Online Therapy for Agoraphobia

Overcome agoraphobia through Online Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy via Skype

I will teach you how to work with your anxiety in a way that neutralizes your anxiety and prevents you from becoming overwhelmed by anxiety.

Mindfulness Therapy is especially effective for the treatment of agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders and online therapy makes the whole process of recovery both convenient and available for you, especially if you are struggling with agoraphobia and the fear of being in public places.

Most people come to me after trying traditional “talk therapy” and counseling and are looking for an alternative approach that focuses on transforming the underlying cause of your anxiety and that does not depend on medications for controlling symptoms.

I will guide you through the process of Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy via Skype and you will see significant improvements after each therapy session as you start to apply the methods that I will teach you. Most people see significant improvements after 3-4 sessions.

The online therapy option is essential if you suffer from agoraphobia and find it difficult to leave home and it is recommended that you use Skype or Zoom so that you and your therapist can see each other to establish good communication.

FAQ

What is the main cause of agoraphobia?

It is not clear what causes agoraphobia, but it often begins after experiencing a panic attack that is particularly traumatic. It is also common to have underlying issues with anxiety and depression that feed the agoraphobia. See: Agoraphobia Causes

What is the best therapy for agoraphobia?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an important component of a successful treatment plan because you will need to learn how to manage reactive thinking and beliefs. Mindfulness Therapy incorporates CBT and takes it to a much higher level.

It is also essential to incorporate an appropriate Exposure Therapy plan such as Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy, which is what I teach via Skype.

Can agoraphobia be treated at home?

Yes, with the right kind of psychotherapy delivered online via Skype or Zoom. Using a Skype-enabled smartphone, will allow me to guide you through the Exposure Therapy program in real time.

How long does it take to overcome agoraphobia?

This will depend on the type of psychotherapy you receive. Traditional “talk therapy” or counseling is usually insufficient. You need a very focused approach that must incorporate Exposure Therapy and effective strategies for managing anxiety and anxiety-producing thoughts and beliefs. Most people begin to see improvements after 3-4 sessions. The rate of recovery also depends on the level of commitment that you have to recovery and how diligently you practice between sessions. The more you practice the greater confidence you develop, which typically leads to a major breakthrough usually within 12 sessions or so when the level of anxiety falls away to insignificant levels.

What happens if agoraphobia is left untreated?

If not treated agoraphobia often leads to progressive restriction in activities due to identification with avoidance thoughts and can lead to an inability to leave home. The “safe zone” becomes smaller and smaller.

It is very important that you do not fall into the avoidance trap because that will simply feed your agoraphobia.

See a Therapist Online via Skype for highly effective online help and therapy for overcoming Chronic Agoraphobia, Anxiety, Panic Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder.

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

Anti-anxiety medications don’t address this. Medications only treat anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.

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

Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia

This is the key to overcoming agoraphobia. Exposure Therapy is obviously an essential component of a successful strategy for overcoming the strong anxiety and panic reactions associated with agoraphobia, but repeated exposure alone is not the most effective approach. The theory is that repeat exposures gradually desensitizes you and sometimes this works, but without a well-planned strategy this can also simply lead to re-traumatization.

It is essential that you learn how to work with your habitual anxiety reactions psychologically and this is what makes Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy considerably more effective than Exposure Therapy alone.

Working with Inner Imagery – The secret to healing Agoraphobia

We can learn about the structure of our inner imagery by observing our emotions with mindfulness. From what we learn, we can intuitively see what changes in the imagery might be helpful. Change the imagery and you change the structure of the emotion.

People with agoraphobia typically have a great deal of inner imagery, very often based on the feeling of emptiness, an inner void or black hole that threatens to swallow up everything.

Discovering the structure of this imagery provides a very powerful tool for changing the intensity of the anxiety underlying agoraphobia. This approach is one of the most effective treatment for agoraphobia and was pioneered by Dr. Strong in the 1980s.

How to beat agoraphobia – Online Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

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 Therapy by Skype for Agoraphobia

Contact me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for anxiety and depression, specializing in the treatment of agoraphobia via Skype.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy delivered over Skype for help with anxiety disorders including agoraphobia.

So during online therapy sessions I’ll teach you how to work with your agoraphobia, with your anxiety, with your panic attacks, using the very effective methods of mindfulness therapy.

So basically what we do is we start to design a series of challenges. These are manageable challenges that you can schedule and work on each day, extending the range of your comfort zone. Essentially, whatever those challenges are that’s for you to determine. But what makes the mindfulness therapy approach so effective is that we do a lot of preparation before we do each of these challenges. And primarily the the mechanism, the the approach that I take is one of teaching you how to meditate on your challenge.

So you play that through in the mind you visualize doing that challenge. Perhaps it might be walking around the block or as simple as stepping outside the front door, whatever it is doesn’t matter. But we prepare for it by playing it through in the mind and then watching for any fear reactions that occur. When you find that emotional reaction we then build a mindfulness based relationship to the fear itself. This is the key. We learn to hold that fear in the mind without becoming identified with it and without reacting to that fear reaction with more fear or with avoidance or with hatred or self-criticism or some kind of distraction.

We must not under any circumstances try to avoid the fear or anxiety. We have to build a conscious relationship with it. So that’s the first part of our mindfulness meditation on our challenge. You play that challenge through in the mind. We look for the fear reaction and then we build a conscious mindful relationship with it.

The second stage as we’re doing our preparation here, our training, is to help that fear resolve itself. We effectively teach the fear to resolve itself, and we do this primarily by building this conscious non-reactive relationship with the fear. That is what allows the fear to subside and resolve itself. And so we’re teaching the fear how to resolve itself.

You cannot resolve fear by arguing with it or by some form of rational thought process, trying to explain to the fear that it doesn’t need to be afraid. That kind of approach is not really very effective. What is effective is building this conscious non-reactive and also very compassionate relationship with the emotion itself.

Another part of our mindfulness training is to look at the imagery of the emotion, the fear. So all emotions are based around imagery, how you see it and the mind, and we can work with that imagery using mindfulness and compassion to help that imagery change. And when the imagery changes the fear diminishes. So again you are teaching the fear how to resolve itself by changing its imagery by working with imagery.

If you would like to learn more about online therapy for agoraphobia over Skype using the mindfulness therapy approaches that I have developed over the years, then please reach out to me by email and let’s schedule a session.

My clients really enjoy this approach. It gives them very practical tools that they can develop themselves and it makes you much more independent. And it also does not involve medication. I do not recommend medication for treating any anxiety disorder because it doesn’t allow you to change that underlying psychological habit that causes the anxiety. Medications may provide temporary relief from symptoms but that’s not going to change the the mechanism that produces your anxiety. That is psychological in nature and needs to be addressed by a psychological process like mindfulness therapy.

So if you would like to get started with me, and you would like to really get over your agoraphobia then please contact me now. Lets schedule a session at a time that works for you and for me. I see people throughout North America, Western Europe, the UK and as far away as Japan and Australia. So please contact me if you’d like to learn more about this online therapy approach for overcoming agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia Help Online through Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online therapist based in Boulder, Colorado, and I offer online therapy for anxiety, depression, and stress, including PTSD, and I also offer online help for agoraphobia.

So if you’re interested in seeking online therapy for agoraphobia, then please reach out to me by e-mail. Tell me more about how I can help you. What you’re experiencing. And then we can schedule a Skype Therapy session and I will teach you how to overcome your agoraphobia using the well tested techniques of Mindfulness Therapy that I have developed over the years and found to be very effective for all kinds of anxiety disorders including agoraphobia.

The essence of what I will teach you during these online therapy sessions is how to set up a schedule of strategic exposure challenges. That’s the first thing that we will need to do.

That might involve walking outside that house, or walking into a shop, or whatever it might be, but some challenge, basically, that triggers anxiety. We want to use these challenges as a way of training out of that anxiety reaction.

So we set up a series of challenges and then the most important thing is that we prepare for each challenge using mindfulness meditation, which means that we play through that challenge in the mind, we look for any anxiety reactions that occur and then we meditate on those anxiety reactions themselves.

We basically learn how to dis-identify from those reactions. We learn to overcome the habit of becoming overwhelmed or controlled by those anxiety reactions. You learn to sit with the anxiety without becoming overwhelmed. That is the second essential part of the mindfulness approach, and the third part of Mindfulness Therapy involves healing that anxiety that we find.

