Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is an excellent choice for most people because it works on changing the root cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just treating symptoms. The focus is on teaching you practical tools and methods between sessions. This is why most people experience significant improvements very much quicker than is reported for the more conventional counseling through talking about your feelings.

Everyone that I have worked with really enjoys the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"After 8 years, two therapists, many self-help books…..my hypochondria and OCD was worse than ever. I figured I would just have to live like this and deal with it. I put on a good show in front of people and cried alone. Then, I stumbled upon Peter’s website. I figured this was my last attempt. Peter is kind, understanding, and patient. He helped guide me out of the dark and see the light. He is truly there to help. He never looks at his time during sessions. I would have to remind him that time is up. His rates are reasonable so everyone cam get proper therapy. He gave me practical tools to use to overcome my anxiety. He is always available via email for advice. He truly cares about the progress of his patients. Peter changed my life and gave me the chance to enjoy my life again. I am eternally grateful to him."

Many people prefer the privacy of online therapy for working on difficult emotional problems. I provide online therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety, depression, addictions and for healing from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly good for anxiety and trauma because the central focus is learning how to re-experience your trauma without becoming re-traumatized. There is a core focus of investigating the structure of the inner imagery of both the event (injury, rape, natural disaster, illness, substantial loss, death of a loved one, significant life-changing event, etc) and the associated emotions themselves, which also exist as imagery in the mind. Imagery is how the mind associates emotional energy with a memory, thought or belief. Change the imagery and you change the emotion...
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online therapist. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and for the treatment of depression and addictions, and also for working with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Mindfulness Therapy is a more advanced form of cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, that helps you work with the underlying structure of your trauma, the emotional trauma that is creating your symptoms. Whatever the source of that trauma, it has an underlying structure, and that structure is in the form of imagery. We literally create an internal picture both of the traumatic event, and also of the associated emotions that were activated by that traumatic event.
So, whatever the source, whether it's a disaster, or whether it's the result of military activity, or the trauma experienced by medical personnel, fire-fighter, or witnessing a disaster…There are many cause of trauma, some of which are well known and others are less well known. But, the characteristic of all trauma is that it represents an experience that was overwhelming and that the mind was not able to process, was not able to resolve and integrate into the general memory.
So, it remains, essentially, stuck. It remains stuck in the form of an internal image or set of images that are resistant to change. Those images persist, and a very import ant part of Mindfulness Therapy for PTSD is seeing these images, which become clearer when we start to explore them with mindfulness, with this quality of conscious awareness where we become an observer, observing this internal structure of the emotion itself.
This process is very effective, indeed, and many people will see quite substantial changes after relatively few sessions. The reason why it is so effective is simply because we are exploring the underlying cause, that imagery, rather than just treating symptoms with medications or conventional talk therapy.
If you are interested in working with an online therapist for PTSD and you would like to schedule a session with me via Skype, please go to my website and email me, and then we can discuss if Mindfulness Therapy is a good approach for you to choose, and if you feel comfortable with this approach then we can schedule a Skype therapy session.

Mindfulness Psychotherapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer online via Skype, for the treatment of anxiety, for help with depression and also for helping in the process of recovery from PTSD and processing traumatic memories whether they are due to that traumatic events like an accident, a car accident, or of course, the traumatic events that may occur during war, or other violent assault, or even the traumatic events simply of witnessing a traumatic a violent assault. Many police officers and first responders struggle with processing traumatic memories that they encounter in their line of work.
So there are many different approaches of course to working with PTSD, but I find the mindfulness approach to be particularly effective. And the reason is because it focuses on the exact mechanism that is going on in your mind that creates that emotional trauma.
And there are two basic processes that we work on here. The first is learning how to change our relationship to how traumatic memories so that we do not become consumed by emotional or cognitive reactivity. We have to learn to witness those traumatic memories without becoming overwhelmed. So that's a very important part of Mindfulness Therapy, learning how to do that. And I will teach you how to do that in our online therapy sessions together.
Another very important part of processing traumatic memories is to change the imagery of the memory, how you see that memory in the mind is what actually re-traumatizes you. That imagery, the structure of the imagery, is what encodes the emotional pain. So during Mindfulness Therapy we explore the imagery of the emotion and we explore changing that imagery. When you change the imagery of an emotion you change the emotion.
A simple example of that is how large the image is that you see when you recall the traumatic event and how close that image is in your mind's eye. Typically intense traumatic images are very large and very close. So that feature of the imagery, being very large and that quality of being very close, is what actually creates the emotional trauma.
Now normally for most people we are constantly processing our memory images and changing that imagery quite naturally and unconsciously. Typically images start off large and close and vivid and over time they become small and distant and faded. That's a natural process that the mind uses to digest experiences, especially emotionally charged experiences.
However when the emotional charge is too high as in the case of a traumatic memory, then that normal processing doesn't happen and the imagery becomes stuck, frozen in time. And this is what lies behind flashbacks and intrusive memories that keep coming back and re-traumatizing us. It's simply that the imagery has not changed, it becomes stuck.
So during Mindfulness Therapy we work a great deal on exploring that imagery and then changing it to help it resolve and heal. It is really quite an effective method. It's something I call mindfulness-based image reprocessing and it can produce quite dramatic changes in a very short time. Once you see the imagery and start exploring how to change that imagery to allow that memory to try to digest, essentially, so that it no longer causes emotional pain.
So those are two of the aspects of Mindfulness Therapy that we explore. The first is learning how to witness the memory without reacting and without feeding that emotional pain through reactivity, and the second part is reprocessing the memory imagery itself. When you combine both of these approaches you can produce remarkably consistent changes and promote recovery in a relatively short time, within a few weeks.
So if you would like to learn more about mindfulness-based psychotherapy for recovery from PTSD or for working with the associated emotions around PTSD that often form as reactive emotions to that initial trauma; emotions like guilt shame, anger, and so on. These can all be worked on very effectively using the well-tested methods of Mindfulness Therapy that I use and have developed and refined over the last ten years.
