Online Mindfulness Therapy for Overcoming Agoraphobia and Social Anxiety Disorder without using medications

See a Psychotherapist Online over Skype for highly effective online help and mindfulness therapy for overcoming Chronic Agoraphobia, Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.

If you want to recover completely from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying habitual anxiety reactions. 

Anti-anxiety medications don’t do this. Medications only treat anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety. To recover fully you need an effective form of psychotherapy that should include Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Therapy to overcome anxiety-based thinking. You also need to work directly on the anxiety that feeds those thoughts.

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on neutralizing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is very effective and most people see major improvements after 3-4 Skype sessions with me.

Online therapy is very effective as long as you use Skype, FaceTime or Zoom so that you can see each other. Being able to see each other is necessary for effective communication and good psychotherapy.

How to treat agoraphobia - Online Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia 

Anxiety and Agoraphobia treatment center

Contact me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online therapist offering online therapy as a way of helping you overcome your anxiety or depression or addiction. And it's much more convenient and much more comfortable for you. I really enjoy working with people over Skype. It is much more empowering than going to see a therapist in an office. This approach, I feel, is much more effective, especially if you're working with anxiety and particularly if you're struggling with agoraphobia. 

So agoraphobia usually begins with a series of panic attacks often appearing for no particular reason but that are very distressing, very unpleasant. And what happens is that we tend to develop fear, reactive fear to the reoccurrence of these panic attacks, and that fear then converts into avoidance. So we try to avoid any situation in which that panic attack may reoccur. So these patterns of avoidance tend to proliferate and we start avoiding more and more things based on that fear. 

The problem is that avoidance fuels fear, so the more you become wrapped up in patterns of avoidance the more fear you will experience and then that leads to more avoidance behaviors. And so it sort of spirals out of control and you become more and more limited and confined to a smaller and smaller space. Sometimes people are unable to leave their house. They're afraid of any kind of zone that is out of that immediate comfort zone of their house. So going to the grocery store, driving a car, even walking around the neighborhood may be way too challenging. And this is the result of this accumulation of avoidance and the fear that is fed by avoidance. 

So the first understanding we must have if you want to beat agoraphobia, if you want to overcome agoraphobia, is that you must not accept these avoidance habits. Instead we must turn that around and start facing each situation. But we have to do this in a strategic way and with lots of training and that is what we find is usually lacking in classical exposure type therapy. 

It is not enough to just force your way through a traumatic situation. That will simply reinforce the fear. It will not resolve it. So exposure therapy as it's usually taught is basically going to be mostly ineffective. You cannot expect yourself to habituate to that situation simply by repeating it over and over again. That could also simply repeat the fear, the trauma, over and over again. 

In many ways agoraphobia is really a kind of post-traumatic stress disorder. It's that reaction to the trauma of the panic attacks that you had originally. 

So exposure therapy by itself is absolutely not enough. You must take a much more strategic approach, but it is, of course, a necessary part of your recovery. If you want to beat agoraphobia you must undertake progressive exposures. We understand that. But how do you do that? That's the question. 

So in the mindfulness approach, what I call mindfulness-based exposure therapy, we will start by making a list of all of our challenges, those situations that we are currently avoiding. We turn that into a list and we train with each one of those challenges on that list and we do it thoroughly until we experience no anxiety whatsoever. 

The way that we train is the vital component here. This is what makes the difference. You must train in a very thorough way before you do any of those challenges so that you can avoid that re-traumatization. 

So we train through a process called mindfulness meditation. And this, basically, is where you would meditate on the challenge before you do it. So you play that challenge through your mind in detail and you look very carefully for any fear reactions and any thought reactions that get triggered as you imagine going into the grocery store, or whatever it may be. 

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach then please contact me and we can discuss this further and we can set up some online therapy sessions via Skype.

Online Treatment for overcoming agoraphobia

Email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy, and I provide online help for agoraphobia. Many people suffering from agoraphobia find it very difficult to leave home or leave a secure area where they feel comfortable and so the online therapy option is very convenient and sometimes essential. 