And this involves developing a very high quality conscious relationship with the emotion itself based on mindfulness and based on compassion or friendliness, and this approach works extremely well. The biggest problem that I come across is that people develop a fear of their anxiety and they try to escape it. They try to avoid it. They look for distraction behaviors. Anything to get away from it. And that will not work. You must learn how to form a stable non-reactive relationship with your anxiety and then respond with compassion in the way that I am advocating here, if you want it to heal. That is an essential requirement.

So if you would like to learn more about how to overcome your agoraphobia using Mindfulness Therapy, then please reach out to me by email and let’s schedule Skype Therapy session.

Mindfulness Therapy is very effective for all kinds of anxiety disorders and most people that I work with can expect to see significant improvements after three or four weeks, once they start applying mindfulness methods and executing them with these challenges that I’ve been talking about.

If you take this very strategic and systematic way of working with your anxiety then you will overcome your agoraphobia, and you’ll be able to extend your range and be completely comfortable in a wide range of circumstances that previously may not be possible for you.

Of course doing online therapy for Agoraphobia is very convenient, and sometimes it’s very necessary because it’s so difficult to go to see a therapist away from home.

So if you’re interested, please email me and let’s explore how Mindfulness Therapy can help you overcome your agoraphobia.

If you want to recover fully from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying conditioned anxiety reactions.

Anti-anxiety medications don’t address this. Medications only provide a tempry relief from anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.

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

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

Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

Mindfulness Therapy (MT) is a form of therapy that develops your ability to form a therapeutic relationship with your inner core emotions; your fears, anxiety and depression in which you first learn to stop the proliferation of reactivity and then embrace the painful emotion with the healing space of mindfulness. This is essential if you want to overcome anxiety and panic attacks.

Most of the time, we avoid or resist our core anxiety and fears according to our learned patterns of habitual reactivity, but the truth is that nothing can change if we avoid or resist our emotions. We have to learn how to face our pain if things are to change.

Mindfulness is a very compassionate practice that teaches us exactly how to go about doing this. It is not easy at first, but with continued practice using the tools I will teach you during online sessions, you will learn how to “sit” with your emotions and create that therapeutic relationship that is so essential for healing and transformation.

When you have learned how to “sit” with your anxiety and the other emotions associated with your agoraphobia then the emotions begin to change, and since you are not running away from them you can actually participate in helping the emotions heal.

We learn to make friends with our emotions, a very important second step in the healing process. The age-old truth is that love heals. Reacting with hatred to your inner negative emotions can not help them heal, yet this is what we tend to do most of the time out of habit and wrong understanding.

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

I welcome your inquiries and I look forward to meeting you and helping you break free from social anxiety, social phobia and agoraphobia.

The first session can be quite significant in getting you started on your road to recovery, so please contact me to schedule a Skype therapy session now. There is no charge unless you are completely satisfied with the first session.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist and I offer mindfulness-based online psychotherapy for agoraphobia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

The mindfulness approach is extremely effective and during online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your agoraphobic anxiety using the techniques of mindfulness to help you prevent your becoming overwhelmed by the anxiety reactions. We do this by actually meditating on our anxiety before we do any challenges.

Meditating helps to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety and this is absolutely essential, because the biggest problem that I encounter is that people suffering from anxiety tend to become identified with their emotions. They tend to become consumed by their emotions. They effectively lose their identity and become the emotions and this creates a very reactive place that is very difficult to escape from.

So with mindfulness training you can change this pattern and learn to develop a relationship with your anxiety whereby you do not become identified with it where you can see the anxiety as an observer. This is essential for change. Once you begin to do this the rate of recovery from agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks increases dramatically, and most people will see quite substantial changes after only four or five sessions with me once they start applying the mindfulness-based techniques.

So the basic idea is that you will schedule sessions with me and we will work on setting up a series of challenges that you can manage and then you prepare for these challenges using mindfulness meditation. You do that challenge and you meditate on any anxiety that arose during that challenge. And each time we learn a little more about how to change our relationship to our anxiety so that we basically break free from the habit of identification and becoming overwhelmed by it. And this approach is, from my experience, the most effective there is for overcoming agoraphobic anxiety. So if you’d like to get started with me simply go to my website and then email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with me.

Agoraphobia Help Online through Skype

Through progressive challenges and mindfulness training you will soon make progress in overcoming your agoraphobia. Email me if you would like online help for your agoraphobia.

Welcome. My name is Peter strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist and I offer online help for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders that may be affecting the quality of your life. I offer online therapy, which is of course very convenient if you’re suffering from agoraphobia.

The style of therapy that I offer is called mindfulness therapy and this is a very practical hands-on approach that gives you tools that you can use between therapy sessions to progressively overcome your agoraphobia.

So, mindfulness therapy consists of a combination of two important aspects. The first is designing a series of progressive challenges. That’s very important, of course, that you try to face your fears and not simply give into them. But you need to do this in a progressive way starting simple and then progressing to more difficult challenges.

The other part of this approach is to do training before you do any kind of exposure challenge. You need to prepare yourself so that if anxiety gets triggered, that you will have trained such that that that anxiety will dissipate or resolve itself on the spot in the presence of the particular triggers that trigger the fear, anxiety or panic attacks. So we train beforehand.

We do this by developing a very different quality of relationship to our anxiety and this is the hallmark of mindfulness therapy. The real problem is not so much the anxiety itself but our reactions to that anxiety. We tend to develop patterns of fear-based reactions to our anxiety and other emotions that tend to feed that underlying anxiety and stop it resolving itself.

So, during the preparation step before a challenge you actually will be learning how to meditate on your anxiety. So you will play through the scene of perhaps walking around the block or whatever challenge you decide to start with. You look for the anxiety that gets triggered in your mind and then you change the way that you relate to that anxiety. And the most important thing is not to become identified with the anxiety; to see the anxiety as if it was a visitor or simply an object in the mind. Then we can learn to develop balance in relationship to that object. So you can sit with your anxiety without becoming anxious. That’s the most important first step in the training before you do any challenges.

The second step is to respond to that anxiety with a quality of friendliness and compassion. This also is a vital part of the mindfulness approach. Mindfulness is this combination of consciousness and friendliness.

Friendliness is immensely powerful in overcoming fear. So you could think that of the fear emotion itself as being like a child. It feels isolated. It’s scared. And what does it need? The most important thing it needs is to feel a connection with its parent. The parent is not afraid. During meditation on our anxiety we establish this kind of internal parent which we call our true self. It is not afraid it is able to establish a relationship with the anxiety that is not based on fear based on compassion. This is exactly what the fear needs in order to resolve itself. And that is what we call the True Self-Little Self Alliance.

So when people are stuck in patterns of anxiety it’s because that alliance is missing within. So building that is essential. And there are many other things that we do during the training before each challenge session, but that’s a taste of Mindfulness Therapy. It is very, very effective in deed, and most people see significant improvements after three or four weeks practicing the techniques that I will teach you. So, if you’re interested in online help for your anxiety and your agoraphobia do please send me an email and schedule a therapy session via Skype.

How to overcome agoraphobia without medication – Online Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

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 am a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression and addictions and many other emotional problems that respond well to mindfulness therapy. One particular anxiety disorder that I work with a great deal is agoraphobia. So if you’re interested in overcoming agoraphobia without the use of medications but through learning the strategic methods of mindfulness training and therapy then do please contact me and tell me more about your condition and I will be happy to answer any questions you have.

When you feel ready you can schedule a Skype Therapy session with me and I will teach you how to overcome agoraphobia without medications.

It’s important to understand that medications are only a temporary solution. They do not and are not designed to change the underlying psychological habitual process that generates anxiety. Medications simply reduce symptoms but really they are not really a good choice in the long run because they leave you vulnerable to those underlying psychological habits that create the anxiety. You want to change those habits and that’s the focus of mindfulness therapy. I will teach you how to neutralize those underlying habits that create anxiety.

So what triggers anxiety in agoraphobia? Well is generally triggered by thoughts and beliefs and anticipation and rumination whereby you get trapped in cycles of fear-based thinking.

What will happen if I have a panic attack away from home? How will I get home? The fear of being trapped, the fear of not being able to get back to a secure zone, basically.

So agoraphobia is characterized by being a prisoner of a comfort zone which often gets smaller and smaller as the disorder progresses. So we have to work on building strategies to get you out of that prison, and we do that by working on those emotional habits directly. Typically we are not really aware of our anxiety producing habits. They operate unconsciously like most habits and we just blindly accept them. We identify with these habits and we suffer because of that.

