Online Mindfulness Therapy for Insomnia
To break the cycle of insomnia you need to learn how to manage reactive thinking. It is the proliferation of thoughts - worry, rumination, anger, fear - that is the main problem.
Reactive thinking keeps the mind in a state of constant agitation and inhibits the natural onset of the sleep response.
Online Mindfulness Therapy offers a very effective way of overcoming insomnia by teaching you how to manage reactive thinking and the underlying emotions that fuel reactive thinking.

Online Mindfulness-based Therapy for Insomnia
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional online therapist. I live in Boulder, Colorado and I provide online therapy via Skype. I treat a variety of emotional problems, including general anxiety, depression, stress and also PTSD, and addictions, and also I treat insomnia, sleep anxiety disorder.
The method I use is called Mindfulness Therapy. Mindfulness is a very powerful way of working with reactive thoughts and reactive emotions. It allows you to change your relationship to the racing thoughts and anxiety that may arise and prevent you from sleeping. We change our relationship from one of being reactive and overwhelmed by thinking and emotions to being in a position like an observer, where you are able to see the thoughts, but without becoming reactive to them and without becoming overwhelmed by them.
So, that's basically what Mindfulness Therapy is about - learning how to be present for your thoughts and emotions without becoming identified with them, and this is why Mindfulness Therapy is so effective for insomnia.
So, if you would like to learn more about online therapy for insomnia, please email me and we can set up a Skype Therapy session and you can see how it would work for you. Thank you!
Everyone that I have worked with really enjoys the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"Mindfulness therapy has helped me with my anxiety in a very significant way. No longer am I bound to my anxiety in a continuous circle. I’ve been able to see my anxiety for what it truly is, and it has liberated me. Thank you Peter."
During these sessions of online mindfulness therapy I will teach you how to break free from reactive anxiety-producing thinking, which of course is the main cause of insomnia for most people - you just can't turn off the mind's incessant thinking. Mindfulness therapy is one of the very best systems available for controlling reactive thinking so you can fall asleep. Most people see dramatic improvements in their sleep patterns within 3-3 weeks of practicing the mindfulness techniques that I teach.

Through mindfulness training you will develop new skills that will help you manage the streams of reactive thoughts that is a central cause of insomnia for most people. The key point is to learn to watch these thoughts as an observer but without reacting to them. Reactivity simply increases the level of activation in the mind and this inhibits the natural sleep onset response.
Welcome. My name is Peter Strong and I am a professional psychotherapist and I specialize in mindfulness therapy. I offer online cognitive behavioral therapy using mindfulness for the treatment of insomnia and sleep anxiety disorder.
The mindfulness approach is very effective indeed for helping you manage those streams of reactive thinking that tend to keep the mind in a state of agitation and prevent the natural onset of sleep. When you're working with reactive thinking, worrying and rumination and other patterns of habitual reactive thinking it is very important not to fight those thoughts. If you resist the thoughts they simply get stronger and they tend to return.
The mindfulness approach, this particular form of CBT, is very effective because it teaches you how to change your relationship to these thoughts so that you don't make a problem of them, that you don't get caught in patterns of reacting to your thoughts. But instead you actually develop a conscious and friendly relationship to the stream of thoughts that often arises during the night and can cause insomnia. It is rather like learning to sit beside a river. It's quite a different experience sitting on the bank of the river watching the river than being swept away by the river. And that's the difference. The river is the same. The thoughts are the same and it's not actually the thoughts that's the problem at all. It is the fact that we become identified with our thoughts, and that's the equivalent of falling into the river and being swept away.
Learning to watch your thoughts without becoming identified with them is a central theme in mindfulness therapy and it's a central part of the process of overcoming insomnia.
There are many other mindfulness techniques that I teach during these online therapy sessions that will help you manage the reactive thinking. A very simple techniques that you can try yourself and experiment with is to greet the thoughts in a friendly way, that's central to mindfulness, but then to take those thought and move it and place it on the floor beside you in bed. By changing the position of the thoughts in your mind you can greatly reduce the intensity of the thought and that helps prevent the proliferation of more thoughts. So when you thought arises and the mind simply creates it and then move it and put it down on the floor beside you and repeat this over and over again. It is quite remarkable how effective this simple mindfulness technique can be. If you find such a technique to be valuable for you do please share your experiences in the comments below this video for others to read.

Online CBT via Skype for Anxiety and Depression
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I am a professional online psychotherapist. I live in Boulder, Colorado, and I offer online psychotherapy via Skype wherever you live, at home or abroad. This is a very convenient way of getting the help that you may be needing for managing difficult emotional problems: anxiety, depression, stress, and PTSD, which is one of my particular interests.
The style of therapy that I offer is called Mindfulness Therapy, and this is a form of Cognitive Therapy, that focuses on exploring the particular thought habits that you may have that create emotional stress, whether that's anxiety, depression, anger or stress of any kind. Its most of these thought patterns that we work with operate out of our normal state of awareness; we are really unaware of these thought patterns. And, of course, like anything, it's what you don't see that controls you. So, the first part of any form of Cognitive Therapy or CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, involve trying to develop an awareness of these negative thought habits, patterns of reactive thinking. That is a big step in itself.
But, in Mindfulness Therapy we go a little further than that, and that is we want to look at the underlying emotions themselves, because this unresolved emotional energy is what give fuel to the cognitive reactivity. Without that emotional energy, the thoughts will not persist; they will tend to fade away and be replaced by other thoughts. But, when there is a high emotional charge, then the thought patterns and habits persist and they reoccur and become intrusive thought patterns. So that's where Mindfulness Therapy becomes extremely good. This form of Cognitive Therapy allows you to change the underlying emotions that fuel your negative reactive thinking.
