Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression or addiction, you MUST heal the underlying core emotions that fuel that emotional disorder. This is exactly what I will teach you during online therapy sessions; how to apply mindfulness training to heal emotional suffering and break free from negative emotional reactivity. If you are prepared to work hard you can expect to see big changes after 3-4 sessions.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I offer online therapy for the treatment of anxiety, for help with depression and also for help with recovery from addictions.
If you'd like to talk to an online therapist for help with anxiety or if you'd like to talk to a therapist for help overcoming depression or addiction, then please go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service and reach out to me by e-mail. Ask any questions you have about online therapy and how it can help you and schedule a trial therapy session.
The system that I offer online is called mindfulness therapy, which is extremely effective for treating anxiety and depression and also it's very helpful for helping you manage the underlying emotions that are fueling addiction. And I make a big point of this. You must heal those underlying core emotions that fuel your anxiety, depression or addiction if you are to really fully recover from these emotional disorders.
This process is much easier than you might think, and most of my clients see quite dramatic changes after three to four sessions. It does not take years of therapy to learn how to manage anxiety, depression or addiction. What it takes is practical, focused strategic approaches to working with the core emotions that fuel anxiety, depression and addiction, and that's what I will teach you during mindfulness therapy sessions.
I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to work with these emotional states, to work with intrusive thoughts and reactive beliefs and so on, using mindfulness, so that you don't become a slave to your mind, so that you can overcome those patterns of reactive thinking.
This is central in mindfulness teaching: how to be with your emotions or thoughts or beliefs without becoming overwhelmed by them. And this is something I will train you in doing, so that you can sit with anxiety and not become anxious. You can sit with depression and not become depressed. You can sit with the compulsive impulses driving an addiction without becoming overwhelmed by those compulsive impulses.
And this is the first step a first essential step that you learn in the first two to three sessions of mindfulness therapy. We call this the "liberating effect of mindfulness." It basically liberates you from that habit of being blindly overwhelmed by thoughts and emotional reactions.
The second part of mindfulness therapy and training is learning how to respond to those core emotions in a way that brings about their healing and mindfulness therapy is very much about promoting inner the healing of core anxiety or depression or addiction.
So if you'd like to learn more, go to my website. Watch more of my videos and read more about this online Mindfulness Therapy approach. Please contact me with any questions you have. I'd be happy to talk to you. And when you feel ready you can schedule a Skype Therapy session with me. I'm based in Boulder, Colorado USA, but I see people worldwide.

If you would like to talk with a therapist online I encourage you to go to my website and learn more about online therapy.
So being able to talk with a therapist online is very convenient of course. It means that you can have your therapy sessions without having to leave home or without having to leave work. All you need is a quiet place and a good internet connection and a copy of Skype installed on your device, whether that's a laptop or computer or mobile phone.
People like the convenience of being able to talk with a psychotherapist online. I've been offering this online therapy service for over 10 years now and it's very, very popular indeed because of this convenience.
There are many other advantages to being able to see a therapist online. And that includes the fact that it makes you feel more comfortable and it makes you feel more in control of your change process. And this is very important.
If you're working with difficult emotions, if you're working with extreme anxiety or depression or if you're struggling with an addiction it's important that you feel and gain more and more control in working with these emotions.
So actually the process of going into a therapist's office can actually make you feel less empowered and makes you feel more like a victim rather than making you feel more in charge. So this is an important factor. This is why I don't advocate treatment based approaches in general, including medications, because they don't give you the tools that you need to overcome your anxiety or depression.
You have to work at the psychological level to do that, if you really want to heal. You have to change the underlying habitual processes that causes your emotional suffering. And that's what I focus on during these online Mindfulness Therapy sessions that I offer via Skype.
I will teach you how to work with your emotions so that you don't become controlled by them. I will teach you how to develop a conscious relationship with your emotions and thoughts without becoming a victim of your emotional reactivity.
Emotional reactivity such as anxiety or depression or addiction is, at the end of the day, nothing more than a very strong and ingrained psychological habit and habits can be trained to change by using tools like mindfulness, where we actually focus mindful attention on the habit itself.
The very process of observing your emotions actually helps you break free from your emotions because you establish a conscious relationship and habits work unconsciously, they depend on you not forming a conscious relationship with your emotions.
So this is one aspect of Mindfulness Therapy that's really important for successful change. If you really want to break free from your emotional suffering then you need to learn how to apply mindfulness to work with those emotions.

Traditional counseling can be useful, but often it does not look at the underlying psychological process that is the real cause of your emotional suffering.
This also applies to the use of medications - a drug may provide temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications are not effective for transforming the underlying psychological process that causes your emotional pain.
The style of psychotherapy that I teach online is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is quite successful for handling chronic anxiety and for treating chronic depression and other common psychological difficulties caused by conditioned negative thinking. Most of my students notice measurable reduction in the level of anxiety and depression after the first couple of sessions of Skype Therapy.

