Conventional counseling can be beneficial, but often it does not transform the the underlying process that is the real cause of your anxiety and depression.

The same can be said for medications - the medication may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications are not able to heal the underlying cause that causes the emotional suffering.

The kind of psychotherapy that I offer is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which is quite effective for overcoming chronic anxiety and for treating chronic depression or other emotional difficulties caused by habitual reactive thinking. Most people see quite dramatic improvements after 3-4 sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder, Colorado and I offer a world-wide service of therapy over Skype for the treatment of anxiety and for non-clinical depression; for help with recovery from addictions, and for a variety of other common emotional problems that you may be experiencing.

Skype therapy is a very convenient way of getting the kind of help that you might be looking for, for managing anxiety or depression or other difficult emotions.

The online format is particularly suitable for people suffering from anxiety. Many people who suffer from anxiety find it difficult to leave home, so therapy over Skype is a very good option for them.

The whole basis, really, of the online therapy service that I offer is to teach you very effective mindfulness-based techniques for overcoming long standing patterns of anxiety or depression.

Mindfulness gives you a way of changing your relationship to the mind, to the emotions and to the thoughts and to the beliefs that really determine how you feel and the quality of your life.

For most of us, we find that we tend to blindly identify with emotional reactions and thoughts and beliefs that have become established over the years. When we become identified with mind in this way then we become limited by those identifications and this begins to contract your sense of your self, your ability to respond to changing circumstances and challenges, and it reduces the quality of life quite dramatically.

The optimum state of mental health is when we are not identified with thoughts or beliefs or memories or particular emotional reactions. The ideal state of health is when we are free to respond in the moment, skillfully and compassionately to the precise needs that present themselves during each moment of our life.

This is what mindfulness teaches you how to do: How to live more presently with life in general, but also with your mind as well - how to live presently with anxiety or depression without becoming lost in those emotional states or in the reactive thinking that is triggered by those emotional states. If you want to heal anxiety and depression then you have to be free to respond skillfully to those emotions that have arisen.

Therapy over Skype for overcoming Anxiety and Depression

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide Mindfulness Therapy over Skype. I have been teaching Mindfulness Therapy for 12 years now and I find it to be extremely effective for working with anxiety and also depression and addictions and many of the common psychological and emotional problems that we experience in life. 

The mindfulness approach is extremely good for working with the mind, with emotions and with thoughts and with traumatic memories also. We learn how to develop a mindful, conscious relationship with our mind. That means we learn how to meditate on the mind. Most people are not used to this approach. They try to either get away from the mind. They may even use meditation to escape the mind, but this is in my opinion the wrong approach. 

We should be learning how to change the relationship that we have with the mind. If you avoid painful emotions or painful thoughts or painful memories then that will basically feed the emotional pain and it will not heal. So avoidance is not a good strategy. And really, any form of reactivity that takes consciousness away from the mind is going to simply leave those emotional reactive habits intact. It will not promote healing. So mindfulness is about developing more consciousness of the mind, not less. 

We do this by meditating on our thoughts, on our emotions, on our memories, on anything that is in a state of suffering, is not resolved properly. So we hold our emotions in the mind. We learn how to build a relationship that is non-reactive and fully present with the emotions or thoughts or memories. 

This is what promotes change and healing: the quality of that non-reactive relationship. Reactivity, whether it's avoidance or aversion or whether it's even just talking about the emotion or labeling it or judging it in some way. 

Any form of reactivity like that will simply feed the underlying habits and will stop it changing. But when you do the opposite, that is cultivate a conscious, mindful relationship with the emotion or other mental objects, then that allows healing to take place. 

It's rather like being by a fire. The nature of the fire is to burn itself out. That is its natural path. But we inadvertently feed the fire by throwing fuel on it. Well reactivity is like that fuel, it feeds the fire of anxiety or depression or any other form of emotional suffering. So the first step in mindfulness training is learning how to overcome that habit of reactivity to our emotional pain whether that's anxiety or depression. 

The second part of mindfulness training is to investigate the structure of your emotions. So this means looking at the imagery of the emotion. What color is it? How large is it? Is it large or small? What is the position of the emotion? How do you see it in the mind? Do you see it above you and does it feel overwhelming? Does it weigh heavily on you? People often experience painful emotions rather like a weight or something heavy weighing down on them. 

What color is it? Very important. Most people, when they look at an emotion like anger, they will see the color red. Depression has the color black, and so on. These colors are all part of the imagery. Now that imagery is what actually creates the emotion. It's what holds it together. So investigating the imagery of our emotions is very important. And when we change that imagery we help the emotion heal. 

So there is a direct relationship between the emotion and the emotional imagery. And when you change one, you change the other. So that is described as the response of compassion, which is a strong part of Mindfulness Therapy. It is not sufficient to just see the emotion and not react to it. We must respond by helping it heal and we do that by changing his imagery. 

So Mindfulness Therapy is an interesting, exciting and really quite novel approach for most people. People really enjoy working with their mind in this way, actually getting to see how their mind works and then developing those skills that promote healing and wellbeing. 

Because it's so focused, Mindfulness Therapy is usually very, very quick at producing substantial changes and improvements. Most people see quite remarkable improvements after just three or four Skype Therapy sessions with me.

Conventional talk therapy can be useful, but often it does not look at the underlying psychological process that is the real cause of your depression or anxiety.

This also applies to the use of medications - the medication may reduce symptoms for awhile, but medications are not able to change the underlying process that generates the anxiety or depression.

The type of psychotherapy that I offer is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be very powerful for handling anxiety as well as for treating chronic depression and other emotional issues where there is an underlying habit of reactive negative thinking.

Therapy over Skype is just as effective as in-person therapy sessions because it really allows you to schedule therapy at a time that is convenient for you and if you have Skype, you can see each other as well as well as talk to each other so you get the right quality of communication as you would meeting with a psychotherapist in-person.

We do this by becoming more consciously aware of our habits, and the more conscious you become, the more mindful you become of your emotional habits, the more choice you develop, the more ability you have to break free from those emotional habits that create your anxiety or your depression.
