If you want to recover completely from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying conditioned anxiety reactions.

Prescription medications don’t address this. Medications only provide a temporary relief from anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. To recover fully you need an effective form of psychotherapy that should include Exposure Therapy and CBT to manage anxiety-based thinking. You also need to work directly on the anxiety that feeds those thoughts.

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on healing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is highly effective and most of my clients see significant decrease in anxiety symptoms after 3-4 Skype Therapy sessions with me.

Online therapy works very well as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is essential for effective communication and good psychotherapy.

Mindfulness Therapy for overcoming Agoraphobia

Mindfulness Therapy (MT) is a form of therapy that develops your ability to form a therapeutic relationship with your inner core emotions; your fears, anxiety and depression in which you first learn to stop the proliferation of reactivity and then embrace the painful emotion with the healing space of mindfulness. This is essential if you want to overcome anxiety and panic attacks.

Most of the time, we avoid or resist our core anxiety and fears according to our learned patterns of habitual reactivity, but the truth is that nothing can change if we avoid or resist our emotions. We have to learn how to face our pain if things are to change.

Mindfulness is a very compassionate practice that teaches us exactly how to go about doing this. It is not easy at first, but with continued practice using the tools I will teach you during online sessions, you will learn how to “sit” with your emotions and create that therapeutic relationship that is so essential for healing and transformation.

When you have learned how to “sit” with your anxiety and the other emotions associated with your agoraphobia then the emotions begin to change, and since you are not running away from them you can actually participate in helping the emotions heal.

We learn to make friends with our emotions, a very important second step in the healing process. The age-old truth is that love heals. Reacting with hatred to your inner negative emotions can not help them heal, yet this is what we tend to do most of the time out of habit and wrong understanding.

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

"The insights that I have gained in the first two sessions of online counseling are proving invaluable. Now I can see a way through my anxiety for the first time. Mindfulness Therapy is amazing."

Online Therapy by Skype for treating Agoraphobia

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in online therapy and I offer online therapy for agoraphobia.

So, agoraphobia online therapy is very effective for people who really can't get out of the house to work with a therapist in their local area.

So, during these sessions that I offer via Skype, I focus on teaching you very effective mindfulness-based methods of working with your anxiety and panic attacks.

The real important thing to understand here is that Agoraphobia is really a psychological habit. I prefer to call it a habit rather than a disorder because when you start labeling these psychological states as disorders that tends to reinforce your sense of helplessness as a victim, and we don't want to do that.

The actual mechanism that generates the anxiety and panic attacks of agoraphobia is a habit and habits can be changed. So during online agoraphobia therapy sessions I will guide you in how to work with the underlying emotions and thought patterns that supports that anxiety.

We do this in a surprising way. We actually learn to make friends with our fear. This is very, very important. You can't change the belief when it has a very strong emotional charge based on fear. No amount of rational arguments or persuasion that you don't need to feel this way is going to change that anxiety. You have to learn to work with the anxiety directly. And that's what you do during mindfulness therapy. We actually learn to meditate on your own fear as you imagine walking or traveling out of your safe zone.

So, we set up a series of challenges, exposures, if you like, where you choose to do a particularly difficult exercise but one that you can manage. But then we prepare for this by playing it through in the mind it might be walking around the block or just simply leaving the house for a few minutes, whatever it might be.

We design a challenge and then we prepare for it by meditating on it. We play it through in the mind and then we look for the fear reactions and we look for the thought reactions that feed that fear and then we develop a mindfulness-based relationship with these emotions and thoughts, and that relationship is based on friendliness.

You learn, essentially, to sit with your emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, without losing your balance. This is central. This is a central part of mindfulness training, that you can be with your thoughts and emotions but not be overwhelmed by them. When you can do dance then you start to break the habits that get reinforced by re-traumatizing, essentially, that fear.

So, we learn to sit with our emotions without becoming reactive and without identifying with those emotions. We learn to develop this other side of our identity, which we call the True Self, the Observer Mind, that which can be conscious of thoughts and emotions but is not identified with thoughts or emotions.

We then work with those emotions and begin to treat them very much as you might treat a child that's afraid. we learn to comfort the emotion itself, the fear. you build a strong relationship with it, rather like a parent to a child. And in this way the fear reaction, that we might call the Little Self is able to let go of its fear by proximity to your True Self which is fearless nature.

So, in this way we begin to build resolution pathways in the brain. You learn, basically, how to help the emotions resolve themselves, so that if they get triggered they simply resolve instantly, on the spot, through the training that you've done before you do the challenge And then you go out and walk around the block or whatever and put this training into action.

