Online psychotherapist for help with recovering from OCD

Thoughts are one form of mental object and are fundamentally the same as any other mental object that comes through the sense doors. You need to use meditation to train yourself to stay present with intrusive thoughts and emotions without falling into the habit of reacting to those mental objects. Just as you have learned how to meditate on the breath so too you can learn to meditate on thoughts. When you overcome the habit of reacting, the thoughts become progressively less intrusive, lose their emotional strength and heal. Meditation (vipassana) in this way strengthens the natural healing pathways in the mind. The problem is in that habitual reactivity to the thoughts; vipassana teaches you how to overcome this habit.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional On line 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.

How to cure OCD intrusive thoughts through Mindfulness Therapy over Skype

Welcome! If you'd like to learn how to cure OCD intrusive thoughts then you might want to consider a few sessions of online Mindfulness Therapy with me. 

Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with intrusive thoughts and obsessive thoughts in general. It helps you learn how to change the relationship that you have to thoughts in general, so that you don't become overwhelmed by them, that you don't become identified with thoughts. 

That is the first key training in Mindfulness Therapy, is how to be with your thoughts without becoming reactive, without becoming identified with them, without allowing them to dominates the mind. It is possible to sit with your thoughts and see them as objects in the mind the same way that you could sit with a dangerous animal and watch it, without becoming overwhelmed with fear. 

Let us imagine a trip to the zoo. We see animals in the zoo that could be very dangerous if we didn't have a good relationship with them. In that case we are separated by the cage that the animals are in. It is possible to put your thoughts into a cage too if necessary. 

But the thing is, when you work with your thoughts using mindfulness you can basically create the right internal situation whereby you can be with that thought without becoming overwhelmed. 

So the primary way we do this is by actually meditating on our thoughts. We deliberately choose to meditate on our intrusive thoughts but we do it under controlled circumstances. We make the choice to invite this thought into the mind for the purpose of training with it, so that's quite different. 

The main problem with OCD intrusive thoughts is that they there's no consciousness involved. They just arise spontaneously in a habitual conditioned manner and then create emotional suffering. But we can change that by choosing to invite a scary thought into the mind, but on our terms, and that makes all the difference. 

So building a real relationship with the thoughts in which we learn how to become less and less reactive is a primary function that we develop during mindfulness therapy sessions. Another thing that is quite interesting and that I will teach you and show you how to do during these therapy sessions, is how to work with the imagery of the thoughts. 

So any thought that has an emotional charge to it will have associated emotional imagery. The most simple example of that is that the emotional charge of the thought appears very large and very close and usually above us. 

That's why we say "I feel overwhelmed" by the thought, because literally we seem the thought above us. And it has to be big in order to be overwhelming. And it has to be very close to be overwhelming. So the imagery of the thought is really quite important. Actually, I would say it's vitally important. 

When we meditate on our thoughts consciously we get to see this imagery and when we see the imagery then we can change that imagery because all emotional imagery is a product of habit, of conditioning, and habits can be changed when we develop a conscious relationship with the habit. 

So we look at the imagery of our emotions, our emotionally charged thoughts, and we help change that imagery and diminish the emotional charge of the thoughts. 

So this is working with the emotions underneath the thoughts in a very productive and positive way that leads to the resolution and basically the healing of the thoughts so it no longer has that emotional charge that makes it intrusive. 

So this is a very effective way of working with obsessive thoughts, with intrusive thoughts, and for basically neutralizing them so that they don't catalyze compulsive behaviors which is the second stage of OCD. 

After the intrusive thoughts comes compulsive behaviors. But those behaviors are powered by the emotional charge of the intrusive thoughts. 

So if you would like to learn more about how to cure OCD, how to basically neutralize those intrusive thoughts and break out of the very scary place that OCD intrusive thoughts create, do please send me an email and let's schedule a trial therapy session via Skype, and I will show you how to work with your thoughts using mindfulness. 

Mindfulness Therapy is by far the most effective method out there, besides CBT, and most people that I work with see quite dramatic changes within the first three to four sessions. So please contact me and let's schedule a session. Thank you.

How to overcome OCD intrusive thoughts - Online Mindfulness Therapy over Skype

Mindfulness Therapy gives you the tools for overcoming obsessive intrusive thoughts and memories. When you have the tools and apply them then progress can be very fast, and most of my clients see big improvements after 3-4 sessions with me.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer online over Skype. 

If you would like to learn how to overcome OCD intrusive thoughts, then Mindfulness Therapy is well worth considering. 

The mindfulness approach that I teach is extremely effective for working with intrusive thoughts, with obsessive thoughts that basically seem to continue without any kind of break, that dominate the mind and that keep recur reoccurring over and over again. 

Intrusive thoughts are quite problematic and are a source of tremendous suffering for people. So if you are suffering from intrusive thoughts and OCD in general, then you might want to start looking into mindfulness therapy for controlling these thoughts. 

The basic principle for controlling OCD intrusive thoughts is to learn how to change your relationship to those thoughts. We must stop avoiding those thoughts. 

We must not indulge in any kind of distraction behaviors to try and avoid those thoughts and we must also change our relationship from one of aversion or hostility or resistance to one of friendliness and actually working with those thoughts in a non-aversive manner. 

So, developing in a friendliness towards intrusive thoughts is really important. If you don't and if you develop hatred for those thoughts or struggle with them, you will simply make them stronger. So, in mindfulness training we learn how to hold intrusive thoughts in the mind without becoming overwhelmed by them. 

We learn to actually see the intrusive thought as simply an object in the mind. We actually work on giving it an image and we make sure that we stay separate and larger than that object image of the thought. 

That's the most important thing - changing the way that you see the thoughts in the mind. One common practice that we develop in mindfulness for intrusive thoughts is actually to imagine not only seeing the thought as an object in the mind, but actually moving the thought out of the mind and placing it on the floor, for example. 

Taking the thought and moving it is very effective for working with intrusive thoughts because it essentially makes the thought smaller and it prevents this problem of reactive identification where we become, if you like, consumed by the thought. When that happens the thought itself becomes bigger than we are. 

That's what happens when we become identified with that thought, we shrink into the thought, we contract into the thought, and that we have to avoid at all costs. 

So, by working with the intrusive thoughts in this way using mindfulness and creative imagination you can essentially disarm the thought, you take away its emotional intensity, and when you do that the thought ceases to stay in the mind, it begins just fade away quite naturally when you take away the emotional charge of the thought. 

So, this is something you can try yourself. Greet the thoughts in a friendly way, that friendliness actually makes you bigger than the thought itself, it changes the imagery. Then take the thought and move it and put it on the floor and see how that works for you.
