Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"I have practiced working with difficult emotions with many wonderful Buddhist teachers, including Pema Chodron and Adyashanti. Peter taught me aspects and nuances that were completely new to me that are making a huge difference and allowing me to meet and heal these parts of myself more efficiently and actually with less distress."
During these sessions I will teach you how to apply mindfulness, including mindfulness meditation for healing all forms of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, depression, and addiction recovery and other forms of emotional suffering, by using the well-tested techniques of Mindfulness Meditation Therapy.
This approach is extremely effective and most people see significant results after 3-4 Skype sessions with me.
Online Mindfulness-based Skype Therapy is extremely effective for overcoming anxiety and depression without using medications. It is always better to treat the cause of your emotional suffering instead of just trying to manage symptoms.

TALK TO A THERAPIST ONLINE VIA SKYPE
Online Therapist for the Treatment of Anxiety via Skype
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders.
So mindfulness is an extremely powerful form of conscious awareness that can really make all the difference if you're struggling with anxiety.
So I specialize in teaching mindfulness methods and techniques for overcoming anxiety and I do this online. So if you're interested in talking to an online therapist for anxiety then please contact me and schedule a few online therapy sessions.
The mindfulness approach, as I say, is very powerful indeed and what it fundamentally does is it breaks you out of those unconscious reactive habits that create your anxiety.
So anxiety is best described as a habit rather than some sort of medical disorder. I think that's the wrong approach if you want to overcome anxiety. If you want to just suppress symptoms then you might use a medical approach and ant anxiety medications. But that's not what I advocate, because it does not really address the underlying cause of your anxiety and that is these accumulated unconscious habits, psychological habits that create anxiety.
And during Mindfulness Therapy we look very carefully at these inner habits. We actually learn how to meditate on our anxiety so we can examine it in great detail and see how it works. You look for the triggers, first of all. What are the specific triggers that trigger anxiety reactions? Then we look at what happens in the mind as we replay these triggers during our meditation.
Typically most people see that what really gets triggered in the mind is imagery, some form of internal psychological imagery that has a strong emotional charge. That imagery is what really causes the anxiety. So the trigger triggers the imagery in the mind out of habit and that imagery then triggers the emotion.
So when we meditate on our anxiety we look for this imagery and the more that you see of the details of that imagery the more you can change, because when you see the imagery in the mind consciously, then you're able to change it, you are able to help that imagery change.
For example, very commonly, people say to me that they feel overwhelmed by their anxiety. Well that tells me straightaway that the anxiety imagery is very large. It's also probably above you, it is high in your visual field, the way you see it and the mind. You don't see it on the floor, you see it above you.
Now it has to be above you to be overwhelming. It also has to be very large to be overwhelming. And by that same reasoning, it cannot be overwhelming if it is on the floor, and it cannot be overwhelming if you make it the size of a grain of sand.
So that imagery really defines our emotions. Typically we don't see that imagery because we don't look. Well, during Mindfulness Therapy we do look. We look very closely at the structure of our anxiety to see this imagery and then we explore changing it. We explore changing its size, its position, spatial position, perhaps its color, perhaps its texture.
Typically, when people look at the imagery of anxiety they will usually see red or orange colors. That seems to resonate with the feeling of fear or anxiety. If you are looking at the imagery of depression you would probably not see red or orange, but more likely black or grey or dark purple. Those are very common colors. Again those are part of the structure that creates the emotion.
Just because the emotion has a certain color or a certain size or position it does not mean that it has to stay in the configuration. It only shows up in that way because of habit. So when you bring mindfulness to that habit you bring choice and you can start to change the imagery, and when you change the imagery of anxiety you will diffuse the emotion; you will effectively neutralize it. And it is possible to then sit and examine those triggers, to bring them into the mind, and not experience anxiety. So that's all part of Mindfulness Therapy and that's what I teach online. And it works extremely well.
So if you want to get help from an online therapist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety using mindfulness, then please contact me and let us schedule some Skype Therapy sessions.

Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety over Skype
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist offering online therapy for anxiety and depression and other common emotional problems that respond well to online mindfulness therapy, which is what I specialize in and find to be most effective for helping you overcome anxiety and depression and other common emotional suffering.
So if you're looking for an online therapist to help you overcome anxiety and to provide relief from chronic anxiety then I invite you to go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness-based approach for overcoming anxiety. It's very effective. Most people see quite dramatic changes within the first three or four sessions, once you start applying the mindfulness-based methods that I will be teaching you during these Skype therapy sessions.
So the very first thing that we have to understand is that anxiety is best seen as a habit process rather than a disorder. It's better to look at the underlying psychological habit that is causing your anxiety rather than just treating it with medications, because just covering up the symptoms is not going to change anything at the psychological level. So if you want real relief from anxiety you have to work on changing that underlying habitual process that is creating your anxiety.
So most people notice that when they start to examine the structure of their anxiety and this underlying habitual process that they begin to see changes very quickly. The very first thing we need to do is change our relationship to our emotions. We must change our relationship from one of fear and hatred and reactivity to one of consciousness and even friendliness.
It is really important, actually, to develop a friendly and compassionate relationship with your emotions if you want them to heal. If you want to get real relief from anxiety then you must make friends with that anxiety.
Acceptance is really important, but not just blind acceptance, not just tolerating your emotions, but rather helping them heal. So the function of mindfulness therapy is seeing your emotions clearly, establishing a compassionate relationship with your emotions, and then helping them heal.
And one of the most important ways that we can help heal anxiety is by developing a non-reactive relationship with that anxiety. When you can sit with your anxiety, observe it without reactivity, then that will allow the anxiety to begin to change itself. The problem is that we tend to react to our anxiety and this reactivity has the effect of feeding the anxiety. The best analogy here is to think of the anxiety as being like a fire and the reactivity is the fuel that feeds that fire.
So when you become lost in reactive thinking and rumination and other forms of reactivity towards your anxiety, it simply feeds the fire. But once you stop reacting to it then you provide a healing environment. It's taking the fuel away from the fire. And when you do that the anxiety will begin to heal itself in that space that you've provided for it.
So mindfulness is about embracing our emotions and giving them a space in which to heal. And it's quite surprising to some people, but the fact is that they will heal your anxiety will heal itself if you allow it to heal. That means with without becoming reactive towards it.
So anxiety is a habit and the anxiety that is causing you problems is not healing because you're not building a compassionate, friendly and conscious relationship with it. That is what I find, over and over again, is the real issue.
So if you would like help in learning how to change your relationship with your anxiety or other emotions and help promote this natural inner healing process, then please do contact me and we can schedule an online therapy session.
So mindfulness therapy is one of the very best ways of promoting healing of emotions. It has some elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy in it, but it's much more focused on healing the emotions directly through changing our relationship to them. When the emotions heal then the reactive thinking heals also, and that begins to subside. So this I find to be a better way of approaching anxiety. Work on healing the emotion directly rather than just focusing on trying to change your thought patterns.
So please contact me and let's schedule a therapy session so you can learn how to overcome your anxiety and get relief from anxiety. Thank you.

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Online Psychotherapy for Anxiety by Skype
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional psychotherapist based in Boulder Colorado and I offer online psychotherapy for anxiety via Skype.
So if you're interested in learning more about online therapy for treating anxiety disorders, whether that's generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, or if you have a problem with recurrent panic attacks, or if you suffer from driving anxiety disorder or a phobia in general, then please go to my website and learn more about this online psychotherapy service that I offer.
If you're interested in online psychotherapy you should check that the therapist is able to provide sessions via Skype. I believe it's essential that you are able to see each other as well as speak to each other, because this greatly improves the effectiveness of communication. And that's a very important fact when you're working with difficult emotional conditions like anxiety and panic attacks or depression, or even for work with addiction.
Many people like online therapy because it's clearly more convenient. And if you're living abroad or in a rural area you might find it difficult to find a local therapist that you want to work with.
People like the greater privacy also offered by online psychotherapy. It means that you can conduct your sessions from home and in the privacy of your own environment. And that's quite important for a lot of people. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable talking about our emotional problems. If it's an addiction it's often very difficult to talk about that in a more public setting. Being able to talk about your anxiety online is much less intimidating for most people. So that's one of one of the additional benefits of online therapy via Skype.
The style of psychotherapy that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy and this is a particular approach that I developed many years ago now that has proven to be incredibly effective for helping people manage anxiety disorders.
It's a technique that uses mindfulness. Mindfulness is simply a way of focusing conscious attention on emotions and on thoughts and memories and other components of the mind. It's a way of becoming conscious without becoming overwhelmed or consumed or lost in anxiety or depression or any other emotional formation.
We have to build a conscious relationship with our emotions. That is an absolute requirement for them to change, in my opinion. Talking about your anxiety can provide temporary relief but it's seldom as good as actually building an internal relationship with your anxiety in which you spend more time, if you like, listening to it rather than reacting to it or trying to explain it away or trying to understand it. All of these forms of cognitive processing are really taking you away from the emotion itself.
We create a safe space around our anxiety and we begin to explore how that anxiety works. One of the most important things we first focus on is the constellation of reactive thoughts that feeds that anxiety.
So anxiety tends to lead to proliferation of anxiety-based thinking. And this in turn feeds the underlying anxiety and creates this vicious feedback loop that stops the anxiety healing. So the first part of mindfulness is all about learning to see these reactive thoughts and breaking the unconscious habits of becoming lost in those thoughts. So we're not indulging the anxiety. Instead with simply creating a conscious and non-reactive relationship with it.
The second thing that we focus on in great detail during Mindfulness Therapy is looking at the internal imagery of the emotion. And this might be a new concept to you, but if you think about it you will begin to realize that all emotions are based around imagery.
So if you'd like to learn more about online psychotherapy via Skype for your anxiety do please email me and tell me more about how I can help you. And then when you feel ready we can schedule a session.
You will see in the very first session just how powerful this approach can be and most people see changes after the very first session, when you start applying the mindfulness methods that I'll teach you on how to work with your anxiety.
So please contact me if you'd like to get started.
