Skype Therapy - Counseling via Skype for Anxiety & Depression
The primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to treat the root psychological cause of your anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, stress, PTSD and emotional trauma and other forms of psychological pain rather than just trying to manage symptoms through medication.
Mindfulness Therapy is a form of Buddhist Psychotherapy based on the teachings of Buddhist Psychology, which focuses on teaching you how to change the relationship that you have with your mind, your thoughts, beliefs, memories, and especially your emotions. The primary goal is to cultivate freedom in relationship to your mind instead of trying to control and "fix" the mind.
Mindfulness is a special form of consciousness, characterized by direct awareness and non-reactivity (equanimity, upekkha), love (metta), compassion (karuna) and joy (mudita). Mindfulness Therapy focuses on applying these qualities to promote healing of emotional suffering (dukha) and to enhance wellbeing and happiness within and without, in your mind and in your personal and societal relationships.
Everyone can benefit from developing greater kindness and compassion toward the mind and the inner emotional pain that causes suffering. When that inner relationship is right, then it purifies our outer relationships, too. Happiness within = happiness without.
I offer Mindfulness Therapy online via Skype or Zoom to make these extraordinary teachings available to anyone, anywhere.
Almost everyone who seeks my help has already tried conventional counseling. This may be excellent for treating acute emotional problems, but most people tell me that it is seldom sufficient to overcome chronic anxiety or depression. Most of my clients have tried prescription medications and are looking for an alternative approach, a more holistic approach that focuses on healing rather than just treating symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy (Skype Therapy) focuses on teaching you how to work with your mind, giving you practical tools that you can apply yourself to promote healing and wellbeing. In this way it is quite different from the treatment-based approaches of clinical psychotherapy.
Everyone I have worked with really benefits from the Mindfulness Therapy 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."

Skype Therapy for recovering from chronic anxiety and depression
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in online mindfulness therapy. So a lot of people are looking for Skype therapy for anxiety and depression. Skype Therapy is a very effective and very convenient way of getting the help that you need to overcome your anxiety or depression. I offer a Skype Therapy, and have done so for over ten years now, in which I specifically teach mindfulness therapy for help with anxiety and depression and also addictions and many of the common psychological problems that cause emotional suffering.
So if you'd like to get started with Skype Therapy with me then simply e-mail me. Tell me more about yourself and what's happening for you emotionally and I'll be happy to explain to you how we can work on reducing the level of emotional suffering that you're experiencing by using the methods of mindfulness therapy.
I will teach you specifically how to apply mindfulness yourself for working with your emotions. This greatly increases the effectiveness of this approach. So we will work on your anxiety or depression during sessions using mindfulness but you will be able to continue that work between sessions. This means that you will see results much quicker than in conventional talk therapy.
We work at a very practical level really learning how to work with our thoughts and with our emotions more effectively. We have to learn how to break free from that habit of becoming overwhelmed by reactive thinking or becoming a prisoner of our learned emotional reactions.
Anxiety and Depression are best thought of as being habits. They are learned habits. We acquire these habits and then we become a prisoner of them. So mindfulness therapy is a way of learning how to break free from these habits and how to neutralize them.
So all habits thrive on unawareness, they operate unconsciously, and in mindfulness therapy we employ more consciousness. We learn how to bring conscious awareness to these habits and that's one of the first principles for breaking out of any kind of habit is to make them more conscious, to bring consciousness to them. And the way we do that is by actually learning to meditate on our anxiety or depression or other emotions. This is a way of bringing that consciousness to them that will eventually break the habit.
We learn to observe our reactive thoughts as well. Reactive thoughts effectively feeds anxiety and depression and when they are operating unconsciously they provide a continuous source of fuel. So we need to see these patterns of reactive thinking very clearly and we need to change our relationship to them so that they don't overwhelm us, they don't take away our choice, they don't control us.
So we meditate on our thoughts. This way we become the observer of those thoughts. Being the observer stops us becoming identified with the thoughts. So that process of reactive identification is the main problem. It Is the way that we simply become overwhelmed and identified with conditioned emotional reactions and thoughts. So we learn to break free from that by developing more consciousness. That is the first training in mindfulness therapy.
The second is learning to change the emotion itself, learning to heal that anxiety or depression. So healing is a very big part of mindfulness therapy. There are many aspects to the healing process but the most important is developing this conscious and caring relationship that is so much a part of mindfulness training with your emotions. We learn to develop compassion towards your anxiety or depression. We learn to develop compassion towards your emotional pain. This is an essential part of the healing process. The biggest problem for most people is that the anxiety or depression becomes isolated, they become disconnected from the emotional pain. And when that emotional pain is disconnected or abandoned or neglected then it cannot heal.
If you'd like to learn more about the mindfulness approach for healing anxiety and depression please contact me. This approach is very effective. People usually see quite big changes after the first few sessions with me.