So the advantages of talking to a therapist online, as I said are ones of convenience and also it's much more comfortable for you. But it also helps you develop a better understanding of how to work with the mind.
So during the online therapy sessions I teach you very effective mindfulness-based methods for working with anxiety and depression. Most of my clients suffer from either anxiety or depression and they benefit tremendously when they start practicing the mindfulness techniques that I teach.
The central most important thing is to learn how to develop a conscious and friendly relationship with your emotions. The biggest mistake that I see over and over again is that people develop an aversion to their anxiety or depression, they run away from their emotions or they find them or they react to their anxiety with anger or hostility or resistance or self-criticism, etc.
The process of reactivity feeds the anxiety or depression. It only begins to change when you change your relationship to your emotions, so that's why it's so important to develop conscious and frankly relationship with your emotions. Then you create the right conditions in which they can change.
And this is the whole basis of mindfulness therapy we learned to actually meditate on our anxiety and on how depression and any other emotions or thoughts that create suffering in the mind. We learned to develop balance in relationship to our emotions and our thoughts.
Learn how to break free from this process of habitual reactivity that feeds the anxiety or depression. When you do that then you stop feeding the fire of the anxiety or depression or any other emotion. When you stop feeding it, it begins to change and it begins to heal. So the second part of mindfulness therapy is learning how to help it heal, how to help your anxiety or depression heal itself.
And I will teach you exactly how to do this during these online therapy sessions. So, if you'd like to talk to a therapist online and you'd like to learn more about online psychotherapy in general, then please go to my website, and when you are ready to start you can email me and we can schedule a Skype therapy session. Thank you.

So if you would like to talk with a therapist online for help with anxiety depression, addictions or any other psychological emotional problem that can benefit from psychotherapy then please do contact me through my website. So I provide online therapy over Skype for anxiety and depression, or OCD, for addictions and many other emotional psychological problems.
Mindfulness Therapy is very effective indeed for helping you break free from those habits that feed anxiety and depression. This is the main focus of training, how to break free from that reactive identification with our emotions, with our thoughts and with our beliefs and also with our memories too.
It's just a habit. The thought or emotion gets triggered out of conditioning, out of habit. And then what tends to happen is that we just fall right into it, right into the grip of the emotion or the reactive thoughts or the memory, if it is traumatic, and then we proliferate that suffering.
So the key, the first step to breaking this habit of reactive identification is to develop mindful consciousness of these habits. Because when you bring consciousness to the habits that takes away their power, because habits only work when there's no consciousness around; they are unconscious by their nature.
So how do you do this? Well we learn how to meditate on our mind. That means meditating on our emotions or thoughts, our traumatic memories, or emotionally charged beliefs, whatever they may be, that are limiting us and creating suffering.
We do not accept these habits. Instead we learn to meditate on them. So that means replaying the emotion, the memory or the thoughts in the mind, deliberately bringing it into the mind, then sitting with that mental object with mindfulness, with consciousness observing it.
And this is the important thing to understand here. The more that you become the Observer, the freer you become from the observed. When you are observing anxiety you become the Observer not the anxiety. So the action of observing consciously actually frees you from the anxiety.
And this is extremely important, to get this separation from the emotion or the thoughts or the memory or any other content of mind. If there's no separation then you simply become a victim of those mental objects. You become consumed by them, overwhelmed by them, a slave to your emotions and your reactive thoughts.
But through deliberately training with them using mindfulness meditation we develop more and more freedom from those habitual thoughts and emotions. So that's really important.
When you have established sufficient freedom, then you can begin to respond skillfully to help any unresolved emotion heal, and that's the second, primary component if you like of Mindfulness Therapy or mindfulness meditation therapy. We learn how to respond with compassion to any emotional suffering that we experience in the mind. We help it heal. We help it heal by establishing a conscious compassionate relationship with that part of ourself that's in pain.
And this is very much like a parent-child relationship. You can think of the emotional pain, whether it's anxiety or depression or guilt or shame or anger or poor self-esteem, whatever it might be, you can think of it as being like a child. The child is in pain. Your job is to develop your consciousness as a parent to that child to help it heal.
So that's part of mindfulness meditation training, and I will teach you how to do this in great detail. It's not just a question of reading a book about this; it's not just feeling inspired and then struggling with it. No. You need very specific guidance and training on how to do this. But this approach works.
So please, if you're interested in learning more about online therapy via Skype, then simply email me. If you would like to get started and start learning how to use mindfulness to work with your emotional suffering then e-mail me. I look forward to meeting you and helping you. Thank you.
