Online Therapy for treating Depression via Skype

This is what is always missing when there is chronic depression and what must be re-established to allow healing to occur and this is what we will focus on during our online therapy sessions together.
Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype for Healing Anxiety and Depression without relying on drugs
Talk to a Psychotherapist Online over Skype for effective online psychotherapy for Depression and Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety and Agoraphobia, Addictions, and other psychological and emotional problems, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
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.

Online Therapy for Depression and Anxiety
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.

Managing Anxiety & Depression through Mindfulness Therapy
It's essential that you just learn to, basically, meditate on your anxiety and depression. You have to from a non-judgmental relationship with your emotions. Most of us, needless to say, react negatively to our anxiety, depression or other negative emotions with avoidance and some kind of hatred to those disagreeable emotions.
We do not like these unpleasant feelings and we strive to eradicate them. That is really the worst thing you could potentially do, because aversion and avoidance makes the anxiety or depression develop and become stronger. Any kind of reactivity reinforces strengthening the anxiety or depression.
What I've found, and numerous others in the field of Mindfulness Therapy have discovered, is that what really creates change and transformation is when we can hold the emotion in our conscious awareness without negatively reacting to the emotions with avoidance and aversion.
When you are doing so you're learning how to actually be with that emotion without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by it. This teaches the mind an entirely different manner of processing that the anxiety, and this allows the emotion to change, to heal and also to transform itself.
