Welcome. My name is Peter Strong, and I am a professional registered
psychotherapist from Boulder, Colorado. Besides seeing clients in person, I
also offer online counseling therapy through Skype. Skype Therapy, as it's
commonly called, is becoming increasingly popular. It's so convenient for
people. It means that you're able to schedule your sessions during your
work day without having to leave home or leave the office. It's very
convenient. With Skype, you're able to see the person as well as talk to
them. It's really no different than being in an office, or in person. It's
the same quality of the one-on-one counseling that you could receive in an
office, but with the added convenience, as I say.
Many people like this format because it is something that allows them to
find the right kind of therapist to work with, someone that they feel
comfortable with. That's extremely important. Good therapy depends on
having the right kind of relationship with your therapist. It has to feel
good for you as the client. Also, I find that Skype Therapy works extremely
well with the form of therapy that I specialize in, which is called
Mindfulness Therapy; which I talk about in my book, 'The Path of
Mindfulness Meditation'.
Mindfulness Therapy has grown tremendously in popularity in the last 5 to
10 years now. Our understanding of what mindfulness is and how to use it to
effectively work with emotions like anxiety, panic attacks, depression,
stress, has grown tremendously. It's really very, very well worth exploring
in detail. What is mindfulness? Basically, it is a form of awareness that
we can define as non-reactive awareness. That means that you're able to
sit, literally sit with your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them,
without becoming reactive. This is absolutely essential for healing to
occur. The only way that your anxiety or panic attacks will eventually
subside is if you can sit with those emotions without feeding them with
your reactivity, particularly of course, reactive thinking, avoidance
behaviors, or any of these other reactivities that tend to become habits.
Mindfulness Therapy is an excellent choice.
