Talk to an Online Therapist via Skype for effective help with anxiety and depression

My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional mindfulness therapist specializing in Buddhist psychotherapy, which, of course, focuses very much on changing the process that creates your anxiety, depression, addiction, OCD or PTSD.

The focus in this approach is helping you really change the way you relate to emotional habits like anxiety or depression. The problematic relationship is where that relationship is built on habitual reactive patterns of AVOIDANCE and AVERSION, patterns of turning away from our emotional suffering, turning away from our painful emotions, turning away from our anxiety, turning away from our negative thoughts and beliefs.

Wherever there is aversion and avoidance, then the problem begins. The real problem is that these reactive patterns, these habits of avoidance and aversion, prevent the anxiety or depression or underlying emotional habits from changing and from healing. They cannot change if we continue to be reactive towards them, if we continue to avoid our emotions, if we continue to react with resistance, struggle and hatred towards our mind. That will simply make those emotional habits stronger.

So, if you would like to talk to a therapist online who specializes in mindfulness psychology and you would like to talk to a psychologist online, then please go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness approach and how it can help you, and then email me to schedule a Skype therapy session.

The mindfulness approach is very focused and practical. It s quite different than conventional talk therapy. Talk therapy in general, talking about our emotions, may bring about a temporary relief from the symptoms. You may feel better, but that feeling doesn't last because we are not changing the underlying emotional habit and the patterns of avoidance and aversion that are feeding that emotional habit.

The same goes for medications as well. Medications have their place, but only as a short-term way of reducing the intensity of the emotional pain. Medications are not designed to change that underlying psychological process that causes your anxiety, depression or addiction.

From my experience, this approach of mindfulness is the most effective way of producing fast changes in emotional habits and many of my clients see substantial improvements after the first 3-4 sessions. It is quite a different way of working with your mind.

Most of my clients have tried medications and conventional talk therapy / counseling but have not received the relief they want. This is understandable, because mediations and indirect talking about your emotions is not sufficient to change the underlying habitual process that creates and feeds anxiety and depression. You need to address these directly, and this is the focus of Mindfulness Therapy, the approach that I favor and find to be most effective for producing lasting change.

I specialize in mindfulness therapy. Mindfulness is an extremely effective way of changing habits. It allows you to develop a conscious and compassionate relationship with your emotions and with your thoughts. And this is essential. You have to learn how to sit with your emotions and thoughts without becoming identified with them and without becoming reactive. If you can do that then you stop feeding those habits, basically.

And this creates the ideal conditions whereby the habit of anxiety or depression or any other emotional psychological form of suffering will begin to resolve itself. If you don't feed it it will resolve itself. Also if you stop feeding it and you establish a good relationship with your emotions then you're in a much better position to be able to help your emotions resolve themselves.

You learn how to interact with them with more consciousness and more compassion the same way that you might relate to a child or another person who is in pain. If you are reactive you are not going to be able to help them overcome their emotional suffering. You have to be non-reactive in your relationship to them and it's exactly the same with our emotions.

We have to learn to be non-reactive in relationship to our anxiety of fear of panic or depression or obsessions with the ever emotional suffering that you are experiencing. You have to establish a good relationship with them then you can actually help those emotions change themselves and heal. This is one of the central themes in Mindfulness Therapy is building this relationship.

And the second important concept for you to understand is that your anxiety, your depression, your suffering is already trying to heal itself. It's only because of the problem of reactivity that gets in the way of it healing itself. So that's a very important thing to understand. It's not so much us trying to fix or change her anxiety or depression, it's allowing them to change and heal in a natural way by themselves, and the less reactive you become the the more this happens.

Online Mindfulness Therapy for Anxiety and Depression

The style of therapy that I provide is called Mindfulness Therapy, which is extremely effective for anxiety. It's a way of, basically, changing the underlying process that causes anxiety or depression. It's a way of breaking free from those patterns of reactive thinking that sustain anxiety, depression and, of course, addiction, also.

We have to change the way we relate to our thoughts and emotions. The greatest obstacle to change is aversion and avoidance.

In Mindfulness Therapy we pay particular attention to developing much more conscious awareness of our reactive thoughts to overcome the avoidance habit, and then we actually develop a friendly relationship with our emotional pain, our anxiety, our depression or even our negative thoughts.

It's extremely important because it's the quality of this conscious friendly relationship to your emotions that allows them to change and allows you to change your relationship so that you are no longer overcome by reactive thinking.

Speak with a Therapist Online via Skype

Would you like to speak with a therapist online over Skype? If so please contact me through my website. I offer online psychotherapy via Skype for help with anxiety and depression and many other common psychological problems that can be managed through the methods of mindfulness therapy.

This is a very exciting and very effective approach for overcoming those patterns of habitual emotional reactivity. We learn how to change the relationship that we have to our emotions. This is the key feature of mindfulness therapy.

So the emotions are what provides the power, if you like, for everything in the mind. In mindfulness psychology we understand that emotions precede thoughts, not the other way around as is taught in CBT for example. If you are feeling afraid or angry you are likely to start generating thoughts based around fear or anger. If there is no emotion preceding those thoughts then those thoughts don't form in the first place. Or if they do they resolve very quickly.

So working with the underlying emotions is key. And what we focus on in mindfulness therapy is forming a conscious relationship that's also based on friendliness and compassion with those painful emotions, like anxiety and depression, or shame or guilt or compulsion, in the case of an addiction. Whatever it might be we have to fundamentally change the relationship that we have with those emotions.

Typically we don't have a good relationship with our emotions. We simply react to them with more suffering and more reactive thoughts that simply feed those emotions and make them more painful, and also prevent them from healing. They cannot heal if you continue to react to them and feed them.

We have to learn how to sit with our emotions without reacting. That is the key first step in mindfulness training, and we do this by actually meditating on our emotions. We don't waste time talking about our emotions. That tends to simply feed the problem.

We instead focus our time on changing our relationship to our emotions so that we can hold them in conscious awareness without becoming identified with them and without reacting to them with cognitive reactivity or further emotional reactivity or even behavioral reactivity. An addiction is an example of behavioral reactivity, that is, if you like, trying to escape emotional pain.

So we need to cultivate this very non-reactive relationship first of all with our emotions. Then the second phase of our training is to learn how to work with those emotions in a way that helps them heal directly. Not by trying to change our belief structure or understanding or exploring the past or reasons why we feel this way. That approach is not usually very effective.

We work directly with the emotions. Typically almost all emotional suffering is based around fear. So we need to learn how to comfort fear. We need to learn how to relate to that fear in a way that will comfort it. We need to become like a friend or parent to those emotions that are in pain because that is what creates the healing. It's the quality of that relationship itself.

And it takes some training but not a lot. Most people already know the wisdom of this approach. It's natural. It's what you would do if you were comforting a friend or a child that was in pain.

You would approach it in this way. You would first of all establish a very safe and non-reactive relationship with them and then you would progress into finding ways to comfort them, which might be as simple as holding them or just being quiet and listening to them.

That quality of relationship is where the healing happens, the reactivity does not heal and even trying to understand your emotions and conceptualize them is technically speaking, just another form of cognitive reactivity. It doesn't usually heal the underlying emotion.

So if you'd like to learn more about this approach, please contact me and schedule a Skype Therapy session so you can see for yourself just how effective this mindfulness therapy approach is especially for anxiety disorders and depression. But I also work with addictions, as well. So contact me if this interests you. Thank you.