Online Therapist Specializing in the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders via Skype
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders. I also treat depression online and I offer addiction counseling online, as well.
The psychotherapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly effective for treating the underlying cause of anxiety and other emotional states like depression and OCD.
When we are working with anxiety, we need to not just talk about our emotions as in conventional "talk therapy", but we need to look at the underlying process, the process of reactive habitual thinking that creates the anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy focuses very closely on identifying these patterns of negative thoughts that generate anxiety, depression or addictions.
When we find these thoughts, we then begin the process of changing how they affect us. We do this mostly by the process of developing conscious awareness of those thoughts themselves. A thought only has power if operates habitually, out of awareness, and this is what we overcome during Mindfulness Therapy.
If you can develop conscious awareness of those reactive thoughts, then they are not able to convert into the emotion. It's like, the same as a car, if you place the car in neutral, that car can no longer move, no matter how much you press the accelerator. It's the same with reactive thoughts, they only have power if we are unaware of them and if we become identified with them, and we become overwhelmed by them, lost in those thoughts.
The second part of Mindfulness Therapy for treating anxiety disorders involves looking at the actual structure of the emotion underneath the reactive thoughts. What is the nature of that emotion? What is the internal imagery that holds that emotional imagery together?
For example, if an emotion is very intense, then the chances are that your internal picture of that emotion will be very large and very close. That's what you see internally and that's what you react to through over-thinking, or that's what your body also reacts to in the flight-or-fight type response.
When we can find this internal imagery, we can change it, using mindfulness to explore detailed changes that we can make that produce changes in the emotion. In this way we can actually reprogram that emotion, we can change it totally, we can defuse it, so that it doesn't get triggered. When we neutralize the emotion, then the reactive thinking begins to change also, because there is nothing fueling that reactive thinking.
So, these are two of the focuses of online Mindfulness Therapy that I offer via Skype.
If you would like to learn more about this online therapy service, please visit my website and email me, and then we can schedule an online therapy session.

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapist via Skype for Managing Depression without using antidepressants
Talk to a Psychotherapist Online over Skype for highly effective online treatment for Depression and Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia, Addictions, and other psychological and emotional problems, including PTSD.
To overcome depression you must develop a conscious and mindful relationship with your emotional pain, whatever form that takes. The biggest problem that prevents recovery from depression is automatic and habitual reactive thinking and rumination, where we become lost in negative thinking and negative beliefs. This reactivity feeds depression and prevents depression from healing. The more we can break free from reactive thinking the faster we will recover.
The main factor that supports reactive thinking is the lack of conscious awareness. We become controlled by the habitual thoughts that we do not see. Mindfulness Therapy provides an extremely effective way to restore consciousness allowing us to regain freedom and choice in relation to our thoughts making them less reactive. Thoughts themselves are not the problem, it is the lack of consciousness that is the real problem. Re-establishing a conscious relationship with our thoughts and emotional reactions is the most important step in the recovery from depression and most other forms of emotional suffering.
Antidepressants may have a limited value in the short-term management of symptoms of depression, but medications are not a substitute for the psychological work of re-establishing inner conscious awareness. This is the primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy, and it is very effective for most people.
Online Mindfulness Therapy, available via Skype, offers a very effective way to manage and to overcome chronic depression by teaching you how to manage rumination and reactive thinking which feed depression as well as teaching you how to develop a non-reactive and compassionate relationship with the underlying emotions such as fear, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, emotional trauma, profound loss, guilt and shame and overwhelming emotional stress. These core emotions need to heal inorder to fully recover from chronic depression and Mindfulness Therapy provides an extremely good approach for doing just this.

