Changing Emotional Habits through Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy
The primary focus of Mindfulness Therapy is to treat the root psychological cause of your anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction, stress, PTSD and emotional trauma and other forms of psychological pain rather than just trying to manage symptoms through medication.
Almost everyone who seeks my help has already tried medication or conventional counseling and are definitely looking for an alternative approach, a more holistic approach that focuses on healing rather than just trying to reduce symptoms. We want to be FREE from anxiety and depression, not just endlessly try to manage symptoms.
Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the Mindfulness Therapy approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"After each session, I come away with something of substance to work on throughout the week. Often, I recall something in everyday life, that was said in our session; A nugget of wise advice or a helpful technique, that provides an alternative avenue, to my habitual way of reacting to a life situation."

Skype Therapy for Anxiety & Depression
Skype Therapy - Skype Counseling Therapy Service
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist and I offer Skype Therapy. Skype counseling and therapy is a very effective way of working with difficult emotions without using medications but rather learning ways of working with your emotions using mindfulness therapy, which is what I teach online through Skype.
Medications may have some value in some cases but it's important to realize that they only treat symptoms, they do not change the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression. That the underlying cause is basically psychological in nature for most people most of the time. It is a habit. It is a form of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity and behavioral reactivity that all feeds particular emotional formation of anxiety or depression or OCD or addiction. These are habits. Habits can be changed and when you learn the mindfulness techniques that I teach, you will be able to change your anxiety and depression, you'll be able to break free from these habits.
The first thing to understand is that all habits operate essentially unconsciously out of awareness on autopilot. This is the biggest problem that we have to overcome straight away. We have to develop a much more conscious awareness around our emotional reactivity. We have to bring consciousness to our anxiety or depression instead of running away from it or trying to find a distraction from it or through medications, which is really just another form of avoidance.
So bringing conscious awareness to our habits is the first step in changing those habits. And that we do in mindfulness therapy by actually meditating on our emotions and on our intrusive thoughts and on our emotional trauma, whatever it might be. We learn to meditate on the mind, on these emotional habits. This means that we deliberately choose to bring the painful emotion or the intrusive thoughts into the mind, but consciously under our direction, rather than have them just show up unconsciously due to the habitual reactivity. So this is the difference. Bringing them in consciously puts us in a place of power in relationship to those emotional habits.
Then we can begin to cultivate this conscious relationship and in so doing we gain more and more freedom. We can essentially sit with the anxiety or depression and not be controlled by it. So this is a training process. We are choosing to train with our emotions so that we gain more and more freedom. Even if they are there. Even if anxiety or depression is still triggered we are no longer controlled by our emotions. That's the first goal of mindfulness therapy and mindfulness meditation: to gain freedom.
The mindfulness therapy approach that I teach by Skype is immensely effective and you should and you can expect to see significant changes after the first two or three sessions once you start applying the techniques that I will teach you in the first couple of sessions. So it's a very fast way of achieving quite substantial results. So that's another thing that I like. It's not like classical talk therapy. That tends to be very long winded and doesn't really give you tools for resolving your emotional suffering. In Skype Therapy move very fast. We train in a very focused way using mindfulness based methods.
So if this interests you please contact me by e-mail and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Let's schedule a trial Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself whether this approach is right for you. It certainly is for the vast majority of people who are struggling with anxiety or depression or addictions. So please contact me if you'd like to schedule's Skype therapy. Thank you.