So I've been offering online help for people suffering from agoraphobia for about ten years now and it works extremely well. The online therapy sessions are organized via Skype and all you need is an internet connection and we can set up a Skype Therapy session to help you learn how to manage the anxiety and panic attacks associated with your agoraphobia. 

During sessions I will teach you a practical mindfulness-based methods of working with agoraphobia that have being well tested and have proved very effective over the last ten years or so that I've been offering this service. 

The most important thing that you will learn is how to change the way that you relate to your emotions and to your thoughts. 

The biggest problem for most people is that as soon as anxiety or fear gets triggered that they become completely overwhelmed by that emotional reaction, and that identification with emotion leads to the proliferation of reactive thinking which then feeds the underlying fear and anxiety. So this produces a perfect storm, essentially, a feedback mechanism that reinforces the fear and prevents it healing and resolving, and this is what we attempt to change during mindfulness therapy sessions for agoraphobia. 

If this interests you then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service and then contact me and we can schedule a therapy session over Skype to help you overcome your agoraphobia. 

So if you're looking for online help for agoraphobia please go to my website and EMAIL ME.

Best Online Treatment for Agoraphobia - Online Mindfulness Therapy 

Find Online Treatment for agoraphobia 

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional therapist and I offer online therapy via Skype for a variety of emotional and psychological problems that don't require medical treatment, such as anxiety and depression and also agoraphobia. 

So I offer online help for agoraphobia via Skype. And this of course is very convenient for many people who are suffering from agoraphobia, because it's so difficult to leave home. 

So during these online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your anxiety and panic attacks using the well tested techniques of Mindfulness Therapy. 

Mindfulness therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is very effective and very popular these days because it focuses on helping you learn practical ways of working with your anxiety and reducing your anxiety and eliminating your anxiety. 

Mindfulness teaches you practical methods to do this, and during our online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your anxiety using these techniques. 

The basic most important part of getting over agoraphobia is to really take it on as a challenge rather than recoiling from your anxiety with fear. 

So fear of fear of course makes things worse. Trying to avoid fear makes things worse. But facing your fear is what will leads to success. However, facing your fear has to be done in a very strategic and careful and measured way and that's what we explore during Mindfulness Therapy. 

So you will set yourself up a series of challenges that you can explore and develop each day and prepare for these challenges using mindfulness meditation. 

Basically, this is where you meditate on the challenge that you're about to do and look for any anxiety that gets triggered, and then work on healing that anxiety, that very specific anxiety in that specific context, by building a conscious and non-reactive relationship with that anxiety. That's what I mean by facing your fear. It's not some general statement, that will not work. That's of little value. It's about facing the specific fear that is triggered in a specific situation. 

For example, many people with agoraphobia find it very distressing when they try to leave their house and walk down the street to a place where they can no longer see the house. That's very common. There's also often a tremendous fear of having a panic attack away from the security of your home. 

These are examples of triggers, and in the mindfulness therapy approach we use these triggers. We actually will meditate on them and work specifically to help heal that particular anxiety that is triggered in that situation. And then we do the challenge. And then we meditate after doing the challenge to again work with any anxiety that may have arisen. 

So this is a very strategic approach which I call mindfulness-based exposure therapy. And if you do this consistently every day you will absolutely overcome your agoraphobia or any other anxiety disorder. The same approach works very well for OCD, for example. 

If you'd like to learn more about this approach then please send me an email. Ask any questions you have about online mindfulness therapy for agoraphobia and I'll be happy to answer anything that you would like to explore with me. 

When you're ready we can schedule the first Skype Therapy session with you and in that therapy session we will get started straight away on developing some of these mindfulness-based practices and develop a exposure challenge schedule for you to start your recovery process. 

Most people see really quite outstanding results when they take this approach and typically you should expect to see significant improvements after three or four weeks when you practice in this way.
