Online Mindfulness Therapy for Depression

Online Mindfulness Therapist via Skype for managing Anxiety & Depression without using medications
Speak with a Psychotherapist Online over Skype for highly effective online mindfulness-based therapy for Depression and Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety and Agoraphobia, Addictions, and other forms of emotional stress, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
To effectively recover from depression you need to heal the underlying emotions 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.

Online therapy for anxiety & depression - Talk to a therapist online
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist and I offer online therapy for depression, also online psychotherapy for anxiety and other emotional problems that you may be experiencing.
Most people really like the idea of speaking to a psychotherapist online through Skype because it is more comfortable and convenient for you. Talking to a therapist online also offers more privacy for you. You may be embarrassed to talk to a therapist in the first place, but the online therapy option definitely removes this barrier. You may also choose to speak with a therapist online if you cannot find a local psychotherapist to talk to. I see many expats living abroad for the same reason
If you are suffering from severe depression then you should seek help from your doctor. But, for most people with depression and anxiety, what you really need are practical solutions; ways of working with your emotions that allow them to heal and learning how to break the cycle of becoming overwhelmed by emotional reactivity. This can be done very well through Skype and I will teach you very practical and effective mindfulness-based techniques for overcoming depression, anxiety and many other forms of emotional suffering.
Speak to a therapist online from home using Skype
It's also, of course, very difficult for some people to leave home: They may have family commitments at home, young children, etc, and so the online therapy option is very convenient. Many people live in rural areas and don't have access to a therapist, or they may simply want to be more discrete in finding someone to work with and the online option is certainly very good for that, and means that you can receive help for your depression or anxiety without anyone else knowing, unless you wish to tell them.
So, online therapy via Skype is growing in popularity and is a very good choice for many people.

Online Mindfulness Therapy through Skype for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression

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 using Mindfulness Therapy
It's extremely important that you learn how to, essentially, meditate on your anxiety and depression. You've got to from a compassionate relationship with your emotions. Nearly all of us, obviously, react negatively to our anxiety, depression or other negative emotions with avoidance and some type of resistance to those disagreeable emotions.
We don't want these unpleasant emotions and we try to destroy them. This is really the worst thing you can possibly do, because this kind of reactivity has the unfortunate effect of making the anxiety or depression develop and become more powerful. Any type of reactivity has the negative effect of strengthening the anxiety or depression.
What I have found, and numerous 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 are doing that you're learning how to actually be with the emotion without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by it. This trains the mind a totally different way of processing that experience, which allows the emotion to change, to resolve and to transform itself.