So the first thing that we do in mindfulness therapy is identifying those thought reactions themselves that trigger the anxiety. We then work in a very specific way with those thoughts reactions and beliefs using various techniques. The first and most important one is learning to overcome this habit of identification so that we can hold the thought in our mind whatever it might be. The fear of fainting, the fear of being out of control, the fear of having a panic attack, whatever it might be.

We do this by meditating on those thoughts. We make every effort not to avoid those thoughts.

So that’s very important. That is the first part of training. We call this mindfulness-based exposure therapy. We are exposing ourselves to those thoughts; those triggers and we train ourselves out of the habit of blindly identifying with them and feeding the anxiety.

The second way we work with the anxiety thoughts is to work with their imagery. We look at the imagery of the thoughts, how we see the emotion in the mind that gets triggered by these reactive thoughts is very important. That imagery is what actually creates the identity. And we work with that imagery in a way that neutralizes the anxiety.

Now the next part of our approach to overcoming agoraphobia that doesn’t require medication is to design a schedule of daily challenges. So this is where we will expose ourselves to a particular situation that would tend to generate those reactive anxiety-producing thoughts.

And with the mindfulness-based exposure therapy that I’ve been describing, you can expect to see really effective progress within a few sessions. Usually after the first three or four weeks of applying the mindfulness techniques that I will teach you, you will notice significant reduction in anxiety and the ability to now start extending your range out of that prison.

So if you’d like to learn more about how to overcome the agoraphobia without using medication, then please email me and let’s schedule a Skype Therapy session.

They reduce them, but only in a temporary manner. The underlying cause of your anxiety, your panic attacks, your agoraphobia, remains untouched by medications.

If you want to really overcome agoraphobia you have to change those underlying psychological patterns, those emotional habits, that create the anxiety in the first place. So this is essential and this is what we focus on during these online mindfulness therapy sessions for agoraphobia.

You don’t need medication, you need instead to develop a very positive and conscious relationship with your anxiety. When you do this you actually teach the anxiety how to heal itself by being present with it without becoming reactive. The best analogy here is a parent and child. So the child is afraid. What does it need? What it really needs is to be in contact with its parent, who is not afraid. The fearlessness of the parent is absorbed by the child and that allows the child to release his or her fear. So this connection between child and parent is extremely important for healing the underlying cause of the child’s fear.

The same goes for our anxiety, our emotions. They tend to become isolated in the mind, they become cut off from our true self, the bigger aspect of who we really are When they are isolated they cannot heal and then they become reactive and create the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks that you are familiar with.

When we build an internal relationship between your true self and your emotions, that relationship allows those emotions to start to change and heal. And when that relationship is strong and based on consciousness and friendliness, the two key features of mindfulness, then that healing process becomes very strong and very fast.

So this approach of bringing mindfulness to the emotional reactions that underlie our agoraphobia is very effective in deed and produces results in very few sessions compared to conventional talk therapy, and certainly better than medications.

So if you’d like to learn how to overcome agoraphobia without medication and using the methods of mindfulness therapy that I teach then please email me and let’s schedule an online therapy session.

So online therapy works very well for people suffering from anxiety disorders.

How to Overcome Agoraphobia Online Help via Skype

How do I overcome my agoraphobia without medication? Online Mindfulness Therapy is one very effective approach for overcoming the fear of panic attacks that is so devastating in Agoraphobia

Email me to schedule a Skype therapy session with Dr. Peter Strong, specialist in online mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders, including agoraphobia, and depression.

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional online psychotherapist based in Colorado and I offer online therapy via Skype to help people manage anxiety and depression more effectively using the techniques of mindfulness therapy.

This is a system of psychotherapy that I’ve been developing over the last ten or more years now that seems to be extremely effective for anxiety and also depression but basically is very effective for helping you heal the underlying anxiety itself directly. And it does this and a variety of ways one of which is by helping you work on those patterns of reactive thinking that feed the anxiety.

So with agoraphobia the typical situation is that we get obsessed with anxiety producing thoughts about what will happen to us if we leave our safety zone for example that’s a common kind of thought pattern. You know the fear of having a panic attack in public. The fear of fainting or being sick or anything else like that. These are these are fed by a whole system of internal dialogue that is relentless and feeding that anxiety.

So I’m often asked how can I overcome my agoraphobia without using medication and to do this effectively you have to address this underlying psychological process of reactive thinking that’s feeding your anxiety. Medications have their prey’s place you know the selective serotonin uptake inhibitors you know these have their place but medications can change that underlying process. All the medication will ever do is reduce symptoms for a while. But that’s not really healing the problem is not changing the essential underlying psychological habits that are creating your anxiety and fear.

So this is why it is recommended that you look into process oriented psychotherapy like cognitive behavioral therapy or exposure and prevention type protocols. Because these help you actually deal with that underlying reactive process.

I teach mindfulness based exposure therapy which is really great very effective indeed for agoraphobia specifically. It really helps you develop a strategic approach to overcoming your anxiety. So some of the exposure therapy models are OK up to a point but they don’t really tell you how to process the anxiety itself directly. What to do with that emotion? In mindfulness work we work exclusively on reprocessing that emotion, that habit that gets activated.

If you’d like to learn more about the mindfulness approach for healing anxiety including agoraphobia then simply go to my website. Learn More and e-mail me with any questions you may have. Of course it’s very convenient to be able to do your psychotherapy sessions online if you’re suffering from agoraphobia, and that’s one of the reasons why I specialize in Skype Therapy. It’s very important that you can see each other. That’s why we use Skype. This improves the quality of communication and makes the therapy sessions much more effective.

So during our sessions together I will teach you how to develop a strategy for overcoming your anxiety using mindfulness based exposure therapy. So what does this entail? Well it it entails designing a series of challenges that are manageable but that tend to produce anxiety. So it might be simply leaving the comfort of your own home and walking to a shop or going to a mall or any number of things. You will know what those triggers are that trigger your anxiety and panic attacks.

We design a series of challenges where we basically take one challenge and we prepare for it using mindfulness methods. This basically means playing the challenge through in the mind, visualizing going to the mall for example, and then watching for the anxiety reaction and all of the reactive thoughts that get triggered when that anxiety is triggered in the mind.

When we find those anxiety thoughts and the emotion itself we then start to build a different kind of relationship with it that is based on consciousness, on mindfulness, where we can become the observer of these thoughts and emotions but without becoming identified with them. In this way we break the habit that causes our anxiety.
Let me help you break free from your agoraphobia through Mindfulness Therapy.

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 provide online therapy via Skype for anxiety and depression and particularly for the treatment of agoraphobia. So if you’re looking for agoraphobia therapy online I invite you to go to my website. Read more about this online therapy service that I offer hand please contact me if you would like to schedule some Skype Therapy sessions with me to help you overcome your agoraphobia.

So if you are suffering from agoraphobia it is essential that you are able to find an online therapist to work with simply because it’s so difficult for you to leave home. And there are a number of services now offering online psychotherapy for the treatment of agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders too.

Whether you choose me or someone else, the important thing is that you find a therapist to work with who uses Skype or similar video platform because it’s very important that you can see each other. That will improve the quality of communication and the quality of the therapy that you are getting.

The other thing is make sure that you feel completely comfortable with the therapist that you select. Make sure that they answer your questions about the therapist’s approach and trust your own judgment, your own intuition. That is by far the best guide, much more so than how many letters the therapist has after his name. What’s important is that you feel comfortable with the therapist and you like the approach that they are offering.

So in the style of agoraphobia therapy that I offer is based on the application of mindfulness. Mindfulness Therapy is a very effective way of working with anxiety disorders like agoraphobia. It also helps you manage panic attacks and any other aspect of anxiety that’s causing you distress and that are limiting the quality of your life.

So in Mindfulness Therapy the primary approach that we take is called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy, and that is where you will basically design a series of challenges with my help so that you can begin to train yourself out of the anxiety habits.

So in mindfulness training we teach that suffering like anxiety and depression is basically an emotional habit. It is the result of conditioning. This habit formation gets started, often in childhood, and it never gets resolved. And this anxiety shows up in different forms different types of anxiety such as agoraphobia or social anxiety or a phobia or panic attacks or driving anxiety, etc.

So the first stage is to set up a schedule of exposure challenges. And then what is most important is to train using mindfulness for each challenge that you schedule. Exposure therapy by itself is not sufficient. You must train with the anxiety beforehand.