Online Mindfulness Therapy to overcome OCD intrusive thoughts via Skype
The principal teaching in Mindfulness Therapy for treating obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is to learn how to meditate on your intrusive thoughts and on the impulses that lead to compulsive actions.
The critical teaching here is that we must develop a conscious relationship with our thoughts and with our emotions. Mindfulness meditation provides one of the best and most direct ways of developing a conscious relationship with your mind.
The biggest problem that I come across when helping people manage OCD is that people fall into a habit of avoidance. You try to blot out or escape from those unpleasant intrusive thoughts and you react against those impulses to convert your intrusive thoughts into actions through willpower, through cultivating aversion to those compulsive impulses.
This will not work. The more that you react either through avoidance or through aversion, the stronger the underlying emotional charge will be for those intrusive thoughts and compulsive impulses.
So trying to overcome OCD through willpower or through rational thinking or some other cognitive process is not usually a very effective.
One of my main criticisms of cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD is that it tries to convince people that the intrusive thoughts and impulses are irrational and not real, and that you can simply replace them with more rational or positive thoughts and behaviors. But, in my experience, this is not an effective approach.
People already know that their OCD thoughts and impulses are irrational. That is not the issue for the vast majority of people. The problem is they can't stop themselves reacting. They can't stop those repetitive thoughts and behaviors. They are just too strong.
What makes Intrusive thoughts and impulses strong is the emotional charge of those thoughts and impulses. The strength of the emotional charge is the issue, not irrational thinking, and this is the primary focus in Mindfulness Therapy. We work on those emotions. We work on neutralizing the underlying emotions, not the thoughts.
The thoughts and the behaviors are secondary, they are the logical consequences of those very strong underlying emotions. The intrusive-obsessive thoughts are simply the byproducts of the underlying emotion.
So if you want to overcome OCD, you have to work with the underlying emotions that are giving power to your intrusive thoughts or memories, including traumatic memories, as in PTSD. You have to neutralize the emotion in order for those thoughts and memories and impulses to heal and to resolve and to stop being intrusive.
The thoughts are intrusive simply because they have a high emotional charge. So the mind is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The mind brings into into our awareness, thoughts, memories, experiences that have a high emotional charge and those that don't have a high emotional charge resolve very quickly.
So the mind is working perfectly. The problem is not the thoughts but rather the emotional charge underneath that has become fixed and has become stuck and unresolved.
Most thoughts and experiences arise and pass away quite quickly. But in the case of OCD thoughts and impulses, they don't pass away. They stay for a long period of time in the mind because of that strong emotional charge. That is what MUST heal in order for thoughts to stop being intrusive.
So we work at the emotional level. And the primary way that we work with the emotional charge that's fueling intrusive thoughts and behaviors is by learning how to meditate on our emotions and thoughts.
So instead of trying to avoid our thoughts and impulses, we actually do the opposite, we bring them into full conscious awareness, which is really quite different than how they usually arise, which is subconscious and habitual. OCD is basically formed around conditioned habits. These are subconscious, habitual reactions that keep those thoughts arising over and over again. It's a habit. Habits thrive when there is very little or no consciousness.
So we need to overcome that unconscious habit. And that's a central part of the teaching of mindfulness therapy as I have developed it for treating OCD. It's about developing full conscious awareness around those specific obsessive thoughts and compulsive emotional impulses.
During meditation you learn to be fully present with your thoughts and emotions. Developing this very special quality of conscious awareness that we call "objective consciousness", where you are able to see the thoughts and emotions, but as an observer, rather like watching a movie as the audience.
The real issue here is that we become lost in the movie of our mind and that is what perpetuates OCD. So we learn to meditate on our mind. We learn to bring those intrusive thoughts deliberately into our awareness to develop this objective consciousness. We learn to be very present with those thoughts and the underlying emotion that are fueling the thoughts. This is what leads to healing. This is the necessary step for healing and recovery from OCD.
So willpower, which is really cultivating aversion towards the impulses and thoughts, is actually taking conscious awareness away from those emotions and thoughts as we become ensnared in the conditioned awareness of aversion or dislike or hatred or criticism of those thoughts and impulses.
So we need to learn to be present directly, without any reactivity at all, without any aversion, without any avoidance, without any cognitive reactivity. Trying to understand the emotion, trying to change our beliefs and things of that nature will be ineffective. Beliefs change themselves once the emotional impulse that fuels those particular beliefs changes.
You have to change things at the emotional level in order for beliefs and obsessive thoughts to change. If that emotional charge remains strong, then the obsessive belief will remain active. For example, the belief that if I don't wash my hands 10 more times, then I will be carrying those germs to my family.
So I must wash my hands 10 more times. That's a belief. And what keeps it strong and active is the emotional charge of that belief. The problem is not being irrational; the problem lies in the emotional charge that cause us to attach to the belief.
The most common emotional charge around OCD is fear. So we need to learn to heal that fear.
The best way to heal fear is by developing a conscious, mindful relationship with that fear. We learn to see the fear as being like a child. It can't free itself from its own fear so it goes to its parent for comforting. We need to establish the same kind of inner relationship with our fear. The True Self-Little Self alliance is what I call it, and that is the most effective and necessary step for healing the fear that is keeping those obsessive thoughts active in the case of handwashing.
Once that fear is resolved you will no longer be dominated by those intrusive thoughts. They will cease to have any effect, any meaning. They will not convert into the impulse to wash your hands because there's no emotional charge behind them. They are neutralized and are now just empty thoughts and they just resolve to be replaced by more functional, positive thoughts quite naturally and without any effort.
So we have to work at the emotional level of OCD. That's the primary teaching in Mindfulness Therapy. And this is what I will teach you during our sessions together as an online therapist.
I will teach you these very specific mindfulness tools for overcoming your OCD.
Online therapy is an excellent option for working with anxiety disorders and also for depression and PTSD and other forms of emotional suffering that are caused by these underlying subconscious habits.
The key requirement for successful online therapy is that you can see your therapist by a Skype or Zoom or FaceTime or other video platform. Being able to see each other makes communication effective and that's necessary for good psychotherapy.
So if you're suffering from OCD and you would like to get help from an online therapist to treat that OCD using mindfulness, then do please contact me so we can schedule a Skype Therapy session.
You can expect to see very noticeable improvements in your obsessive, intrusive thoughts and compulsive actions in a relatively short time, once you start applying these mindfulness techniques that I'll be teaching you.
So please contact me so we can schedule a Skype Therapy session to help you on your path of recovery from obsessive compulsive disorder.

