Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist through Skype for Controlling Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Intrusive Overthinking without using medications.

Welcome. So I provide online therapy for the treatment of OCD. If you're looking for an online therapist for OCD and you would like help in overcoming intrusive, obsessive thoughts using the techniques of mindfulness therapy which I teach online via Skype, then do please contact me. 

Reach out to me through the Contact Page. Tell me more about yourself and ask any questions you may have about the online therapy program that I teach for overcoming OCD. 

When you are selecting an online therapist to work with for an anxiety disorder like OCD it is very important that you use Skype so that you can see each other. If you can see each other, then that will improve the quality of communication substantially. It's not necessary to be in the same room as your therapist, but it is very important that you see each other. This will make the therapy sessions much more effective. 

So during our online Skype Therapy sessions together, I'll be teaching you how to work with intrusive thoughts using the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy, and the central methodology that we use for breaking free from the influence of reactive intrusive thinking is to learn how to meditate on your reactive thoughts.

The worst thing you can do is fall into a habit of avoidance, trying to run away from your intrusive thoughts, trying to suppress them. That will simply feed those intrusive thoughts because any reaction based on avoidance is basically fear-based. It's a fear based reaction and that will add to the fear, which is the most common emotion that is fueling your intrusive thoughts. If you want to break free from an intrusive and obsessive thoughts, you need to heal and resolve the emotion that is fueling those thoughts.

Thoughts only become intrusive when they have a strong emotional charge. And that's what we have to neutralize. And that's what I will teach you during Mindfulness Therapy. 

We learn to meditate on our intrusive thoughts. That means that we consciously bring them into awareness and then we train with them. The training is about learning how to stay with the thought without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by the fear that accompanies the intrusive thought. This takes training and mindfulness meditation, is training with the mind to resolve suffering and promote freedom.

So you meditate on the thought. This is how you can achieve freedom. You can not achieve freedom by avoidance. But you can achieve freedom from the influence of those thoughts if you meditate on them. 

So you train to sit with the thoughts and not react. You then respond to the underlying emotion, which is usually fear, but it could be other emotions like guilt or shame or anger or trauma.

We learn to respond to these emotions with mindfulness, with full conscious presence, accompanied by compassion. Mindfulness is the combination of conscious awareness and compassion. They are both present in mindfulness. Compassion means interacting with that fear in a way that helps it resolve. 

So you are training to resolve the fear that is the fuel for those intrusive thought. When that fear is resolved, then the thoughts will no longer be intrusive. They will essentially just disappear because they are no longer relevant. They will be naturally replaced by other thoughts that are more relevant and probably more positive, because they are not based on fear. 

So what keeps intrusive thoughts in the mind is that underlying emotional charge, the fear itself. Heal the fear and the thoughts will subside. 

So this is part of what I'll teach you during our Skype therapy sessions together. This approach of learning to meditate on your intrusive thoughts or obsessive thoughts is very, very powerful. And most people see very welcome improvements within a very short time, usually within three or four sessions.

I will teach you the methods of how to work with your intrusive thoughts and obsessive thoughts using mindfulness. You will take these methods and practice them at home between sessions. This is what makes all the difference in your recovery from OCD. 

If you'd like to schedule online therapy with me for your obsessive compulsive disorder or intrusive thoughts, then please contact me so we can schedule a Skype Therapy session. Thank you. 

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 - prescription medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications will not transform the underlying process that produces your anxiety or depression. This requires good quality psychotherapy.

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.

Best Online Therapy Service for OCD

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.

How to get rid of intrusive thoughts through Online Mindfulness Therapy

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.

FOR HELP WITH OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER AND ANXIETY

Online Therapist for OCD and Intrusive Thoughts

Online therapy for OCD intrusive thoughts

You do not need medications to treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Instead you should learn how to work with the emotional part that makes intrusive thoughts intrusive. This is what we work on during online mindfulness therapy sessions.

So how to treat OCD without medication? So, OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a problem in which we become prisoners of intrusive thoughts. Essentially we become prisoners of highly emotionally charged thoughts whatever they might be. There can be many many different types of obsessive thoughts or beliefs that we're struggling with. 

But the key component here is that the thoughts are emotionally charged. So in order to overcome OCD you have to neutralize this emotional charge that makes those thoughts so intrusive. And that's what we focus on during online Mindfulness Therapy sessions for treating OCD. 

We actually learn how to meditate on those thoughts. We introduce those intrusive thoughts into the mind and then we learn how to change our relationship to those thoughts so that we can become the Observer observing the thought as an object in the mind instead of our usual habit which is to become identified with the thought and therefore become reactive and overcome by the thought. 

When we become reactive and identified with intrusive thoughts that simply feeds those intrusive thoughts, it feeds the emotional energy behind the thoughts and that leads to proliferation of intrusive thoughts, which creates even more emotional suffering. 

So when we are meditating on the same intrusive thoughts, we're learning to break that pattern of reactive identification, we learn to see the thoughts without reacting. And that's the first essential step in the treatment of OCD using mindfulness. 

We have to completely break the habit of becoming overwhelmed by the thoughts, we have to be able to learn how to sit with those thoughts without becoming identified with them. That's an essential part of mindfulness training to overcome OCD. 

A second part of working with the emotional content of the intrusive thoughts is to actually work with their imagery, and this is quite a novel concept to most people, but emotional imagery is very, very important. This is what actually creates the emotion that is triggered by the thoughts. 

The imagery: how you see it in the mind. How big are the intrusive thoughts? What position does it have in your psychological space? Do you see it in the mind? Do you see it in the heart or the stomach? Do you see it in front of you or above you? The position of thoughts is part of their imagery and that's an extremely important part of what makes those thoughts emotionally charged. 

So the imagery is what creates the emotion and the emotion is what causes the thoughts to become intrusive and repetitive and prevents the thoughts from simply resolving themselves like other thoughts. 

So we work with this imagery and we work on changing this imagery and when we change the imagery you change that emotional charge. When you change the emotional charge of a thought, the thought begins to subside and lose power in the mind. 

So those are two parts of what I will teach you during online therapy sessions for your OCD, and the mindfulness approach works extremely well and most people will see quite substantial changes after three to four sessions of practicing mindfulness meditation on thoughts. 

If you'd like to learn more, go to my website and please email me if you'd like to schedule a therapy session with me via Skype to help you overcome your OCD. Thank you.
