Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is very effective because it works on changing the underlying 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 results 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…


"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."

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-based Image Reprocessing for Traumatic Memories in PTSD


Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression and also to help with PTSD. 


The particular method that I've developed over the years and found to be extremely effective for helping people recover from emotional or psychological trauma is called Mindfulness-based Imagery Reprocessing. 


So this is part of Mindfulness Therapy. What is mindfulness? First of all, well mindfulness simply refers to a form of conscious awareness, which is not reactive. So we're able to be fully present with whatever we're focusing on without reacting either emotionally or cognitively or judging events or even labeling the object. We don't talk about it. We simply observe it with full conscious presence. So that's a characteristic of mindfulness and it is extremely important for many things, but particularly for recovery from emotional suffering, including emotional trauma and PTSD. 


So when we apply mindfulness to emotional trauma, we are actually talking about developing this quality of full conscious awareness of our traumatic memories and particularly the imagery of those memory memories, the pictures that we form in our mind that generates the emotional trauma that can go on many years after the event. 


So the primary cause of emotional suffering is to be found in that imagery itself, and the imagery has certain properties, which cause it to trigger emotional pain. For example, its size. Intense emotional experiences tend to be large in size. That's how we see them in the mind. Emotional experiences that have a very low intensity that don't affect us typically are very small in size. 


The position of the image is also very important. So it make sense when you think about how we usually talk about emotional experience as being overpowering or overwhelming. This kind of language is referring to the emotion and its position, how we see that in the mind. 


So typically, again, overwhelming emotions such as emotional trauma are seen at a high position in our psychological field of vision, how we see things internally. They tend to be at a high level above us. That's why we use language like "we feel overwhelmed." 


Literally, the image is over us. And, typically, when an emotion is not overwhelming, when it's neutral or has little effect on us, then the imagery will reflect that and typically that imagery will be at a lower level in our psychological field. So when we are feeling very good and happy, in a state of emotional wellbeing, typically we might say, "I feel on top of things now. I feel on top of the world." This language is a clue that points to the internal psychological imagery of the emotion. 


Other factors we look at are the color of the image. So again, intense traumatic images typically are seen in great detail, great color is one of those features of the details of the imagery, the color. And when memories become faded that color becomes a lot more muted, less intense in color. So color is another feature that is part of the structure of traumatic imagery. The color is a factor that creates the emotional trauma. 


Other factors which may include how close the image is, that is related to its size. So typically intense images are very close in our visual field and less intense memories tend to be further away in our internal psychological field of vision.


So if it were very large we would want to try and reprocess that imagery and make it very small. We see it at a high level in our visual field we might want to try and move it to a lower level. If it's too close we might want to move it further away. So we can effectively change the imagery of our memories and change them in a way that leads to the resolution of that emotional pain.


So if you're interested in learning more about how to work with your emotional trauma or other traumatic memories that you're struggling with, including intrusive memories, then please contact me and tell me more about your particular condition your own needs. And then I will explain to you more about how we can work with that using mindfulness. And when you feel ready we can schedule a therapy session via Skype.