Online Therapy for PTSD
Learn how to apply mindfulness for breaking free from reactive identification with thoughts, emotional reactions and memories.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness therapist and I offer mindfulness therapy online. If you're interested in mindfulness for trauma and for post-traumatic stress disorder then please go to my website and learn more about mindfulness therapy for recovery from trauma and PTSD, and email me to learn more, to ask any questions you may have, and also to schedule the Skype therapy session with me for PTSD or trauma recovery.
So during these online therapy sessions I'll be teaching you how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation for aiding your recovery from emotional trauma or PTSD. There are two basic principles that we developed during these online mindfulness therapy sessions for PTSD. The first is the incredibly needed skill of breaking free from the habit of reactive identification with your thoughts and with your own emotional reactions.
This is by far the biggest problem that creates emotional suffering. So, when thoughts or emotional reactions arise our tendency is to become completely identified with them. And so we become captivated by our thoughts and our memories. We become prisoners of all thoughts and our memories and we become basically controlled by them when we become identified with them.
So mindfulness training is all about learning how to change the relationship with your thoughts and traumatic memories and emotional reactions so that you do not become identified with them, so that you can see these mental objects as the Observer, the True Self that can see the contents of mind without becoming prisoners of the content of the mind.
So that's the first most important mindfulness training is learning how to develop what we call "independence" from our mind, from the thoughts, from the memories, from the emotions that arise in the mind.
The second part of the trauma recovery will involve working with the imagery of the trauma itself. Working with the imagery, changing the imagery, so that it does not cause the emotional trauma, the emotional reaction. It's very easy to do this when we start to develop a conscious, mindful relationship with our trauma. If we continue to react to it, we can't see what's there and if we don't see the nature of that imagery then we can change it. we become a prisoner of it.
But, once you start to uncover the imagery and see how it actually works you can change the structure of that imagery. One simple technique is to make the imagery smaller, because the imagery of a trauma is generally very large and it has to be large in order to create the emotional trauma. If you can make the image smaller then you will reduce the ability of that memory to produce emotional trauma.
There are many other things we can do as well with mindfulness, but these are two areas: we work on changing your relationship to your trauma and also changing the imagery itself that is responsible for producing the emotional reactions associated with the trauma.
If you'd like to learn more about mindfulness for trauma and PTSD recovery, then please go to my website and e-mail me to schedule a Skype therapy session.