So we do this by a technique called Rehearsal Meditation, whereby you imagine doing that challenge in order to find the anxiety and then you start working with that anxiety using mindfulness and compassion.

You look at the structure of the anxiety, you find out how it works. You look at the patterns of reactive thoughts that feed that anxiety and you begin to change your relationship to the anxiety formation. You start to break free from its influence by becoming more and more aware of it, more conscious of the thoughts and the emotion. The basic rule here is that the more you see, the less fear you will experience. That may seem counter-intuitive but it’s actually the case. Fear is based on what you don’t see much more than what you do see.

So we do this in great detail with the challenge in our imagination before we do the challenge. That’s why it’s called a Rehearsal Meditation. When you can visualize doing that challenge, whatever it might be, perhaps just walking around the block or driving in the car, if you can do that, whatever it might be, when you feel that you can do that with the complete absence of anxiety then you do the live challenge, the exposure challenge, and your training that you did in the Rehearsal Meditation will take effect and will effectively inhibit any anxiety reactions during the challenge.

And when you take this approach you’ll start to see dramatic improvements in a very short time. Typically, most of my clients see quite dramatic changes after three to four weeks of doing this kind of progressive exposure challenge using mindfulness.

So if you’re looking for an online therapist via Skype to help you manage your agoraphobia then please contact me and ask any questions you may have about this service and about how I can help you overcome your agoraphobia.

So being able to see a therapist online is of course essential if you’re suffering from agoraphobia and find it very difficult to leave the comfort of your own home or to travel by car to see a therapist.

The biggest problem with agoraphobia is that we become trapped, we become imprisoned in our home or in a very restricted “safe zone” and it’s very anxiety producing to try and leave that zone. So that’s why I have developed an online Skype-based program to help people overcome the anxiety and panic attacks associated with the agoraphobia.

The main approach that I have developed and specialize in and that I find works best for agoraphobia is called Mindfulness Therapy and specifically mindfulness-based exposure therapy.

So exposure therapy is an essential part of your recovery process. You need to challenge yourself to move outside of your comfort comfort zone. That’s very important. You must not fall into the habit of avoidance. That really is a problem for agoraphobia, this tendency to avoid anxiety-producing situations. When you fall into that trap of avoidance you end up reinforcing the anxiety.

So we need to develop a very strategic approach to extending our range and stop the avoidance behaviors.

The biggest problem for most people is they simply become hypnotized by those anxiety reactions; they become seduced by them and fall into that anxiety reaction. It’s a blind and unconscious process that’s going on here and that’s what we have to change, and mindfulness is really good at doing that because it brings conscious awareness to the habits, to the thought habits and the emotional reactions that cause that anxiety.

So that’s a little bit of the theory of mindfulness therapy and how it works for neutralizing anxiety. So if you would like to learn more, please contact me and we can schedule a session and you can see for yourself just how effective this approach is.

What Treatment Methods work Best for Agoraphobia?

In my experience, the best therapeutic approach for helping people overcome agoraphobia is a combination of Cognitive Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy).

Cognitive-based therapy helps you identify the underlying habitual and reactive thoughts and beliefs that create anxiety. Developing awareness of these habitual negative thinking patterns is a very important first step in changing them.

Mindfulness Therapy helps you neutralize and resolve the underlying emotional panic anxiety and fear that fuels the thoughts and beliefs. Learning how to diffuse and resolve the underlying emotions is essential and mindfulness is one of the best awareness tools for doing this.

With practice, you begin to completely change your relationship to the emotions from being a victim to being aware. the more aware you are, the less reactive you become. As you become less reactive, you can begin to explore ways to heal the anxiety-fear directly. Instead of fighting your emotions or avoiding them, you learn how to be with them as a friend. Mindfulness training makes this possible.

The combined approach teaches you how to work with panic anxiety thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them and this makes it possible to do Imaginal Exposure Exercises, where you imagine leaving your house or going on a journey or being in a crowded place. Through repetition you quickly learn how to process any anxiety reactions as they arise and you prepare yourself for an actual real-life challenge.

At first, we make the challenge small and manageable. We begin to build direct experience and confidence and build on what we have achieved. This very systematic process of preparation through guided Imaginal Exposure followed by real challenges is a proven and effective method for breaking free from agoraphobia and panic attacks.

How to Overcome Agoraphobia Online Help via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders, including agoraphobia. So if you’re looking for online support for agoraphobia then this is a good service for you to consider. Just go to my website and read more about this online therapy service and the mindfulness therapy approach for agoraphobia, and email me with any questions you may have.

So mindfulness therapy is one of the most effective ways of treating anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia. What it does is it teaches you how to break free from this central problem that we call Reactive Identification. This is where we become overwhelmed by thoughts and emotional reactions that get triggered, and it’s very important to break this habit because every time we become overwhelmed and become identified with our thoughts and with our emotions we feed those emotions and they become stronger and this simply intensifies the anxiety.

The approach to overcoming agoraphobia is one of mindfulness-based exposure therapy. It’s fairly straightforward. Basically, you will design a number of challenges that you will prepare for each and every day. And you start with very simple challenges that you can do with very little anxiety. But nevertheless you prepare for that challenge, whether it’s walking outside into the garden or walking around the corner. That’s often a big trigger for many agoraphobics when they can no longer see their house. Whatever the challenge we practice for it beforehand. And that’s really what makes mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia somewhat different than more conventional approaches.

We do this by playing through the challenge in our mind, we imagine ourselves doing the challenge, but we would then watch for any anxiety that gets triggered in the mind. And this is before we do the challenge.

When we notice that anxiety that gets triggered by the thoughts of walking around the garden, or around the block or whatever it might be. Then we focus our conscious awareness, our mindfulness skills on that emotion with two purposes in mind. The first purpose is to establish a relationship with that emotion which is conscious and in which you do not become overwhelmed, is not reactively identify with that emotion, you’re able to be with the fear but not become afraid. So that’s the first essential part of training and preparation before you do any of your challenges.

The second part of preparing for our challenge is to work with the emotion itself and help it heal, help it resolve, help it reduce its intensity, again before you ever do the challenge itself. And there’s a number of ways that we do this, but yet again the most effective first step is to establish a relationship with your fear in which you are not afraid. So you are effectively being with your emotion and not feeding that fear. So you, in that process, develop more and more freedom from that fear. You become stronger by sitting with that fear.

We also work with other factors which contribute to the anxiety such as the imagery of the fear, how you see it and the mind is absolutely central to how the motion works. And typically the fear is very large and very close and that’s what causes that fear to manifest. When we start to investigate this imagery we can change it because we have a conscious relationship with it. When you change the imagery you most definitely change the emotion. So that’s another very important part of mindfulness therapy which is part of the training that you will do yourself before you do your challenge.

I will teach you how to do these two steps involved in preparation for your challenges. And when you practice this in this very strategic focused way and then you will most definitely diminish that anxiety until you feel completely confident and comfortable in doing your first challenge and then moving on to a harder challenge. And in this way we progress until we overcome the agoraphobia altogether.

So if you’d like to learn more about how to do all this simply go to my website and please send me an email and we can schedule some therapy sessions at a time that works for you.

How to Overcome Agoraphobia Online Help via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional online psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia. If you’re interested in learning more about how to overcome agoraphobia and other forms of panic disorder then do please go to my website and learn more about the mindfulness therapy methods, and feel free, at any time, to email me and ask any questions you have and I will explain to you in as much detail as I can how Mindfulness Therapy can help you overcome agoraphobia and other forms of severe anxiety.

The key to the mindfulness therapy approach is to give you practical tools that you can apply yourself between sessions. And the two major approaches that you will be practicing yourself after I teach them to you are a combination of a disciplined approach to exposure challenges, so that you will be setting up a series of manageable challenges to extend beyond your comfort zone. And that should be done on a daily basis and often repeating those challenges many times during the day.

So that’s one part, setting up that strategy of regular disciplined challenges. But that alone is not enough. So that’s one of the limitations of exposure therapy. Exposure itself is not enough. You can end up re-traumatizing yourself and making the anxiety worse. You must combine that exposure challenge strategy with adequate preparation and processing beforehand. So there’s a training element and this is where the mindfulness therapy comes in.

Basically, the way that works is that you rehearse the challenge before you do it. Many times you play it through in the mind, whatever that challenge might be. You imagine yourself walking to the edge of your comfort zone just sufficiently that you can access that anxiety. You then work on the most important thing of all which is changing your relationship to the habitual anxiety reactions that get triggered.