Therapy for Anxiety and Depression via Skype Available Now!
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I offer online therapy over Skype. So, Skype Therapy is becoming quite popular these days as an alternative to conventional in-person sessions with a therapist. Skype therapy is more popular because it is more convenient and it's also much more comfortable for you since you don't have to leave home.
I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy as a way of helping you work with difficult emotions and habitual reactive thinking.
Most of our emotional suffering is a produce of habit. Anxiety is a product of habit; depression is primarily a product of habit, habitual reactive thinking.
So, the first way to break a habit is to develop more conscious awareness of the habit. The more aware we become, the less controlled we are by the habit itself. So, developing this conscious awareness is very much a part of Mindfulness Therapy. We learn to see our habits, the process that causes our anxiety or depression, or addictions or any other emotional problems that we may experience.
So, during the Skype therapy sessions I will teach you how to focus on developing more conscious awareness of your habits. So, that's the very first step - The more you see your habits, the more freedom you begin to discover, the more you can change those habits.
The second theme, if you like, in Mindfulness Therapy is to look at the emotions themselves and to look at the way that the emotions work. Now, what is most interesting in the mindfulness-based psychotherapy that I teach online, is that we understand that emotions have a structure, and this structure is primarily in the form of imagery. Its how you see the anxiety in the mind that creates that anxiety, creates that emotion.
This internal imagery is what really runs the whole show. Now, we are not usually aware of this imagery because we are not used to looking. Mindfulness Therapy is all about looking and investigating how your mind works. So, we want to discover this internal imagery, and when we discover it, then we can begin to change it. When you change that imagery you effectively change the emotion itself.
So, changing imagery is a very important part of Mindfulness Therapy and developing more conscious awareness of your habits is a very important part of breaking those habits.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a mindfulness-based therapist, living in Boulder, Colorado, and I provide Skype Therapy.
Therapy via Skype is a very convenient and very effective way of getting the help that you need to overcome anxiety or depression or addiction or any other emotional suffering that you may be experiencing.
The mindfulness techniques that I teach during these online therapy sessions are very well designed to help you break free from the habit of emotional reactivity, that process by which you become identified with and overwhelmed by emotional reactions and reactive thinking.
When we develop mindfulness skills we are actually learning how to become an observer, how to witness thoughts and emotions without becoming identified with them, without becoming reactive and without becoming overwhelmed by those habitual patterns.
This is the essential fist step in any kind of transformation process, you have to learn to see what is there without reacting to it. This is what we call awakening. You learn to awaken to the contents of mind instead of reacting to the contents of mind.
When you can see emotions and thoughts and the habitual processes that produce those emotions and thoughts clearly, when you can see them clearly, then choice arises. You begin to develop a sense of not being the same as your mind, not being the same as the content of your mind, but actually being the witness, the observer that is separate from the contents of mind, and can therefore begin to develop choice based on wisdom, based on what feels better and what leads to healing and well-being.

Skype Therapy – Online Psychotherapy by Skype
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online psychotherapist and I provide psychotherapy via Skype. So if you're looking for Skype psychotherapy online, I do encourage you to read more of the pages on my website. Watch some of the videos about Skype Therapy and reach out to me if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule Skype Therapy with me.
Skype Therapy is an excellent opportunity to get quality help to overcome anxiety and depression, but without having to go to see a therapist and in an office. Many people really prefer the convenience of online therapy and also the greater privacy and anonymity that is offered by online therapy. This is very important if you're dealing with difficult emotional problems like depression or addiction.
If you are suffering from agoraphobia, then it becomes essential to look for an online therapist to help you overcome your agoraphobia. I see a surprising number of people with driving anxiety with a phobia of driving, which of course greatly limits them and makes it very difficult to to go and see a therapist for treatment for driving anxiety.
There are lots of reasons why people like online therapy, but perhaps the most important thing is that it feels more comfortable for you. It's really important that you feel comfortable and are able to do the detailed and very personal work needed to bring about the healing of your anxiety or depression or other emotional problems.
So that's really the focus of Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I teach on Skype. Mindfulness Therapy teaches you how to totally change the relationship that you have with your emotions, to really change the relationship from one that is reactive and simply feeds the anxiety or depression, to a relationship that's based on consciousness and compassion, the two primary elements of mindfulness.
So when you can change that internal psychological relationship to one that allows you to be present with your anxiety or depression or other emotions and not react to them, then you create the ideal conditions for healing.
It is trying to heal but what stops it healing is reactivity, blind habitual reactivity. The way that we get lost and reactive thinking, the way that we get completely identified and therefore overwhelmed by the emotion. So that's what we call reactive identification.
So whatever the identification is, whatever the reactivity is, it ends up feeding that emotion and stops it healing. But if you take away the reactivity, the emotion will resume its natural path of healing.
Another analogy to think of here is to look at the emotional suffering as being like a wound. Again, a wound naturally heals itself if it is allowed to do so. Those mechanisms of healing are a natural part of the body.
It is the same for the mind. Emotional wounds will heal if we stop reacting to them. We look at them like an emotional wound. That wound is already destined to heal itself once we stop reacting.
So the key principle behind Mindfulness Therapy is to learn how to stay present and develop this conscious, compassionate presence that is not reactive, that does not feed the anxiety or depression. The more you cultivate that, the faster the healing.
Then you can start to develop internal compassion on top of that and start to interact with your emotions in a way that helps them heal. You learn how to comfort your inner fear, your inner hurt. That will accelerate healing even more. So that's the response of compassion, which is very much a part of Mindfulness Therapy.
We learn how to respond compassionately to our own emotional wounds.
So if you'd like to learn more about this approach to psychotherapy using mindfulness and you like the convenience of Skype Therapy, then do please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session.
So Skype Therapy is very effective. You don't need to be in the same room as a therapist. You do need to see each other. And of course, that is what Skype allows. It allows you to see each other. And that makes it as effective as being in the same room as the therapist.
So if you would like to learn more and you'd like to schedule some Skype Therapy sessions with me, or if you have questions you would like to ask, please go to my contact page and email me. Thank you.