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Stress Reduction
Online Mindfulness Therapy for Stress Reduction provides an extremely effective tool for managing stress. During these online mindfulness therapy sessions I will teach you specific ways of working with the habitual patterns of reactive thinking that contribute so much to emotional stress, worrying, anxiety and depression.
This approach is very effective because it works on changing the underlying process that causes stress, and most people see dramatic improvements and significant reduction in their stress levels after 3-4 online sessions.
The first step in mindfulness training is to train ourselves to become aware of reactive thoughts the moment they arise. Of course our habit is one of unawareness, which results in becoming lost in our thoughts. The thoughts proliferate and overpower the mind causing emotional stress and anxiety.
When the mind becomes crowded with thoughts it become less able to make decisions and skillful actions and more prone to error, which causes more stress-based thinking.
Reactive thinking creates a vicious cycle that leads to more stress and more reactive thinking. If we do not gain control of this reactive process it can lead to depression and chronic anxiety. Chronic stress can also lead to health problems and can seriously affect our relationships, too.
When we are over-stressed we tend to become more irritable and angry. Our family life suffers and we often become more withdrawn and disconnected from life. Chronic stress can also lead to addiction, and is one of the major contributing factors for alcoholism and substance abuse.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional online therapist. I offer online therapy via Skype for anxiety, depression and for stress.
I teach Mindfulness Therapy for stress reduction. This approach is very effective for helping you change the underlying process that causes emotional stress. Now, what is that underlying process?
Well, if you look closely you will see that the majority of stress that we experience is produced by uncontrolled reactive thinking. We may find some stimulus that generates an anxiety or concern and then immediately we start proliferating thoughts; thoughts around "What if...?" or anticipation of some kind of catastrophe.
So, this kind of catastrophic thinking, rumination, or just general proliferation of thought from the single stimulus is what generates most of our emotional reactivity.
The purpose of online mindfulness therapy for reducing stress is to teach you how to prevent this process of reactive proliferation of thinking.
Mindfulness is a very sophisticated tool of awareness that allows you to see what is happening when it is happening so you can catch these reactive thinking processes earl on, before they start to gain momentum and cause emotional stress.
So that is, in brief, what we focus on during these sessions of online mindfulness therapy for emotional stress reduction. If you would like to learn more, please read my website and then please contact me and we can schedule a Skype therapy session to help you work on reducing your stress levels through mindfulness therapy.

The primary problem is that that emotional energy feeds the compulsive impulses of the addiction. You have to change those underlying emotions in order to overcome addiction effectively.
Mindfulness is extremely good at doing this because it teaches you how to build a conscious relationship with your emotions. The real problem is that we fall into patterns of avoidance and aversion. We don't like painful emotions, we try to get away from them. But in so doing you inadvertently feed those emotions and you prevent them from healing. It's essential to develop a conscious and also friendly relationship with your emotions if they are to heal. They require others and that's what we specialize in, and I will teach you join these online therapy sessions that I authored via Skype exactly how to do this. It is not that difficult.

