Online Mindfulness Therapy through Skype for treating Anxiety & Panic Attacks without using anti-anxiety medications

Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"I came to Peter desperate, my last hope. I had tried other therapies that failed me: Peter’s approach is just what I needed. Instead of fighting the anxiety and trying to push it away or cover it up, you become conscious of it and give it the space that it needs. Eventually it dissipates. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it is the key… and it works! I am real proof. I am now happier and more content than I have ever been in my life."

Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety

If you're watching this video you're probably interested in how to beat anxiety attacks without medication. Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I specialize in online mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety and panic attacks, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, and many other forms of anxiety disorders.

Many of my clients have already tried medications prescribed to them by their doctors or psychiatrists and find that they don't seem to really help in the long run. They might provide some temporary relief from symptoms but they do nothing to really change the underlying psychological process that produces their anxiety or panic attacks. And this is the problem with medications. They're not really designed to change the psychological process that produces anxiety, only the symptoms.

So, if if you're interested in learning how to beat anxiety without the need for medications. You might be interested in learning the methods of mindfulness therapy that I teach online. It's quite easy to get started. All you have to do is send me an email and we can schedule a Skype therapy session at a time that works for you. I see people throughout North America, Europe and the Far East. So it's quite easy to get started is all you need is a good internet connection and Skype.

Mindfulness therapy is extremely effective for working with the underlying process that creates anxiety and also depression. This underlying process is primarily one of habitual reactive thinking It's a process whereby a stream of automatic habitual thoughts gets triggered and then we become lost in this stream of thinking which simply feeds back to the underlying anxiety and strengthens it.

The whole purpose of mindfulness therapy is to help you become more conscious of these underlying psychological habits so that you can change them. Because the moment you become really conscious of these habits, that consciousness always brings with it an element of choice. And you can begin to change the habits quite directly simply by making it more conscious.

You can also change the habit by working with the structure of the emotion itself, which is really about changing the internal imagery of the emotion. So, all emotions are structured around some form of experiential imagery - it's the way we see the anxiety in the mind that determines its strength. So, consciousness and mindfulness will help you uncover this internal imagery and when you cover that imagery again you have choice. And in this case you can choose to change that imagery. And when you change the imagery you change the emotion. You are essentially teaching the emotion how to change itself when he changes imagery.

Simply email me if you'd like to learn more about how to work with emotional imagery, it's a very fascinating area and very, very effective in deed the most emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. It also works very well for emotional trauma.

So I work with PTSD as well. The trauma is produced, of course, by those very painful memories that come back as flashbacks. All those memories are, essentially, images and those images have certain qualities which can be changed. When you change the imagery of the trauma you will change the intensity of that emotional trauma as well.

So this is an overview of how we can use mindfulness therapy for working with anxiety and other emotional problems associated with anxiety. If you would like to learn how to beat anxiety without using medications, please go to my website, learn more and then send me an email, and we can schedule a trial Skype session for you so you can see for yourself just how effective the mindfulness approach can be.

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy by Skype for treating Anxiety & Panic Attacks without depending on drugs

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.

How to Stop Anxiety Attacks through Online Mindfulness Therapy

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer via Skype for the treatment of anxiety, including panic attacks, also other common psychological emotional problems such as depression, OCD, addiction, etc.

So I'm often asked how can I stop anxiety attacks? They are very distressing for people. I'm sure you know this yourself if you're suffering from anxiety attacks. They are quite crippling. They limit you tremendously in what you can do, and the fear of having panic attacks is often so strong that you tend to become more and more isolated and Agoraphobia is a very common endpoint for people who are struggling with chronic panic attacks.

I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety and panic attacks during our sessions together. But the principles are fairly straightforward and something that really does produce results.

So the first principle is learning to change our relationship to our emotions and thoughts and other content that make up the mind.

So by changing our relationship to the content of mind, these mental objects, thoughts emotions, etc., what we're doing is learning how to become the observer, our True Self, as I call it. So the True Self is not the thoughts and emotions, it's the conscious awareness of the thoughts and emotions and that is quite different. The basic cause of our suffering is that we lose this objectivity you like and we become identified with the contents of mind we literally lose our perspective as the observer and we become contracted into the very small and limited consciousness of thoughts and emotions and other mental objects. We become the object.

We look at it very carefully. We learn how to meditate on the anxiety. In that way you train yourself out of the habit of becoming consumed by the anxiety. You learn how to remain as the observer. So that's the first part of training in Mindfulness Therapy. We call this developing equanimity and that is the bedrock of mindfulness training and the bedrock of the process that leads to liberation from suffering, like anxiety.

The second step is to explore all of the different parts of the reactive process; all of the thoughts, in particular that feed that anxiety. So we learn to see those in the same way as mental objects. We remain as the observer, or True Self, and the objects are just reduced to being objects. They have no power over you as long as you stay conscious.

The next stage in our mindfulness training is learning how to heal the anxiety by developing a compassionate relationship towards it. So the first training is in developing equanimity towards the anxiety. The second stage is really about developing compassion towards the anxiety, which we see has an object in pain.

So we see the anxiety being like a child and then we simply allow our innate wisdom to become active to produce action that will help heal that inner child. So we work with the anxiety in that way.

One of the principle mechanisms by which anxiety heals is by changing its imagery. So we explore the imagery of our emotions during our mindfulness meditation on our anxiety. We look at the imagery of that anxiety. We look at the position of the emotion. Where do we actually see it? Can we move it to a better position where it feels more at ease, where we can comfort the anxiety?

It is quite surprising the results you can see when you simply take the emotion and move it. This works extremely well in things like performance anxiety or driving anxiety. You take the anxiety and you move it beside you. Put it in the passenger seat or put it on the table beside you or on a chair beside you if you're giving a presentation. Giving it a better position than being stuck in your throat, for example, is very, very productive.

So this is all part of Mindfulness Therapy and is what I will teach you in great detail during our Skype Therapy sessions together. It's very effective and most people who use the mindfulness approach that I teach see dramatic changes within just a few sessions.
