Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…
"I realized that anxiety disorders and depression were not a disease that I needed to attack. I needed to change the way I reacted to my thoughts and emotions and view life in a different way."
How to Overcome Panic Attacks and Anxiety without taking pills
Panic attack anxiety is a very intense emotional reaction to certain perceived threats. many of these threats, or triggers, are not rational; but that's not the point, because they are VERY real for the victim. Trying to convince someone that they should simply "get it together" and stop thinking negative thoughts is an ineffective approach, because for that person, those thoughts and beliefs ARE real. During Online Therapy for Panic Attacks sessions, we focus on changing the underlying emotions themselves through applied mindfulness.
During Mindfulness Therapy sessions, we take a totally different approach. The focus is on changing our relationship to the anxiety emotion. Instead of denying it or resisting it, we learn how to be present with the emotion, but WITHOUT becoming reactive. This is the first step to making real positive changes.
The second step of effective online therapy for panic attacks and anxiety is to look at the structure of the emotion to see how it works. You will find that what holds the emotion together is some form of inner imagery. If the emotion is intense, as with panic anxiety, then that corresponding imagery will also be intense.
The more we learn about this inner imagery, the more we have to work with, and the rule is: Change the imagery and you change the emotion.
Mindfulness Therapy is a highly effective form of psychotherapy that is gaining more and more popularity for treating Panic Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Social Anxiety. Dr Strong, Founder of the Boulder Center for Mindfulness Therapy has written extensively on the subject and published the groundbreaking book, 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation' available through Amazon.
I provide Online Mindfulness Therapy, which is one of the most effective and successful ways of controlling reactive anxiety and panic attacks. You can learn more by visiting my website and from reading my book, 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation.'
The most important method for overcoming panic attacks and anxiety in general is to learn how to form a stable, non-reactive relationship with your emotions. If you react then you simply feed the panic anxiety, but when you can simply observe the anxiety as an object in your consciousness then you will begin to break free from the emotion and it will begin to lose its strength. This method is remarkably effective when you really understand just how to do this. I will teach you how during these online therapy sessions.

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.

Online Mindfulness Therapist over Skype or Zoom for the treatment of Anxiety & Panic Attacks without depending on anti-anxiety medications
Welcome! My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional online psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness Therapy, which I offer via Skype for the treatment of anxiety, including panic attacks, also other common psychological emotional problems such as depression, OCD, addiction, etc.
So I'm often asked how can I stop anxiety attacks? They are very distressing for people. I'm sure you know this yourself if you're suffering from anxiety attacks. They are quite crippling. They limit you tremendously in what you can do, and the fear of having panic attacks is often so strong that you tend to become more and more isolated and Agoraphobia is a very common endpoint for people who are struggling with chronic panic attacks.
I will teach you how to apply mindfulness to overcome your anxiety and panic attacks during our sessions together. But the principles are fairly straightforward and something that really does produce results.
So the first principle is learning to change our relationship to our emotions and thoughts and other content that make up the mind.
So by changing our relationship to the content of mind, these mental objects, thoughts emotions, etc., what we're doing is learning how to become the observer, our True Self, as I call it. So the True Self is not the thoughts and emotions, it's the conscious awareness of the thoughts and emotions and that is quite different. The basic cause of our suffering is that we lose this objectivity you like and we become identified with the contents of mind we literally lose our perspective as the observer and we become contracted into the very small and limited consciousness of thoughts and emotions and other mental objects. We become the object.
We look at it very carefully. We learn how to meditate on the anxiety. In that way you train yourself out of the habit of becoming consumed by the anxiety. You learn how to remain as the observer. So that's the first part of training in Mindfulness Therapy. We call this developing equanimity and that is the bedrock of mindfulness training and the bedrock of the process that leads to liberation from suffering, like anxiety.
The second step is to explore all of the different parts of the reactive process; all of the thoughts, in particular that feed that anxiety. So we learn to see those in the same way as mental objects. We remain as the observer, or True Self, and the objects are just reduced to being objects. They have no power over you as long as you stay conscious.
The next stage in our mindfulness training is learning how to heal the anxiety by developing a compassionate relationship towards it. So the first training is in developing equanimity towards the anxiety. The second stage is really about developing compassion towards the anxiety, which we see has an object in pain.
So we see the anxiety being like a child and then we simply allow our innate wisdom to become active to produce action that will help heal that inner child. So we work with the anxiety in that way.
One of the principle mechanisms by which anxiety heals is by changing its imagery. So we explore the imagery of our emotions during our mindfulness meditation on our anxiety. We look at the imagery of that anxiety. We look at the position of the emotion. Where do we actually see it? Can we move it to a better position where it feels more at ease, where we can comfort the anxiety?
It is quite surprising the results you can see when you simply take the emotion and move it. This works extremely well in things like performance anxiety or driving anxiety. You take the anxiety and you move it beside you. Put it in the passenger seat or put it on the table beside you or on a chair beside you if you're giving a presentation. Giving it a better position than being stuck in your throat, for example, is very, very productive.
So this is all part of Mindfulness Therapy and is what I will teach you in great detail during our Skype Therapy sessions together. It's very effective and most people who use the mindfulness approach that I teach see dramatic changes within just a few sessions.
