Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy is an excellent choice for most people because it works on transforming the underlying cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just treating symptoms. The focus is on teaching you practical tools and techniques that you can apply yourself between sessions. This is why most people see changes very much quicker than is reported for the more conventional talk-based counseling.

Please feel free to email me if you would like to schedule online therapy via Skype with me.

Everyone that I have worked with really likes the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"I had three sessions with Peter (4 hours total) and am very glad I had a chance to do therapy with him. Even after one session, I already felt better about some of the trauma I have had since I was young. With him, I learned to dissolve the trauma and came to terms with what happened in the past. I very much appreciate Peter’s kindness, wisdom, and patience."

ONLINE THERAPIST FOR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)

PTSD is a complex disorder involving many different emotions such as anxiety, depression, guilt and shame, anger and addictions.

Fundamentally, victims of PTSD have a very hard time adjusting to intensely traumatic experiences. A trauma is simply a form of sensory-emotional overload that the brain is unable to process and assimilate. The intense memory imprint and associated emotions become "stuck", literally frozen in time, creating flash-backs and endlessly recurring intrusive thoughts and emotional reactions.

There are many sources of PTSD. Experience of war is well documented, but trauma is also an occupational hazard for emergency responders, fire officers, police officers and medical response personnel. Medical Doctors can also experience PTSD as they try to cope with the trauma of dispensing a terminal diagnosis to a patient.

One unrecognized source of PTSD is from the very process of giving birth itself. Again, the intense sensory overload accompanied by very intense emotions can create a traumatic image that does not resolve by itself.

The other biggest source of PTSD results from childhood trauma, at the hands of abusive parents or relatives or from bullying. The child, by its very nature, is least able to process intense sensory/emotional experiences, and these can become suppressed as unresolved core emotions that arise much later, during adult life as anxiety, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and depression.

Whatever the cause of PTSD, these unresolved core emotions need resolution and this is the whole focus of Mindfulness Therapy which I provide via Skype. This is often a good choice for people who might not feel comfortable sharing their experiences in front of a group or even to a therapist in-person.

The role of 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.
