How to Stop Anxiety Attacks through Online Mindfulness Therapy
As a professional psychotherapist I'm often asked how to stop anxiety attacks, how to stop yourself from becoming overwhelmed by anxiety and anxiety producing thoughts. In my experience the most important approach that will help you stop anxiety attacks is to learn how to embrace your thoughts with mindfulness. That means, essentially, developing a conscious and friendly relationship with your anxiety producing thoughts.
So you must not fight them or avoid them. That will simply make them stronger. But once you start developing a friendly relationship to your thoughts, that will take that power away and it will also stop feeding those anxiety thoughts.
If you hold these thoughts in consciousness without reacting to it, long enough, that thought will always burn itself out. So we need to build mindfulness towards his thoughts. You are essentially teaching those thoughts to being themselves calm.
So that's part of causing mindfulness therapy approach that I teach and there are many other aspects to mindfulness therapy that can be used to stop anxiety attacks and panic attacks, but that's the principle, the central most important thing.
Another very common technique that I teach that really helps in this process of breaking free from the power of anxiety thoughts is to use visualization or imagery. We call this mindfulness based imagery reprocessing. So this is where you take the image of the thought and you make it extremely small, perhaps as small as a grain of sand. And then you take that grain of sand and you place it on the ground. If you make it small and you put it at a low level such as on the ground you will take away a great deal of its intensity because the key factor that causes thoughts to have emotional intensity is there size and their position, the imagery of the thought, itself.
So when we look at our thoughts with mindfulness, that brings in an element of choice where we can begin exploring ways of changing the size and the position of our thoughts. And the smaller they become the less intense they become, and if you put them at a lower level that will take away their intensity, as well. So that's a simple technique using mindfulness based imagery reprocess that you can try for yourself.

Online Mindfulness Psychotherapy over Skype for overcoming Anxiety & Panic Attacks without depending on medications
What is the best therapy for panic attacks? I recommend Mindfulness-based Exposure Therapy.
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I provide Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype for the treatment of anxiety and depression and other emotional issues that respond well to mindfulness therapy.
One of the questions I'm often asked is What is the best therapy for panic attacks and severe anxiety in general? I recommend Mindfulness Therapy. It is, in my opinion, the best approach available.
The reason why Mindfulness Therapy is so effective for working with anxiety and panic attacks is because it helps you change the underlying habitual process that causes your anxiety. So medications are not effective in my opinion because they do not address that underlying cause, the psychological habits that create anxiety.
Conventional talk therapy is often not that effective either for the same reason. It doesn't really get to the underlying mechanism that's causing your anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy does.
It's a way of changing the underlying habit that causes your anxiety, and anxiety and panic attacks are habits and all habits can be changed. So how does Mindfulness Therapy work for changing anxiety and healing anxiety?
Well the first thing that we must do is change the way that we relate to our emotions. So most people develop a great deal of fear around their anxiety and panic attacks. So the fear reaction is understandable when you have no other choices, that's going to dominate. But unfortunately, the reaction of fear will simply reinforce the anxiety. So the first thing we must do is develop a different relationship with our emotions that is not fear based. We need to overcome that habitual fear reaction itself.
We do this by learning how to meditate on our anxiety using mindfulness. So this means that we might look at a situation and replay it in the mind in order to get access to the anxiety, but so that we can then work with it and train with it using mindfulness.
So the first step is to be able to relate to the anxiety without reacting to it. The second step is to see that anxiety as being an object in the mind and not identifying with it, because that's in many ways the main problem, besides those reactions of fear to the anxiety. The second main problem is the reaction of identification with the anxiety or the fear. When we identify with it we basically lose power and it becomes overwhelming.
So we need to see the anxiety the same way that we would look at an object. And even better to see the anxiety as being like a child or a visitor that gets triggered and comes to us for help. That's a very good strategy. So see the anxiety as being like a child. It can't heal its own suffering. It has to go to its parents to get the help that it needs to heal. It's very much the same with our emotions. They are helpless in themselves. They're just the product of habit. In order to change, we have to develop a conscious relationship with them just the same as between a parent and a child. We have to see them as a child or as an object in the mind. And then we can be of help because we don't just become overwhelmed through identification or fear.
Another way that we work with our emotions during our meditation on the anxiety is to work with its imagery. This may not be familiar to you, but rest assured after working on this for over ten years now, I can absolutely stand by this: that all emotions are based on imagery.
So how you see the anxiety in the mind is what really causes the anxiety. It's the imagery, and typically the imagery is too big and too close. That's why it is experienced as being overwhelming. It has to be very large to be overwhelming.
When you change the imagery of an emotion you change the emotion. And this is actually a natural process by which emotions operate in the mind, and when they heal they almost always become smaller in size and more distant. This is part of the healing process that happens naturally.
