becomes possible once you stop reacting or identifying with those obsessive thoughts. Then we work on neutralizing the emotional charge, and that really is mostly about working with the imagery of the thought, because emotions work through imagery and very highly emotional thoughts or images, for that matter, or memories or other intrusive type imagery. 

The thing that makes it emotionally powerful is the properties of that imagery itself, how you see it and the mind is what creates the emotion itself. So we look at this imagery and then we start to change it, because when you have a non-reactive conscious, mindful relationship with the intrusive or obsessive thought, then you can begin to explore changing it, changing its properties. For example making it a lot smaller. 

So an obsessive or compulsive thought, by its nature will be very large. The imagery is probably also going to be very close. And that is what creates the intense emotional charge of the thought: it's position, its size, and color. All of these details of the imagery are what actually cause the emotion. 

So if you'd like to learn practical ways of working with your OCD and intrusive thoughts, then please reach out to me and schedule a Skype Therapy session.
