Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy 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 techniques that you can apply yourself between sessions. This is why most people see results very much quicker than is reported for the usual talking therapy.

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.

The role of traumatic memory in PTSD

Welcome. So I'd like to talk a little bit about the role of traumatic memories in PTSD. So typically visual memories are processed naturally by the mind and they undergo certain changes in their properties over time.

So typically a memory will start off large and intense in detail and color and will seem very close. But over time the image becomes smaller in size. It seems to become more distant. There's a spatial reorganization of its position in our visual memory and it looses details and becomes more fuzzy, in effect. So this is a natural process by which the mind processes visual imagery.

Now in the case of traumatic imagery this process doesn't happen, so the traumatic imagery remains at its original level of intensity in the mind. It remains very large, very close, and typically very high in the psychological visual field and very intense colors and details and other properties that essentially keep that experience alive, because imagery is the primary way that the mind organizes emotion. So intense large imagery will create intense launch emotions.

So the primary issue that we have to deal with when we're working with PTSD or any other kind of traumatic or disturbing intrusive imagery, is to find ways of reprocessing the imagery, helping it resolve itself in this natural way.

The typical kind of ways that we can examine to help it resolve is to make it smaller, to make it further away in how we see it in the mind, to change the color of the imagery. Often changing it from an intense color into black and white can have quite profound effects on the emotional intensity of the image.

So we have to do this consciously, and that is where mindfulness comes in. So the way we do this is that we mindfully meditate on the traumatic image. Look at its details and then start exploring changing the details of how we see that image to help it resolve. We often describe this as helping to digest the sensory overload that is encoded in that imagery. So that's something I have termed mindfulness-based imagery processing, and that's very much a part of my approach to working with PTSD.

If you would like to learn more about this and about how to work with traumatic imagery and intrusive imagery that you may be experiencing, then please email me and let's schedule a therapy session via Skype and I will teach you how to work with your traumatic memories and imagery using the mindfulness-based methods that I've developed and found to be very effective. So please contact me if you'd like to learn more. Thank you.
