Mindfulness Therapy provides a very good treatment for freeing yourself from obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors by teaching you how to work with your OCD thoughts and impulses using mindfulness training and the methods of Mindfulness Therapy.
To overcome OCD and obsessive-intrusive thoughts you MUST learn how to neutralize the underlying emotion, usually fear that fuels intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

Online Psychotherapy for overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
So the way to break free from those patterns of emotional reactivity that cause our anxiety and that fuel our obsessions is to learn how to form a mindfulness-based relationship with them and to train with those those thoughts and the anxiety. We train ourself to sit with them without becoming reactive.
When you can sit with your emotions and thoughts without allowing them to proliferating further, then you are taking away the fuel source that feeds the underlying anxiety that fuels those intrusive thoughts. So learning to sit with your emotions and thoughts is the heart of the Mindfulness Meditation Therapy approach that I teach for overcoming OCD.
This approach is very effective and it's very effective because it's very direct. It is about working directly with your emotions. Just talking about your emotions is seldom enough to change the underlying reactivity that feeds your anxiety. You have to change your relationship to that reactivity directly so that you do not become blindly identified with it, blindly caught up in the reactive thinking or in the emotion itself.
The more you can develop this quality of objective consciousness where you can maintain your identity as your True Self, the Observer, looking at your emotions and thoughts as objects in the mind the freer you become and the faster the recovery.
With training you see the thoughts and the anxiety as simply objects in the mind that you can observe and respond to with compassion. That's the power of this teaching - it frees you, it liberates you from emotional suffering by allowing you to strengthen your perspective as your True Self.
Connection with that True Self is exactly what the anxiety needs in order to heal itself. So your True Self is fearless by nature because it is non-reactive.
The anxiety is completely fear-based. In order to resolve fear, it needs to come into contact with that which is fearless and that is your True Self. So this is what we cultivate by meditating on our thoughts and the emotions that fuel those thoughts, which is generally fear.
So do please contact me if you'd like to learn more about this approach. And if you're interested in online help for overcoming your obsessive compulsive disorder, or if you would like help with working with intrusive thoughts and images, including traumatic memory images, which are often at the heart of OCD.
So please contact me if you would like help in overcoming OCD, and also ask any questions you may have about online psychotherapy for obsessive compulsive disorder. Thank you.

Effective Online Therapy for OCD
If you wish to talk with a psychotherapist online, then visit my website to learn about Online Psychotherapy through Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression, addictions, OCD, PTSD, Emotional Trauma and other forms of emotional suffering not requiring medical treatment.
Conventional talk therapy can be useful, but often common talk therapy does not transform the the underlying process that is the real cause of your emotional suffering.
The same can be said for medications - prescription medications may reduce symptoms for a while, but medications will not transform the underlying process that produces your anxiety or depression. This requires good quality psychotherapy.
The type of psychotherapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, which can be quite powerful for managing chronic anxiety as well as for treating depression or other emotional issues caused by habitual reactive thinking. Most of my clients see dramatic reduction in the level of anxiety and depression after 3-4 sessions of Skype Therapy.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness therapist using a system of mindfulness therapy that I developed many years ago now, that's extremely effective for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD.
So, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for OCD basically teaches you how to break free from the habit of reactive thinking, that is falling into the stream of reactive thinking, of rumination or worrying that might get triggered in the minds.
This is a very important step in cutting off the fuel that that fuels anxiety or depression. So, OCD is simply the result of a process where we become habitually identified with thoughts, and when we become trapped in our thinking. The result is that the thoughts tend to propagate more thoughts and this amplifies the reactive thinking, which in turn amplifies the underlying emotional obsession or anxiety or depression that feeds the OCD.
So, learning to break this habit of reactive identification is extremely important and is the principal focus of the mindfulness therapy that I teach online via Skype.
If you'd like to learn more about online mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for OCD, simply go to my websites and then email me. You can ask any questions you might have about mindfulness therapy for OCD and I'd be happy to explain to you how the mindfulness therapy approach can work for you.
When you feel ready you can schedule a Skype therapy session with me at a time that works for you, and then begin to teach you how to apply mindfulness for overcoming obsessive thinking and for overcoming the anxiety and depression that's associated with obsessive-compulsive thinking.

