How to overcome anxiety attacks without medication
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Colorado and I offer online therapy and online counseling via Skype worldwide to help you manage anxiety and panic attacks, as well as depression and other common psychological problems.
So panic anxiety is really an example where we become highly contracted into the emotion itself. This process of emotional contraction we refer to as reactive identification. It is where you become so identified with the emotion that it basically consumes you. You lose your perspective and your identity as your True Self and become trapped inside the intense emotions of anxiety.
So this process of contraction is a key feature of panic attacks. And indeed, that's how it feels when we have a panic attack. It literally feels like the world, the walls are closing in and we contract into it is very narrow, confined space. So it's very scary.
Panic attacks are really terribly stressful and cause a lot of emotional suffering.
So how do we work with panic attacks? Well, the methods that I have developed that I will teach you over Skype during our sessions together is called Mindfulness Therapy, and it's a very, very good way of working with the mind.
Mindfulness is a way of developing conscious awareness of the mind, of learning how to become the observer and develop objective consciousness to see the emotions and the thoughts and the memories and the traumas and other contents of mind without becoming identified with them, without losing that perspective as your True Self.
In Mindfulness Therapy and psychology we define the True Self, as the observer mind, that which can see the content, but is not identified with the content.
So the way to overcome this emotional contraction that occurs during intense anxiety attacks and panic attacks is to develop this perspective as your True Self, as the observer. And we do this by training in mindfulness, and the training method is called mindfulness meditation.
So this is where we are meditating on the anxiety itself and other emotions associated with the anxiety; on any emotions that have this contracting effect in the mind. These we must meditate on. Some people think meditation means escaping the mind. That is not true, it is not a very good form of meditation if it is about escaping the mind because you have to live with your mind.
So mindfulness meditation is about meditating on the mind. It's about changing the relationship so that you can see the contents of the mind objectively and not become controlled by the contents. So we meditate on our emotions. We at first may become reactive. Of course we will. But we remember our mission and our mission here is to return to that state of being the observer.
In this way, we gradually train out of reactive identification and we develop our True Self, which is greatly expanded by its very nature. And it does not suffer. Only the Little Self, the contracted, the Little Self suffers.
So we meditate on our emotions. We develop this objective consciousness or equanimity, as it's also called in Buddhist psychology. And then we work on responding to that emotion itself as if it was a child or something in need. It needs our compassion. It needs our help to heal. When we stop reacting to it, that's the first step in helping it heal. That's the first step in the response of compassion, which is a major part of mindfulness.
So that is a brief introduction to the Mindfulness Therapy method that I have developed for working with anxiety and panic attacks. If you would like to learn more, please contact me via the contact page. Tell me more about yourself and what you're struggling with and I would be happy to answer your questions and we can set up a Skype therapy session. So please contact me and let's get started on your path to recovery. Thank you.
How to treat panic attacks without medications
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado, and I specialize in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression and especially for the management of panic attacks.
If you'd like to learn how to overcome panic attacks without medication, please go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness therapy approach. This approach is very effective indeed for the treatments of anxiety and for overcoming panic attacks and any other common emotional psychological problems that don't require medical intervention.
So the reason why we don't want to use medications for treating panic attacks and also for treating anxiety is because they don't change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety attacks. They simply mask the symptoms. They may provide some temporary relief from the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety attacks but medications do nothing to change the underlying cause of your panic attacks. That underlying cause is primarily psychological in nature. It's the result of a conditioned psychological habit that you have acquired, for one reason or another, and that is what we must change if you are to fully recover from panic attacks or anxiety.
So during the mindfulness therapy approach we do this by actually learning how to meditate on your anxiety and on the triggers that cause your panic attacks. The biggest problem that I see is that people fall into reactive habits of avoidance and aversion or self-criticism.
These reactions simply take awareness away from the panic attacks and the anxiety beneath them and that prevents them from healing. You must bring conscious awareness to them you must learn how to sit with your anxiety without reacting and without becoming overwhelmed. This is absolutely vital if you're going to break free from anxiety and panic attacks because if you don't you simply end up feeding the underlying anxiety and you end up with re-traumatizing yourself.
So the first stage of mindfulness therapy is learning to sit with your anxiety without reacting. And the second stage is exploring the structure of your anxiety. The structure is quite interesting and most people are never really investigated their anxiety deeply enough to see this structure. But the structure is primarily composed of of two factors.
The first is the habitual reactive thinking itself which feeds that anxiety. So thoughts do not cause anxiety or panic attacks but they do feed that underlying emotion. So learning to see these patterns of reactivity is very important because when you see them clearly you can begin to break that habit using various mindfulness methods that I teach.
The second part of the structure of emotion involves looking at the imagery of the emotion. How you see it and the mind is absolutely critical to the emotion itself. So when we say we feel overwhelmed by anxiety that is a clue right there that the imagery of the anxiety is very large very close and at a high level in your psychological field, it's essentially above you and that's what gives the imagery power to create that particular emotion. So seeing the imagery is very, very helpful indeed because when you can see the imagery, yet again, you can change that imagery, and when you change the imagery you change the emotion. So that's one part of mindfulness therapy.
The third part of mindfulness therapy for anxiety and panic attacks, and other emotions too like depression, is learning to form a non-reactive relationship with the emotion and responding to the emotion with compassion. That is, developing a relationship that is interested in helping that underlying emotion heal. So developing a healing relationship with your anxiety is also very, very essential if you are to recover from anxiety or panic attacks.
So if you'd like to learn more about how to overcome panic attacks without medication or how to treat anxiety without medication, then please go to my website, learn more, and then email me to schedule a therapy session via Skype. Thank you.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy for anxiety and depression. If you'd like to overcome depression and anxiety without medication then the mindfulness therapy approach that I teach online should help you tremendously.
The most important single step that we need to learn in order to break free from the habits of anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive thinking is to change the way that we relate to our mind, that is to our anxiety or depression and to the thoughts that feed anxiety and depression.
The most common situation that we find ourselves in is that we become trapped by these thoughts or emotions. The moment they are triggered they essentially suck us in and cause to become identified with those objects of mind. We lose perspective and we become reactive, we become controlled by the emotions and thoughts and in that way we actually inadvertently feed the depression or anxiety.
So the most important part of online therapy for depression and anxiety is developing a mindful relationship with the mind.
During the online therapy sessions I will teach you exactly how to do this, how to apply mindfulness to develop this greater resilience and greater freedom in relationship to emotions and thoughts.
