Mindfulness Therapy is very effective because it works on healing the root 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 of my clients experience significant results very much quicker than is reported for the usual counseling through talking about your feelings.

Learn how to apply mindfulness for breaking free from reactive identification with thoughts, emotional reactions and memories.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional mindfulness therapist and I offer mindfulness therapy online. If you're interested in mindfulness for trauma and for post-traumatic stress disorder then please go to my website and learn more about mindfulness therapy for recovery from trauma and PTSD, and email me to learn more, to ask any questions you may have, and also to schedule the Skype therapy session with me for PTSD or trauma recovery.

So during these online therapy sessions I'll be teaching you how to apply mindfulness and mindfulness meditation for aiding your recovery from emotional trauma or PTSD. There are two basic principles that we developed during these online mindfulness therapy sessions for PTSD. The first is the incredibly needed skill of breaking free from the habit of reactive identification with your thoughts and with your own emotional reactions.

This is by far the biggest problem that creates emotional suffering. So, when thoughts or emotional reactions arise our tendency is to become completely identified with them. And so we become captivated by our thoughts and our memories. We become prisoners of all thoughts and our memories and we become basically controlled by them when we become identified with them.

So mindfulness training is all about learning how to change the relationship with your thoughts and traumatic memories and emotional reactions so that you do not become identified with them, so that you can see these mental objects as the Observer, the True Self that can see the contents of mind without becoming prisoners of the content of the mind.

So that's the first most important mindfulness training is learning how to develop what we call "independence" from our mind, from the thoughts, from the memories, from the emotions that arise in the mind.

The second part of the trauma recovery will involve working with the imagery of the trauma itself. Working with the imagery, changing the imagery, so that it does not cause the emotional trauma, the emotional reaction. It's very easy to do this when we start to develop a conscious, mindful relationship with our trauma. If we continue to react to it, we can't see what's there and if we don't see the nature of that imagery then we can change it. we become a prisoner of it.

But, once you start to uncover the imagery and see how it actually works you can change the structure of that imagery. One simple technique is to make the imagery smaller, because the imagery of a trauma is generally very large and it has to be large in order to create the emotional trauma. If you can make the image smaller then you will reduce the ability of that memory to produce emotional trauma.

There are many other things we can do as well with mindfulness, but these are two areas: we work on changing your relationship to your trauma and also changing the imagery itself that is responsible for producing the emotional reactions associated with the trauma.

Working with traumatic memory in PTSD

Welcome. So I'd like to talk a little bit about the role of traumatic memories in PTSD. So typically visual memories are processed naturally by the mind and they undergo certain changes in their properties over time.

So typically a memory will start off large and intense in detail and color and will seem very close. But over time the image becomes smaller in size. It seems to become more distant. There's a spatial reorganization of its position in our visual memory and it looses details and becomes more fuzzy, in effect. So this is a natural process by which the mind processes visual imagery.

Now in the case of traumatic imagery this process doesn't happen, so the traumatic imagery remains at its original level of intensity in the mind. It remains very large, very close, and typically very high in the psychological visual field and very intense colors and details and other properties that essentially keep that experience alive, because imagery is the primary way that the mind organizes emotion. So intense large imagery will create intense launch emotions.

So the primary issue that we have to deal with when we're working with PTSD or any other kind of traumatic or disturbing intrusive imagery, is to find ways of reprocessing the imagery, helping it resolve itself in this natural way.

The typical kind of ways that we can examine to help it resolve is to make it smaller, to make it further away in how we see it in the mind, to change the color of the imagery. Often changing it from an intense color into black and white can have quite profound effects on the emotional intensity of the image.

So we have to do this consciously, and that is where mindfulness comes in. So the way we do this is that we mindfully meditate on the traumatic image. Look at its details and then start exploring changing the details of how we see that image to help it resolve. We often describe this as helping to digest the sensory overload that is encoded in that imagery. So that's something I have termed mindfulness-based imagery processing, and that's very much a part of my approach to working with PTSD.

If you would like to learn more about this and about how to work with traumatic imagery and intrusive imagery that you may be experiencing, then please email me and let's schedule a therapy session via Skype and I will teach you how to work with your traumatic memories and imagery using the mindfulness-based methods that I've developed and found to be very effective. So please contact me if you'd like to learn more. Thank you.