How to treat OCD without medication through Online Mindfulness Therapy for OCD and intrusive thoughts.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide online therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety, for depression and also for working with obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD.
So if you're interested in online treatment for OCD without depending on medications, then do please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service.
Mindfulness Therapy is very good for treating all forms of anxiety disorders because it teaches you how to work with your thoughts in a very direct and practical way, and that is essential in working with OCD.
We have to basically change the way that we relate to our thoughts. Some people teach that we have to overcome irrational thoughts. I do not agree with that. Whether the thoughts are rational or irrational is of no particular importance. What matters is the emotional charge of those thoughts and the nature of your relationship to them.
So typically when we experience an obsessive thought or an intrusive thought we become immediately identified with that. This is called reactive identification, and then we tend to react even further to intrusive thoughts by creating more thoughts that feed the first intrusive thought, and that is called reactive proliferation of thoughts.
So this is what typically happens out of habit for most people with OCD. But with mindfulness training and the methods that I will teach you during our online therapy sessions, you will begin to be able to break free from the compulsive aspects of those intrusive thoughts.
You do not require medication to treat OCD. Medication simply masks the intensity of the emotion, but it doesn't do anything to change the underlying process that is causing those intrusive-obsessive thoughts to arise in the mind, and that's what we address with Mindfulness Therapy.
So the first step is learning to be with your intrusive thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them. And then when you establish this relationship with them, then you can begin to change the emotional component of those intrusive obsessive thoughts, and I will explain in great detail how to do this.
If you want to work with me, if you would like to learn how to overcome OCD without resorting to medications, then please go to my website and send me an email so we can schedule a trial therapy session for you.
With the mindfulness approach, because it is so practical and so focused on overcoming the underlying cause of your OCD, most people will see significant changes after the first three to four sessions with me. It doesn't take that long to break out of these habitual patterns of reactive thinking and reactive identification with thoughts.
It just requires some skillful guidance and then practice of the methods that I will teach you. So please contact me if this interests you and let's get started. Thank you.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a psychotherapist based in Colorado and I offer online therapy over Skype for treating anxiety and depression, addictions and also I get a lot of requests for help with OCD and particularly with various troubling intrusive thoughts and intrusive images.
The approach that I use is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is extremely good at helping you break free from repetitive intrusive thoughts and memories and images.
The most important thing that we must get right, right from the beginning, is to break the habit of fear reaction to the intrusive thoughts. Many people are very distressed by intrusive thoughts and it's quite natural to react with fear and also with hatred for these thoughts.
You just want them to go away at any cost. But the trouble is, that reactions of fear and hatred end up feeding those thoughts. It makes them more intense and that will cause them to become even more intrusive.
From experience in the field of mindfulness psychology, that is becoming quite popular these days, it's quite clear that the winning strategy is actually to do the exact opposite of reacting with fear or aversion. And that is to develop a friendly and compassionate relationship with those intrusive thoughts and troublesome images.
This may seem very counter-intuitive, but it is not. The way it works is that by learning how to form a non-reactive relationship with those thoughts you basically break the habit that feeds the intrusive thoughts.
When you break a habit that feeds them, then they begin to subside and lose strengths quite naturally like any thought would do. Any thought that arises in the mind has a strength to it when it first arises, an emotional charge that keeps it in the mind, but that emotional charge quickly dissipates and for most of the time for most kinds of thoughts the thoughts simply disappear when that emotional charge has dissipated.
But with intrusive thoughts and intrusive images and memories that emotional charge does not dissipate. The main reason why it doesn't dissipate is because you inadvertently continue feeding that emotional charge through your reactivity to the thoughts.
Now when you to develop friendliness or compassion, which is the essence of mindfulness, towards those thoughts, you basically take away this fuel source and that allows the thoughts to naturally subside and lose their emotional charge and intensity.
So that's the first very important principle. The way that we go about doing this and helping those intrusive thoughts neutralize themselves and lose their emotional charge is by, surprisingly enough, by meditating on those intrusive thoughts directly.
So you deliberately bring them into the mind but you cultivate this relationship that is not reactive to those thoughts. You have to train with the thoughts in order to break free from them.
Change the imagery of the thoughts and you can greatly reduce the intensity of those thoughts.
So it's by consciously interacting with the imagery and changing it that you can have a profound effect on decreasing the intensity of those intrusive thoughts. So this is another aspect of Mindfulness Therapy that I teach during these Skype Therapy sessions.
I will teach you how to apply mindfulness, how to meditate on your intrusive thoughts and memories. And these mindfulness-based methods are methods that you can use yourself and apply at home between sessions, which of course greatly accelerates the process of recovery.
So please contact me if you'd like to get started with this very effective approach to working with intrusive thoughts. Thank you.
