My name is Peter Strong.
I'm a professional psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness therapy which I offer online
via Skype for the treatment of anxiety disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, using
mindfulness therapy, which is very effective for helping you manage the uncontrollable
habitual thought reactions that characterize OCD.
So working with intrusive thoughts is very important for managing not only OCD but also
other anxiety disorders and depression as well.
This reactive thinking or rumination is what fuels anxiety and depression.
And the problem that most people find is that they become a prisoner of these intrusive
thoughts, that they keep coming back and stimulating and recreating the anxiety or depression.
So managing intrusive thoughts is very important for working with almost all forms of emotional
suffering.
Mindfulness Therapy is a way of training with these thoughts.
So the biggest problem typically is that people avoid intrusive or negative or emotionally
painful thoughts.
When you avoid intrusive thoughts you prevent them changing.
You prevent them healing or resolving.
So avoidance is the first thing that we must overcome.
We must not fall into the trap of avoiding intrusive thoughts or trying to get away from
them or trying to push them away or trying to replace them with positive thoughts.
That may seem like a good idea, but it's just another form of avoidance, and avoidance feeds
the problem of habitual reactive thinking.
So we must stop avoiding and instead we actually learn to develop a conscious relationship
with those disturbing intrusive thoughts based on conscious awareness, based on mindfulness.
I will teach you how to meditate on these disturbing thoughts.
This is the way that leads to resolution that helps end those intrusive thoughts.
Learning to meditate on them means building that conscious and non-reactive relationship
to the thoughts.
That's what's needed to resolve them.
And it's a process whereby we train, essentially train with the thoughts, learning to be non-reactive
and not becoming identified with them.
This is something that is quite easy for you to do as long as you understand clearly what
you're doing and you get a little guidance, and that's what I will teach you during these
online therapy sessions for OCD.
I will teach you how to work with these intrusive thoughts, how to train with them so that you
can overcome this pattern of habitual identification and reactivity that simply feeds the thoughts.
So if you like to learn more about how to work with intrusive thoughts using mindfulness
therapy, and really get into the heart of the problem and changing those underlying
habits, then please do email me and let's schedule a Skype Therapy session.
People see results quite quickly when they start applying this very mindfulness and consciousness
focused approach to working with intrusive thoughts on other aspects of OCD such as intrusive
memories.
That's a very common feature for PTSD.
Working with very emotionally charged and disturbing memories that become intrusive.
We use the same kind of principles in mindfulness therapy.
We do not avoid them.
Instead we learn how to train with them so that we can help those memories resolve naturally
so they no longer become a problem.
So if you like to learn more simply email me and that let's schedule a session.
I see clients via Skype.
I like Skype because it allows you to see each other and that is really important for
psychotherapy, because you need to understand the principles that I will be teaching, and
to
do that you really need to see me and I need to see
you so we can establish a really good level of communication.
If you do that then Skype Therapy is really no different than meeting in person, and for
many people it is a lot better because it's much more comfortable for you, and that's
really important when you're working with difficult emotional problems.
So if you would like to get started please email me.
Ask any questions you might have and tell me what times worked for you and then we can
work on scheduling a Skype Therapy session.
And you should start to see results quite quickly, usually within the first few sessions
you'll really get the sense that this approach of mindfulness therapy is going to work for
you.
So please let's get started.
Let me help you and I'll be happy to help you overcome your problems with OCD or other
anxiety disorders that are characterized by intrusive habitual thoughts.
Thank you.
