Online therapy for depression and anxiety

Online therapy for depression and anxiety via Skype & Zoom

Online therapy is an excellent option for treating depression and anxiety if you are looking for an alternative to antidepressant medications and you want to learn how to manage your depression and anxiety through training in Mindfulness Therapy.

To fully recover from depression and anxiety you must focus on changing the underlying psychological cause; you should focus on healing your emotional pain and learn how to manage rumination and the habitual reactive thinking that feeds depression and anxiety. During our online sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to promote healing and free yourself from the reactive cognitive cycles that exacerbate depression and anxiety. Medications are not able to do this and just talking about your feelings is not enough. Instead, you need to totally transform the internal relationship that you have with your emotions and with your thoughts, which is what I will teach you how to do in great detail.

Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype for Stopping Anxiety & Depression without relying on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications

Speak with a Psychotherapist Online over Skype for highly effective online mindfulness-based therapy for Depression and Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia, Addictions, and other emotional problems, including Post-traumatic stress.

To effectively recover from depression you need to heal the underlying emotional reactions that constitute depression. Depression is never just one emotion, but a cluster of emotions such as anxiety, sadness, emotional trauma, feelings of helplessness, guilt, shame, anger and fear. Often we do not see all of these component emotions, but healing requires that each is addressed consciously.

This is a very central process in Mindfulness Therapy, as in many other forms of psychotherapy, but in Mindfulness Therapy the focus is on the seeing itself, on sustaining and cultivating non-reactive consciousness towards our emotions, rather than just talking about our feelings. Talking can actually interrupt the conscious connection with our emotions, which can have the adverse effect of inhibiting healing. It is the conscious, mindful connection itself that promotes deep healing. Many people come to me for help after years of talking about their feelings and often talking is just not enough to promote healing, but when they start developing that conscious mindful relationship with their trauma, fear or anger then healing begins, and often quite quickly.

The inner mindful relationship with your feelings is essential for healing and this is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy.

"After each session, I come away with something of substance to work on throughout the week. Often, I recall something in everyday life, that was said in our session; A nugget of wise advice or a helpful technique, that provides an alternative avenue, to my habitual way of reacting to a life situation."

Online Mindfulness Therapist over Skype for Overcoming Anxiety & Depression without relying on medications

It is important to check that there are no underlying medical conditions that might be causing your depression, but for most people depression is best described as a psychological habit that is caused when we become overwhelmed by habitual reactive thinking called rumination. During online mindfulness therapy sessions we learn how to transform this habit and resolve the depression.

So the best way to fight depression without drugs and without the use of prescription medications is to work on changing the underlying psychological habits that creates your depression.

Perhaps the most common underlying psychological habit is that of rumination. This describes patterns of habitual reactive thinking that tend to proliferate in the minds and that feeds the underlying depression. So thoughts do not cause depression but they do feed that depression. One of the best ways to control rumination is by learning some form of mindfulness meditation practice, particularly where we practice on meditating on the mind itself.

Meditating on breathing is a common mindfulness practice that is a very good relaxation exercise, but what really makes the difference is when you start meditating on the mind. This allows you to start developing more conscious awareness of these patterns of habitual reactive thinking that feed your depression. When you become more aware of them you can begin to break free from the rumination.

We practice many different mindfulness techniques to help you with this during the online therapy sessions that I teach for managing depression and also anxiety. One of the most effective approaches is called the "Placement Technique" and this is where you learn to greet your thoughts consciously and also in a friendly manner and then move those thoughts to a lower level such as placing them on the floor. This is an interesting exercise to try. Most people have never thought to do this but the position of your thoughts in the mind, the way you see them, is a very important factor in creating the depression.

Usually the thoughts are too close and too high. That's how we see them, and it's that closeness that becomes menacing, if you like, like a swarm of bees. If you space those thoughts out and create more space around them by moving them, that takes away that menacing quality, the crowding effect of too little space, and that can have a dramatic effect on decreasing the intensity of emotional stress produced by those ruminating thoughts. So you might try practicing this yourself.

If you'd like to learn more in more detail how to apply this technique, the placement technique, and other mindfulness methods for managing rumination then simply go to my website and email me and let's set up a trial Skype therapy session to help you overcome your depression.

It's not always necessary to take medications, and in fact medications generally can only relieve symptoms, unless there is an underlying medical condition. But for most people that's not the case. It's simply that they have developed habitual patterns of rumination that feeds the depression.

Controlling Anxiety & Depression through Mindfulness Therapy

It is extremely important that you simply learn to, essentially, meditate on your anxiety and depression. You have to from a compassionate relationship with your emotions. Most of us, of course, react to our anxiety, depression or other negative emotions with avoidance and some type of aversion and avoidance to those unpleasant emotions.

We don't like these unpleasant emotions and we attempt to get rid of them. This is actually the worst thing you can possibly do, because this kind of reactivity has the effect of making the anxiety or depression grow and become stronger. Any type of reactivity strengthens reinforcing the anxiety or depression.

What I have found, and many others in the field of Mindfulness Therapy have found, is that what actually accelerates emotional healing is when we train ourselves to hold the emotion in our conscious awareness without reacting to our painful emotions with avoidance and aversion.

When you do that you're learning how you can effectively be with that emotion without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by it. This trains the mind a totally different manner of processing that emotion, which allows the emotion to change, to release the emotional energy frozen in the emotion also to transform itself.