The real problem that prevents anxiety disorders from healing and changing is the way that we get lost in habitual reactivity. We simply identify with that anxiety and we become our fear. What we need to do is change our relationship to the anxiety so that we can see it consciously as it arises, and cultivate balance in relationship to your anxiety. It’s like learning to sit on the bank of the river and not fall in. That’s the key component of mindfulness therapy that makes it so effective.

Because anxiety arises is not the end of the story. It’s only because we become identified with that and anxiety reaction. And then, of course, we tend to feed the anxiety with catastrophic thinking and all kinds of cognitive reactivity, as well.

So by training with the anxiety reactions and thought reactions ahead of time you can basically disarm those habitual reactions before they get triggered. So, that’s the training phase that you would do before each of your daily challenges.

Then you do the challenge and during the challenge you basically just put into practice the training that you have perfected before the challenge. This is mostly about staying conscious staying awake, recognizing the reaction that arises, greeting it consciously and also with a degree of friendliness, which is very, very important in all mindfulness work, and not allowing that habitual reaction to take charge.

And then after the completion of a challenge you might meditate again on any fresh anxiety that arose during that challenge. And again help process that reactivity so you can neutralize it.

Then you can repeat the challenge again and each time the training gets stronger and stronger and stronger.

Most people can expect to see quite significant improvements, and that includes a reduction in the intensity of anxiety, within three to four sessions, three to four weeks of practicing in exposure challenges and training.

Eventually the training becomes so effective that the anxiety doesn’t arise at all and that is a remarkable experience for people who have often struggled with agoraphobia or other forms of extreme anxiety for many years.

So if you’d like to get started with online therapy for your agoraphobia or panic attacks, send me an email then we can schedule a Skype session and we can get started.

Online treatment plan for agoraphobia using Mindfulness Therapy

Exposure Therapy is an essential part of the recovery process, but is not sufficient by itself. You have to engage in thorough training before you do each exposure challenge to prevent simply re-traumatizing yourself. Hence the development of Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy, an approach that I developed several years ago and have found to be very effective when working with clients suffering from agoraphobia.

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy, which of course, is very convenient and necessary if you’re suffering from agoraphobia or other anxiety condition that keeps you housebound.

So I’m often asked, “What is the best treatment for agoraphobia?” “What’s the best way to overcome the anxiety and panic attacks that accompany agoraphobia?” From my experience working with people suffering from agoraphobia, over the last ten years or so now, I find that the best approach is what I call Mindfulness Therapy. This is a system of work that I’ve been developing for many years which really works at the underlying core level of your anxiety. It helps you break free from those patterns of habitual reactivity that cause your anxiety. It works by changing the anxiety directly so that it is not habitually triggered by the common triggers that you encounter in your agoraphobia.

We have to uncover these underlying anxiety habits and then work on changing them. And the best way to doing this is what I call Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy. So this means that you actively create a series of exposure challenges. That might be walking around the block or driving a short distance if you can still drive or even just stepping outside the front door. But it doesn’t matter what the challenges are. But it is essential that you identify challenges that are accompanied by a degree of anxiety and then start working on those challenges and training yourself out of the reactive anxiety that has become habitual.

The way that we train ourselves out of the anxiety reactions is not by simply repeated exposure as is often taught. Repeated exposure is very inefficient and you risk intensifying the anxiety.

So in mindfulness-based exposure therapy we prepare for each challenge in a very thorough way before you do the challenge, and this preparation is called a rehearsal meditation. It’s all about training. So in a rehearsal meditation you imagine doing that challenge and then you look specifically for any anxiety that gets triggered. And then you start to work with that anxiety, working with its structure and helping change that anxiety directly.

So if you would like help with your agoraphobia, please contact me and let’s schedule some therapy sessions over Skype and I will teach you exactly how to apply mindfulness to overcome your agoraphobia. So please contact me if you’d like to get started with the mindfulness approach to overcoming agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia Therapy Online

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy and I offer online agoraphobia therapy.

Many people suffering from agoraphobia really struggle to get the help that they need simply because it’s so difficult to leave the secure zone, the comfort zone of their own home, to see a therapist. So for many people suffering from agoraphobia the online therapy option is absolutely essential and that’s what I’ve been trying to provide over the last 10 years or so now, is a well tested mindfulness-based approach to overcoming the anxiety of agoraphobia.

So, agoraphobia is entirely treatable as long as you take a strategic approach to healing the individual anxiety reactions that make up that agoraphobia.

So if you would like to learn more about mindfulness-based therapy and you like the idea of online agoraphobia therapy, then do please contact me. Let’s schedule a trial session so you can see for yourself how this Mindfulness Therapy approach works.

It is very effective and people start to see changes within weeks once you start applying this mindfulness-based exposure therapy strategy that I will be teaching you. So please reach out to me by email if you’re suffering from agoraphobia and you are looking for online treatment for your agoraphobia.

Online Psychotherapy over Skype for agoraphobia with panic disorder

So if you’re struggling with agoraphobia, you might consider online agoraphobia therapy. Being able to get online psychotherapy for your agoraphobia is very convenient and very necessary in many cases because it’s so difficult to leave the security of your own home. This is the chief characteristic of agoraphobia and it’s a great barrier to getting the help that you need to overcome this anxiety disorder.

So I have developed a system of psychotherapy called Mindfulness Therapy that is extremely effective for anxiety disorders. And it works very well online. So during these online sessions that we can arrange via Skype, I will be teaching you a variety of mindfulness methods and techniques for working with that anxiety in a very focused and strategic way. And that’s the key. You must take a very organized approach to working with your anxiety.

So the first step is to really identify the triggers that trigger the habitual anxiety reactions of your particular agoraphobia. So you can write those down. Identify those triggers. And then we go about constructing a series of challenges.

Exposure challenges. This is a very important part of the recovery process. You cannot hope to recover from anxiety if you seek to avoid the anxiety you must face in society and help it change. But it’s not sufficient to simply try and struggle through the anxiety. It’s not about that. It’s not about developing willpower. It’s about finding that anxiety and healing it. This is the main focus of Mindfulness Therapy.

So please contact me if you are genuinely interested in breaking free from your agoraphobia.

Agoraphobia Help Online via Skype

Agoraphobia Help from Home – Online Mindfulness Therapy

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy, which I teach online over Skype.

I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy for anxiety disorders but I also treat depression and PTSD and many other emotional conditions that respond well to Mindfulness Therapy.

In particular, I offer online therapy for people suffering from agoraphobia. So if you’re interested in online therapy for your agoraphobia from home then please email me and ask any questions you may have about this service and I’ll be happy to explain to you how I can help you overcome your agoraphobia using Mindfulness Therapy.

This approach is very effective indeed, especially for anxiety disorders. Basically what we will do during these sessions is we will learn how to work with your anxiety in a very practical and very focused and very strategic way. That’s what makes the difference.

So this begins by establishing a routine of exposure challenges. So these are challenges that you can determine for yourself that you want to use to train yourself out of the anxiety habit, if you like. You want to find a whole range of challenges that you can go through one by one and develop more and more confidence and learn how to defuse that anxiety. So that might be as simple as walking to the end of your driveway. Or it could be going into a mall or some challenge like that.

Now the important thing with exposure challenges like this is that you prepare for them well, that you prepare ahead of time. It is not sufficient to just throw yourself into the challenge and hope that you will survive and overcome your anxiety. The chances are you will simply re-traumatize yourself and make that anxiety worse.

But if you train for it well, then the exposure challenges can become very effective indeed. So I call this mindfulness-based exposure therapy.

So if you are going to the mall for example, you would sit down and meditate on that scenario. You would play it through in the mind like a movie, watching yourself going to the mall, with all of the particular triggers that are there, and then you look for any anxiety that gets triggered as you play through this scene.

When you find the anxiety you then consciously build a mindfulness-based relationship with that anxiety. And this is based on compassion and friendliness, and really, learning how to comfort that anxiety as if it was like a small child that’s coming to you for comfort after being scared by something.

So we need to learn to approach our emotions in the same way. We need to see them as being visitors, if you like, that get triggered in the mind that really need our help to help them resolve their anxiety.

Technically speaking, you are not anxious; it’s the emotion itself that is anxious. so we learn to see it this way. We built this mindfulness-based relationship with the emotion and we help it basically heal so it can overcome its own anxiety.

