Online Counseling & Mindfulness Therapy For Anxiety & Depression

Online Psychotherapy, e-counseling and internet-therapy are becoming very popular. It is convenient, affordable and proven effective. The focus is on giving you the tools to better manage your depression, anxiety, stress and other difficult emotions.

Mindfulness Therapy is one of the most promising approaches for helping you learn how to work on making changes at the core level; quite different that just talking about your problems, which is not very efficient for resolving persistent emotional reactions. If you feel stuck, Mindfulness Therapy helps you get unstuck; if you feel overly worried and anxious, Mindfulness Therapy helps you find inner balance; if you feel over-stressed, Mindfulness Therapy helps you neutralize your habitual stress reactions; if you suffer from depression, Mindfulness Therapy helps you neutralize the negative self-talk and thinking. Above all, Mindfulness Therapy produces an inner healing space, the space of mindful awareness that allows emotions to unfold, unwind and become malleable again. Mindfulness allows emotional suffering to change, transform and resolve.

There are many books written on the healing effect of mindfulness, including my own book on the subject called The Path of Mindfulness Meditation, which is based on years of investigation and working with clients. Other authors who have written on the subject of the therapeutic application of mindfulness include Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn, who developed a phenomenally successful treatment program called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) at the Stress Reduction Clinic of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Later this led to the development of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in collaboration with Dr Williams and others at the University of Oxford. The power of mindfulness as a tool for facilitating emotional healing is gaining a great deal of respect and popularity. This would undoubtedly cause the Buddha to smile, as he more than any other person in history taught about the application of mindfulness for cultivating wholesome action and for freeing the mind from the suffering that we create through our patterns of blind habitual reactivity.

The  particular form of mindfulness therapy that I developed several years ago and write about in The Path of Mindfulness Meditation focuses mindful awareness directly on the problematic emotions and effectively creates a therapeutic space around the emotion that has an immensely transformative effect. In effect, you make the emotion the primary object of a session of meditation. This is why it is called Mindfulness Meditation Therapy (MMT).

We all know how reactivity simply makes things worse and only serves to reinforce our suffering, along with those around us. Well mindfulness is the antidote: It stops the proliferation of reactivity and then creates this inner healing space in which the emotional energy that has become stuck can become fluid again, leading to beneficial change and healing. Some clients have described this healing process as being like shining rays of sunlight onto a block of ice. The ice (frozen emotional energy) simply melts and the water becomes fluid again and becomes available to nourish the earth (your psyche). It is a lovely image, and describes the healing effect of creating inner freedom through mindfulness.