I will teach you how to develop and cultivate this mindfulness relationship with your emotions that will promote healing. You can practice this between sessions yourself.

Standard counseling can be helpful, but often it does not transform the underlying structure that is the real cause of your depression or anxiety.
The same can be said for medications - the medication may relieve symptoms for a while, but medications will not are not effective for transforming the underlying cause that produces the emotional suffering.
The type of psychotherapy that I provide is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be extremely powerful for handling chronic anxiety as well as for treating depression and other common psychological difficulties resulting from habitual reactive thinking. Most of my clients notice quite significant changes after the first couple of sessions of Mindfulness Therapy.

If you would like to talk to a psychologist online who specializes in mindfulness therapy then please simply go to my website and send me an email and ask any questions you have about mindfulness therapy and this approach and how it can help you with your specific needs.
Generally, online therapy is very effective indeed, especially for anxiety and non-clinical depression. It is a much better alternative than years of talk therapy or other treatment-based options because Mindfulness Therapy teaches you specifically how to change your emotional reactions.
All emotional reactions are basically habits and all habits can be changed when you bring more consciousness to them. So, when you apply mindfulness to an emotional habit like anxiety or depression it changes, and it makes it much more effective in what you do in trying to help that anxiety or depression resolve and heal.
Basically, the most important thing is to build a mindfulness-based relationship with your emotions, based on consciousness and compassion. These two qualities are what really characterize mindfulness; it's much more than just awareness. Most people are already aware of their emotional suffering, but they are not necessarily conscious of the emotional habit, the underlying process that creates their anxiety or depression.
This consists of habitual reactive thinking and habitual reactive behaviors and also habitual reactive imagery. One of the hallmarks of Mindfulness Therapy is examining the imagery of your emotions, what makes them work. And, of course, when you uncover that emotional imagery you have something very definite to work with, and when you change emotional imagery, you change the emotion.

Skype Therapy with a Therapist Online
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist. I offer Skype therapy for the treatment of anxiety, depression, addictions and other emotional problems.
There are many therapists using Skype nowadays. It's becoming more the norm than it used to be, and this is because people want easier access to the techniques and methods of psychotherapy to help them overcome long-standing emotional problems such as anxiety or depression. It is not necessary to regard anxiety or depression as being a medical condition. For most people it is simply a learned habit, they have learned how to become anxious or depressed, and these habits respond well to approaches that are designed to help you restructure the way you think and restructure the relationship you have to your emotions.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is particularly suitable for working with anxiety and depression. It helps you change that underlying process that creates anxiety or depression or that fuels an addiction.
Fundamentally, what Mindfulness Therapy teaches you is how to basically change your relationship to your mind - to your thoughts and your emotions so that you do not become overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions. We learn how to become conscious of thoughts and in that way we actually become free from our thoughts, because when you are conscious of them you are the OBSERVER that is conscious of the mind. When we become captivated by our thoughts, when we become prisoners of our emotions, that is when the problems start. We lose our identity as our True Self, the Observer that sees the content of mind.
It's only when you develop full conscious awareness of your mind that you can begin to change things. So, in Mindfulness Therapy we learn practical methods to actually develop a conscious relationship with your emotions. We learn to "sit" with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, without becoming lost in your emotions. You learn to meditate on your emotions, you learn to meditate on your thoughts, without becoming identified with your emotions or thoughts.
When you can establish this mindfulness-based relationship with the content of your mind, then you can begin to change that content - you begin to develop choice. When we are identified with our emotions and thoughts we have no choice, we just live out conditioning. So, that's the problem of Conditioned Mind.
When we develop consciousness, we actually change our position entirely, to become the Observer, the True Self, and that is not conditioned. So, that is where the element of choice begins to develop, we begin to see how we can change our emotions, we see how we can change how we see our emotions and thoughts in the mind. We change our relationship to them and through this process we gain more and more freedom.
So, it is breaking emotional habits. That is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy and the Skype therapy sessions that I provide. Learning to break free from our emotional habits that imprison us and that dictate how we feel.