Then we can rehearse them further with those triggers and we can imagine being in the mall and not feel any anxiety, because the anxiety has resolved itself. We have given it what it needs to resolve itself by being a friend to the anxiety, if that makes any sense.

So we do this in a very detailed strategic way before we do the challenge. Then we do the challenge and then after the challenge we might do another meditation where we replay the scene again, which will now be fresh and we’ll be even more contextualized, and we look for any anxiety that got triggered and we work with that in the same way.

So in this way we we progressively train the anxiety to resolve itself over and over again until basically it doesn’t arise. So this is what we mean by a strategic approach. And if you do this in this kind of strategic way you will see results in a very short time. And most people see quite significant improvements after the first three to four sessions of this mindfulness-based exposure therapy.

So if you would like to learn more, please go to my website and then contact me by email to schedule a Skype therapy session in which I will go through this process in great detail and help you learn how to build an exposure challenge routine and how to meditate on your anxiety yourself so that you can do this via self between sessions. So if you would like to learn more please email me.

Online Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy for Recovery from Agoraphobia without using medications

See a Therapist Online using Skype for highly effective online help and treatment for overcoming Chronic Agoraphobia, Chronic Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Anxiety Disorder.

If you want to recover fully from agoraphobia you must treat the underlying conditioned anxiety reactions.

Medications don’t do this. Medications only provide a tempry relief from anxiety symptoms, but do very little to change the underlying psychological cause of your anxiety.

During Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy (Mindfulness Therapy) we work on healing these habitual reactions directly at the psychological level. This approach is extremely effective and most of my clients see significant improvements after 3-4 Skype sessions.

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

Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia

One of the most effective ways of overcoming the intense anxiety reactions of agoraphobia is through training in Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia.

Effective strategies for the management of agoraphobia will involve some form of Exposure Therapy, but what make Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy particularly effective is that it involves training with the anxiety reactions before you do your exposure challenges.

Repeated exposures by themselves is not likely to have much beneficial effect, but if you train yourself to neutralize your anxiety reactions before each challenge then the results from each challenge will be very much better.

The method used to neutralize your anxiety reactions is called Focused Mindfulness Meditation, where you deliberately play through the challenge in your mind in order to access the anxiety and then neutralize that anxiety through changing your relationship to the anxiety through the techniques of Mindfulness Therapy that I will be teaching you during our sessions together.

Contact me to discover more about this online counseling service and schedule an online therapy session with me. Inquiries welcome!

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

“I have found though that, no matter what life happens to throw at you, mindfulness practice creates a virtuous loop of compassion, wisdom and self-esteem as opposed to a viscous circle of emotional reactivity and its implications. I have recently completed reading Peter’s book and it’s a very helpful and practical guide to understanding and deepening mindfulness practice that I would highly recommend.”

Online Help for Agoraphobia via Skype

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist specializing in online therapy. I offer online therapy for agoraphobia.

So, agoraphobia online therapy is very effective for people who really can’t get out of the house to work with a therapist in their local area.

So, during these sessions that I offer via Skype, I focus on teaching you very effective mindfulness-based methods of working with your anxiety and panic attacks.

The real important thing to understand here is that Agoraphobia is really a psychological habit. I prefer to call it a habit rather than a disorder because when you start labeling these psychological states as disorders that tends to reinforce your sense of helplessness as a victim, and we don’t want to do that.

We do this in a surprising way. We actually learn to make friends with our fear. This is very, very important. You can’t change the belief when it has a very strong emotional charge based on fear. No amount of rational arguments or persuasion that you don’t need to feel this way is going to change that anxiety. You have to learn to work with the anxiety directly. And that’s what you do during mindfulness therapy. We actually learn to meditate on your own fear as you imagine walking or traveling out of your safe zone.

So, we set up a series of challenges, exposures, if you like, where you choose to do a particularly difficult exercise but one that you can manage. But then we prepare for this by playing it through in the mind it might be walking around the block or just simply leaving the house for a few minutes, whatever it might be. We design a challenge and then we prepare for it by meditating on it. We play it through in the mind and then we look for the fear reactions and we look for the thought reactions that feed that fear and then we develop a mindfulness-based relationship with these emotions and thoughts, and that relationship is based on friendliness.

You learn, essentially, to sit with your emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, without losing your balance. This is central. This is a central part of mindfulness training, that you can be with your thoughts and emotions but not be overwhelmed by them. When you can do this, then you start to break free from the reactive habits that feed our anxiety and fear.

So, we learn to sit with our emotions without becoming reactive and without identifying with those emotions. We learn to develop this other side of our identity, which we call the True Self, the Observer Mind, that which can be conscious of thoughts and emotions but is not identified with thoughts or emotions.

We then work with those emotions and begin to treat them very much as you might treat a child that’s afraid. we learn to comfort the emotion itself, the fear. you build a strong relationship with it, rather like a parent to a child. And in this way the fear reaction, that we might call the Little Self is able to let go of its fear by proximity to your True Self which is fearless nature.

So, in this way we begin to build resolution pathways in the brain. You learn, basically, how to help the emotions resolve themselves, so that if they get triggered they simply resolve instantly, on the spot, through the training that you’ve done before you do the challenge And then you go out and walk around the block or whatever and put this training into action.

So, we repeat this process over and over again. Meditation before challenge and we do the challenge and we may come back and meditate some more and then we repeat the challenge until we no longer feel any fear in doing that challenge. Then we move on to a harder challenge. And in this way we gain more and more confidence in the process.

So, when you are able to neutralize these emotional reactions then the beliefs begin to change quite automatically. We don’t need to try and change our beliefs. We simply need to change the emotional content that fuels those beliefs and makes them so powerful.

How to overcome agoraphobia without medication – Online Mindfulness Therapy for Agoraphobia

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 am a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression and addictions and many other emotional problems that respond well to mindfulness therapy. One particular anxiety disorder that I work with a great deal is agoraphobia. So if you’re interested in overcoming agoraphobia without the use of medications but through learning the strategic methods of mindfulness training and therapy then do please contact me and tell me more about your condition and I will be happy to answer any questions you have.

When you feel ready you can schedule a Skype Therapy session with me and I will teach you how to overcome agoraphobia without medications.

So what triggers anxiety in agoraphobia? Well is generally triggered by thoughts and beliefs and anticipation and rumination whereby you get trapped in cycles of fear-based thinking.

What will happen if I have a panic attack away from home? How will I get home? The fear of being trapped, the fear of not being able to get back to a secure zone, basically.

We do this by meditating on those thoughts. We make every effort not to avoid those thoughts.

So this is where we will expose ourselves to a particular situation that would tend to generate those reactive anxiety-producing thoughts.
And with the mindfulness-based exposure therapy that I’ve been describing, you can expect to see really effective progress within a few sessions. Usually after the first three or four weeks of applying the mindfulness techniques that I will teach you, you will notice significant reduction in anxiety and the ability to now start extending your range out of that prison.

So if you’d like to learn more about how to overcome the agoraphobia without using medication, then please email me and let’s schedule a Skype Therapy session.

Online Psychotherapist for help with Agoraphobia via Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy which I offer online via Skype for treating anxiety disorders including agoraphobia.
So I’m often asked if there is a cure for agoraphobia. Can agoraphobia be cured? And the answer is yes it can, as long as you take a very strategic and disciplined approach to overcoming the underlying anxiety of agoraphobia.

The biggest problem that I encounter is that people tend to get into patterns of avoidance. They tend to try to avoid any triggers that might create anxiety. But you have to understand that avoidance itself is a form of anxiety-based reaction and that simply feeds the underlying anxiety. So taking a disciplined approach that’s against avoidance is very important. You must not avoid your anxiety. You will not help it heal or change if you do.

So we have to learn to work with our anxiety, but in a very skillful and effective way and that’s where Mindfulness Therapy comes in. It’s a very effective way of working with anxiety and reducing and eliminating anxiety so that you can restore your freedom to move that you had before the onset of your agoraphobia.

So the methods that I teach are basically mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia. So this is where we set up series of challenges, progressive challenges of increasing difficulty that you work through in a very strategic and focused way using mindfulness. And I will teach you how to work with your anxiety using mindfulness during these online therapy sessions.

If you take this very strategic mindfulness-based approach to exposure therapy you’ll see results very quickly and most of my clients see dramatic changes within a matter of weeks once you start applying these techniques yourself, that is what is most important.

I will teach you in great detail exactly how to do this. I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety. I will teach you how to set up a schedule of exposure challenges. I will teach you how to meditate and train with your anxiety. That’s what we do during these sessions.