So, we repeat this process over and over again. Meditation before challenge and we do the challenge and we may come back and meditate some more and then we repeat the challenge until we no longer feel any fear in doing that challenge. Then we move on to a harder challenge. And in this way we gain more and more confidence in the process.

So, when you are able to neutralize these emotional reactions then the beliefs begin to change quite automatically. We don't need to try and change our beliefs. We simply need to change the emotional content that fuels those beliefs and makes them so powerful.

If you would like to learn more about agoraphobia therapy online do please send me an email and we can schedule a Skype Therapy session. Thank you.

Online Therapy for Agoraphobia without Medication

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I provide online therapy via Skype. So if you're suffering from agoraphobia then Skype therapy can be a wonderful opportunity for you to get the help that you need to uncover these awful habitual patterns of reactivity that keep you imprisoned in your home or in a very restricted area.

So it's very important to find a way of overcoming these habitual anxiety reactions and I have been developing an approach that's called Mindfulness Therapy that's very effective for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders.

Whatever style of psychotherapy you select, it's important that you find one that's very practical, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or Mindfulness Therapy, which is my specialty, and whatever approach you use must include some form of exposure therapy that enables you to start pushing those boundaries out to start overcoming your habitual anxiety reactions.

So I've developed a system called mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia, which works extremely well and is very easy to learn via Skype. I will teach you how to approach your anxiety using mindfulness techniques that you can practice yourself and start to push back those boundaries.

So typically I see people once a week and then they practice the methods that I teach between sessions, and you should expect to see significant changes and improvements after the first three or four weeks.

Once you start applying the methods I will teach you, you will rapidly overcome your anxiety and start to break free from the prison of habitual anxiety.

So the online therapy option of course is very beneficial if not completely necessary if you're suffering from agoraphobia because it's so difficult for you to leave home or travel to see a therapist in their office; it's often impossible.

So if you would like to learn more about Skype therapy for agoraphobia, then do please contact me. Just ask me any questions you have; anything that you want to discuss about this approach. I'm happy to answer questions.

When you're ready though, let's schedule a trial session. I offer a no risk policy. That is that if you don't like the session, you don't like this approach or it doesn't feel right for you, then there's no charge. There's certainly no upfront charge for my sessions. The sessions are based entirely on your satisfaction with the results. So you pay after each session but on condition that you are happy with the results of that session. So it's a no risk approach and I think that's very important.

So if you would like to schedule a trial session with me and get started on a treatment plan that will help you overcome your anxiety and allow you to develop greater freedom from agoraphobia, then do please contact me and we can get started.

I see people throughout North America, but also in Western Europe as well. I am from the UK originally. I now live in Colorado but I see people all over the world and especially people who want to take a very practical and focused approach to working with their anxiety. In my opinion Mindfulness Therapy is one of the most effective approaches there is, followed by CBT. So please contact me if you'd like to get started.

Treating Agoraphobia from Home by Skype

Welcome!. My name is Peter Strong. I provide online therapy via Skype. So treating agoraphobia from home is very important because it's so difficult for you to leave the security of your home or secure area, and being able to get the help you need is really important and it's very difficult, obviously, if you can't leave home. So that's why I've developed this online therapy program for treating agoraphobia from home, and it involves Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I specialize in and have been teaching for many years now for working with anxiety disorders, panic disorder and agoraphobia.

So the real basis of mindfulness-based treatment for Agoraphobia is setting up a very systematic set of exposure challenges. Mindfulness-based exposure therapy is a very effective method because it's very strategic and structured in its approach. It starts off by setting out a series of challenges. Those are the exposures, but you must train for each challenge before you do them.

So traditional exposure therapy, which relies on some degree of habituation and familiarization is really very ineffective. It's much too unstructured, really, to achieve much effect. In the case of agoraphobia you have to really learn how to neutralize the anxiety before you do the challenge. The challenge is really putting that into action so that it becomes experientially relevant and becomes a learned experience. But you have to train for it ahead of time.

So this kind of approach works. If you'd like to learn more about home-based training and home-based treatment for agoraphobia, then please contact me and we can schedule Skype therapy sessions at a time that works for you. I see people worldwide, mostly in the USA but also in the UK and Western Europe, rarely anywhere where you have a good Internet access. That's all you need for Skype therapy. So please contact me if this interests you and you would like to break free from your agoraphobia.