So if you would like to learn more about this approach for overcoming your anxiety and curing your agoraphobia, then please contact me and we can schedule some Skype therapy sessions. So please contact me now.

Agoraphobia Therapy Online by Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I provide online therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety disorders, including agoraphobia.

So if you’re interested in online psychotherapy for agoraphobia, then I invite you to learn more by visiting my website and then simply e-mail me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about online therapy and this approach that I specialize in for treating agoraphobia, without the use of medications. I’m happy to answer any questions you have, and if you feel comfortable with this approach, then we can schedule a Skype therapy session and you can evaluate for yourself if this is the right approach for you. It certainly is for the majority of people that I’ve worked with over the last 10 or so years.

I see a lot of people who suffer from agoraphobia, not surprisingly, since it’s very difficult to leave the security of home when you’re suffering from agoraphobia.

So the approach that I have developed over the years is called mindfulness therapy and specifically mindfulness-based exposure therapy. So you know already that you need to face your anxiety, you need some form of exposure therapy plan and protocol; that’s going to be an essential part of your recovery process. But it’s how you go about that that makes all the difference.

So I do not advocate straightforward exposure therapy in its usual form, which simply means exposing yourself incrementally to your challenges until you develop more comfort with them through familiarization. I think that is a rather ineffective and crude approach to exposure therapy.

It Is much, much more effective when you do a lot of detailed preparation and training before you do each of your exposure challenges, whatever that might be.

So many people that I’ve worked with suffering from agoraphobia feel very uncomfortable in public places where there are lots of other people around. The real underlying fear for most people with agoraphobia is the sense of being out of your comfort zone and worrying about having a panic attack in that environment and not feeling that you have an escape route. You feel trapped in that environment. That’s very common.

There are many different types of agoraphobia. A lot of people just feel very uncomfortable driving, for example. They can leave their house, but they just cannot drive on a busy road. That’s a different quality of agoraphobia. But it’s basically any situation where you feel trapped.

So in the mindfulness-based exposure therapy approach we identify all of our challenges, all of our triggers. That’s the first step. It’s very good to write those down, make a list of your triggers. And then we set up a strategy of exposure challenges each day. And we make sure that we stick to that strategy.

We do not skip the practical challenges because avoidance, of course, is one of the big problems with agoraphobia, and the more that you avoid anxiety-producing situations, the more you’re likely to reinforce that anxiety. I also don’t recommend medications, because, really, medications are simply another form of avoidance. They’re not really equipping you with new ways of working with your anxiety that resolve that anxiety; it is just covering up the symptoms. And that’s not really an effective treatment.

The only effective treatment is to strategically and intelligently design an exposure protocol that you follow through, religiously. So how do we go about doing this in the Mindfulness-based exposure approach?

Well, we choose one of those challenges that we’re going to work on. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is, something that you feel is a good challenge, not too stressful, but sufficient that it creates anxiety.

We then prepare for that challenge by learning how to apply mindfulness to work with that anxiety.

This approach is very effective and most people see very big changes within quite a short period of time. This is quite different than the classical talk therapy or counseling. It’s actually working at the deep process level that creates your anxiety. It works at the psychological level directly. That’s the important thing.

So please contact me if you are struggling with agoraphobia and you are committed to overcoming your agoraphobia.

Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy for Agoraphobia
Working with Inner Imagery – The secret to healing Agoraphobia

Internally, every emotion is structured around imagery – inner pictorial representations that resonate with the emotion. For example, anger is usually associate with the color red and anger is structured around imagery that is red in color and probably hot as well.
We can learn about the structure of our inner imagery by observing our emotions with mindfulness. From what we learn, we can intuitively see what changes in the imagery might be helpful. Change the imagery and you change the structure of the emotion.
People with agoraphobia typically have a great deal of inner imagery, very often based on the feeling of emptiness, an inner void or black hole that threatens to swallow up everything.

Being able to see each other means that the sessions will be much more effective in helping you learn how to work with your anxiety. So that’s the primary focus of these teletherapy sessions. I will teach you very practical mindfulness-based methods that I have developed and found to be very effective for overcoming anxiety and panic attacks and basically allowing you to recover from the very debilitating effects of agoraphobia.

The primary method that I will teach you during the online sessions is called mindfulness-based exposure therapy. And this is where we design a series of exposures that might be quite simple to begin with and then progressively more difficult that you then practice yourself at home between sessions.

The mindfulness part of this practice is preparing before you do each challenge. So if it’s, for example, walking to a local shop or going into a mall or even driving your car for a short period, then you basically, will run through that challenge in your imagination, you’ll visualize doing that challenge and specifically look for any anxiety reactions that may occur. When you find those anxiety reactions you then start to work with them using the methods of Mindfulness Therapy, which I will teach you during these sessions.

But primarily the idea here is that you train yourself to heal those anxiety reactions before you do the exposure challenge. That’s the important principle here. You have to train with that anxiety to neutralize it before you do the challenge. When you’ve done that, when you’ve neutralized that anxiety reaction so you can imagine doing that challenge without feeling any anxiety, then when you do the exposure challenge that will reinforce this new perception, this new way of processing the particular triggers that are associated with that challenge.

So, for example, one person that I worked with for a few months was not able to leave the house at all. She could not leave the front door, the thought of that was completely overwhelming. The anxiety was totally preventing her stepping outside the front door.

So the mindfulness-based exposure therapy is about having her imagine her stepping out side the front door, whether it’s one or two feet, it doesn’t matter. But we designed that challenge. We then imagine doing it. We look for that anxiety and then we start to develop a mindful relationship with that anxiety that is based on compassion and is based on a very strong non-reactive relationship with the emotion itself.

So the real problem is that when anxiety gets triggered it, it tends to proliferate. It triggers more anxiety through reactive thoughts and that simply feeds the anxiety and it stops it from healing. But when you can sit with that anxiety and not react, then you’re not feeding that anxiety and it begins to diminish in intensity. The more that you can sit with it without reacting the less intense it becomes.

And when you’ve done this in a very focused way, by actually deliberately bringing your mindful attention to that anxiety, that rate of neutralizing the anxiety greatly increases. So this is what we do before we do the challenge. We work with the anxiety, learning to be with it without reacting and learning to relate to that anxiety with compassion. That is, how can you help that anxiety feel more comfortable? You learn how to comfort the emotion in the same way that you might comfort a child, for example, that was afraid. How would you do that? You would establish a conscious, non-reactive relationship with the child. This is what we need to do internally. We need to establish this quality of non-reactive, compassionate relationship with our anxiety.

That is what will allow that anxiety to heal much more than any other methods and certainly more than trying to struggle through the anxiety. That approach tends to reinforce the anxiety yet again because it’s providing evidence of how difficult it is to step outside the front door.

We want to be able to imagine stepping outside the front door with no anxiety at all. Then once you do that, it now establishes a new experience that becomes learned and well established in the mind and in the brain as a new learned pathway, that stepping outside the front door is no longer a source of anxiety.

And then you would move on to the next challenge, which might be walking to the street. And so on. So we work in is very focused and strategic way. This is what is called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy and it’s very, very effective. It’s much more effective than traditional exposure therapy. It’s completely different than talk therapy in the conventional sense. Trying to understand your anxiety and trying to convince yourself that you don’t need to experience the anxiety, that it’s irrational. That kind of approach, in my experience, is practically totally ineffective.

What does work is when you gain the actual experience. First in the mind through imaginational exposure, if you like, and then in the actual exposure, afterwards. That experience is what produces the changes.

So if you’d like to learn more about teletherapy for agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders using Skype, then do please look at my website and contact me if you have any questions.
We can schedule a Skype therapy session and you can see for yourself how this works. Most people see quite substantial improvements after the first two or three sessions once you start learning and applying the mindfulness approach that I that I will teach you. It’s very, very effective. So please contact me if you would like to learn how to overcome your anxiety and apply this kind of methodology. Thank you.

“Before my sessions with Dr Peter Strong, I suffered from depression. No matter what I tried, I got nowhere. It was like running around in a circle, I felt trapped.
In the first session, I found out my main problem; resisting and avoiding emotions. A few sessions later, I clearly noticed the difference in me. By mindfully accepting negative feelings, they are released and eventually replaced by positive ones.
I am a happier person now and have achieved much more in life. Enjoying life to the fullest! Thank you Peter…”

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I’m a professional psychotherapist and I offer online therapy. If you would like to see a therapist online for help with agoraphobia, then please do go to my website and learn more about this online therapy service.

Many people come to me for help with agoraphobia and of course being able to see a therapist online is extremely valuable. If you’re suffering from agoraphobia and you’re experiencing the anxiety of leaving home of traveling to see a therapist in their office that’s the major problem that we have to overcome. Of course with agoraphobia we have to learn how to address these anxiety reactions that you’re having and if you can’t leave home then that becomes very difficult. So the online therapy option is a very good choice if you are suffering from severe anxiety and agoraphobia.

So the approach that I use for helping people overcome agoraphobia is called Mindfulness Therapy and it is a very effective approach, one that I have developed over the years and refined, and from my experience it’s probably the best approach out there for helping you overcome those anxiety reactions so that you can leave home and go into previously difficult situations and difficult spaces that would have caused great anxiety in the past.

Our mission here is to learn how to change those habitual anxiety reactions and mindfulness therapy is extremely good at doing this. It has some similarities to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but it’s much more focused on working at the level of the anxiety itself. Mindfulness Therapy works more with emotions than thoughts because we see thoughts as being really the products of the underlying emotions rather than the other way round. So a common theme in Mindfulness Therapy is that we understand that thoughts do not cause anxiety but anxiety certainly causes a lot of thoughts that feed that anxiety.

So we have to work with the underlying anxiety directly. You can’t do that just by trying to change the thoughts. Those are simply the byproducts of that anxiety.

So we do this by first of all designing a well-constructed schedule of exposure challenges. That is a necessary part of the recovery process. You design a series of challenges. It doesn’t matter how small they are. The point is to do them well and to neutralize any anxiety reactions associated with that particular challenge. Then you progress to a more difficult challenge and you work with that in the same way using the various mindfulness techniques that I will teach you until you can do that challenge without any anxiety reactions at all and then he moved to another challenge and you move up a series of challenges progressing in difficulty until you can completely overcome all anxiety.

So if you’d like to learn more about this approach and you’d like to schedule some Skype therapy sessions with me to work on your agoraphobia, or other form of anxiety, then do please contact me and we can get started.

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.

You learn, essentially, to sit with your emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed by them, without losing your balance. This is central. This is a central part of mindfulness training, that you can be with your thoughts and emotions but not be overwhelmed by them. When you can do dance then you start to break the habits that get reinforced by re-traumatizing, essentially, that fear.

The best agoraphobia treatment without medication

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.

So if you’d like to learn more need to get started with me to overcome your agoraphobia using mindfulness then please email me.

Online Treatment for Agoraphobia without using drugs

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I’m a professional psychotherapist and I offer mindfulness based online therapy for agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks. The mindfulness approach is extremely effective and during online therapy sessions I will teach you how to work with your agoraphobic anxiety using the techniques of mindfulness to help you prevent your becoming overwhelmed by the anxiety reactions.

We do this by actually meditating on our anxiety before we do any challenges. Meditating helps to change the relationship that you have with your anxiety and this is absolutely essential, because the biggest problem that I encounter is that people suffering from anxiety tend to become identified with their emotions. They tend to become consumed by their emotions. They effectively lose their identity and become the emotions and this creates a very reactive place that is very difficult to escape from. So with mindfulness training you can change this pattern and learn to develop a relationship with your anxiety whereby you do not become identified with it where you can see the anxiety as an observer.

This is essential for change. Once you begin to do this the rate of recovery from agoraphobic anxiety and panic attacks increases dramatically, and most people will see quite substantial changes after only four or five sessions with me once they start applying the mindfulness-based techniques.

And then after the completion of a challenge you might meditate again on any fresh anxiety that arose during that challenge. And again help process that reactivity so you can neutralize it.

Then you can repeat the challenge again and each time the training gets stronger and stronger and stronger.

Skype-based TeleTherapy for Agoraphobia and Panic Attacks

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional licensed psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy. This is a system of psychotherapy that works very well by Skype and it’s extremely effective for the treatment of agoraphobia. People suffering from agoraphobia find it very important to work online because it’s so difficult to leave the comfort of your home or secure place. This is the biggest feature of agoraphobia, this fear of having a panic attack if you leave a secure comfort zone, and it can become progressively worse over time. Many people I’ve worked with have had agoraphobia for sometimes as much as 10 years.

Agoraphobia is very debilitating and limits just about every aspect of a person’s life. So it’s very important to seek treatment. Mindfulness Therapy is a very good way of working with anxiety in general. It helps you change the underlying patterns of habitual conditioned reactions that feed and sustain your anxiety and panic attacks.

Panic attacks are simply a very acute form of anxiety. It’s like a storm, an anxiety storm.

The best strategy, the best approach, to overcoming agoraphobia is a very systematic system of exposure therapy. But not classical exposure therapy, which is based on the idea of becoming familiar and habituated through repeated exposure to the stressful situation or area or other triggers. That can work but often it’s very inefficient because it simply re-traumatizes you, it simply feeds that anxiety.

So what I have developed is called Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy. And this is a different approach. It certainly will involve exposure challenges in a systematic approach where you will set yourself goals each day and carry those out. But the key ingredient with mindfulness-based exposure therapy is the preparation and training before and after each challenge. That is what is vital and I feel is often missing in traditional, conventional exposure therapy.

So what do we do in mindfulness-based exposure therapy for agoraphobia? Well you set up a series of challenges. You then do what we call a rehearsal meditation before you do your first challenge. This is where you will play through that challenge in your imagination and specifically look for those triggers and the anxiety reactions that get triggered.

When you find the anxiety you then work with that and train with that anxiety using mindfulness. You build a relationship with that anxiety that’s based on openness and friendliness. These are the two vital requirements for healing anxiety.

Very often people fall into reactive patterns of avoidance and self-criticism or hatred towards that anxiety, and that will not help the healing process. In fact, avoidance and aversion are the two main factors that feed the underlying fear.

So we build a different kind of relationship based on consciousness and compassion for the emotion itself. We learn to see the emotion as being an object in our awareness. We start to break the habit of reactive identification, where we become completely consumed by that anxiety, where we take on the identity of our emotions. Instead we learn to develop a conscious observing relationship where we observe our emotions but we don’t become them. This process is very, very important because if you identify with your anxiety, then you end up feeding it. It is another reactive process like avoidance and aversion that simply feeds the fire of anxiety.

So if you would like to get started with me and you would like to do online psychotherapy for your own agoraphobia and panic attacks and you’d like to schedule some Skype therapy sessions and please go to my website and send me an email.

This approach, the mindfulness-based exposure therapy approach is very efficient and typically people see progress, tremendous progress, within the first three to four sessions. It’s quite different than conventional talk therapy. It’s much more practical. And of course it gives you a set of tools that you can apply yourself between the session, because that’s where the real change happens as you gain more and more experience of applying mindfulness with your exposure challenges. So if you would like to get started with me please contact.

So Mindfulness Therapy, which is what I specialize in and have developed specifically for treating agoraphobia and other anxiety disorders, is extremely effective. It works in a very strategic and focused way on helping you resolve the fear reactions, the anxiety and panic attacks, that are a feature of agoraphobia.

So the primary approach that I will be teaching you is called Mindfulness-based. Exposure Therapy. So all forms of successful psychotherapy for treating agoraphobia will employ some form of exposure therapy. Clearly that is a necessary component to help you extend the range of confidence that you have, to be able to move into areas that were previously very difficult for you, to move into different social situations and to leave your comfort zone and develop a much broader level of comfort. This is a necessary approach.

So we work by extending the boundaries of our comfort zone and we do this by developing a systematic approach, that is, that you will design a series of challenges to go to your comfort zone and move a little bit beyond that comfort zone on a daily basis.

But the important thing here that I teach in the mindfulness-based approach to exposure therapy is preparing before you do each challenge. I feel this is what is often missing. Simply throwing yourself into difficult and anxiety producing situations is not very efficient and probably not very effective for most people. You have to train yourself out of the habitual anxiety reactions before you do each of the challenges and that’s the focus of mindfulness therapy and the mindfulness-based exposure therapy.

So you set up a series of challenges and then we do the training. So the training is about meditating on each of those challenges. You start off by playing the challenge through in your mind in order to find those anxiety reactions. You want to get access to them under your terms so that you can work with them consciously rather than trying to struggle with them in the heat of the moment during the challenge.

So we have to work with the underlying anxiety directly. You can’t do that just by trying to change the thoughts. Those are simply the byproducts of that anxiety.
