How to beat intrusive thoughts through Online Mindfulness Therapy via Skype

Welcome! My name is Peter Strong and I provide an online therapy for anxiety and depression and addictions and also for help with obsessive-compulsive disorder and intrusive thoughts. 

So one of the best ways of overcoming intrusive thoughts and beating this problem of intrusive thoughts, and also images too, and memories is to learn how to work with these thoughts using mindfulness. 

So I specialize in Mindfulness Therapy and I find it to be immensely effective for working with difficult intrusive thoughts. 

So the best way to beat intrusive thoughts is not to fight them. If you fight those intrusive thoughts, if you try to get rid of them, that will end up feeding them and you will make them stronger and then they become even more intrusive. 

So the best way to beat intrusive thoughts is to develop a friendly relationship with them. Now I know that may seem difficult because the intrusive thoughts cause so much pain and anxiety but it's only by making friends with those thoughts that you can ever hope to free yourself from intrusive thinking. 

One of the best models, I think, for working with intrusive thoughts is to really examine why do those thoughts or images or memories keep coming back into the mind? Why are they intrusive? 

And from a mindfulness perspective we see this intrusiveness as actually quite positive, in the sense that we recognize that those thoughts, those emotionally charged thoughts or images or memories are essentially trying to heal themselves. But in order to heal, they must have your conscious awareness, your conscious presence. 

You need to have that conscious and friendly relationship with them in order to help them heal and make the changes that they need to make in order to heal.

So we must not under any circumstances avoid intrusive thoughts or memory images. Instead we must learn how to develop a conscious relationship with them, and developing a friendly relationship simply has the effect of increasing the quality of consciousness. This is what those thoughts need to change and heal. 

So we develop a conscious and compassionate relationship with our intrusive thoughts. We then explore helping them heal. And this is technically called the response of compassion, which is a central and integral part of mindfulness. 

We learn how to help them heal, how to help the thought or the emotion heal itself. We see that that thought is not you. It is an object in you, just like a child is not you; it is separate from you but it needs a relationship with you in order to heal. So we relate to our intrusive thoughts as being like objects, or even better being like that child that's coming to us for help. 

You look at is structure. What does it actually need to heal? And one of the primary ways we can help it heal is to examine the emotional imagery of the intrusive thought or image or memory. 

So the emotional part is what keeps it intrusive, it is what causes it to stay in the mind. It's the emotional charge of the thought or memory image that we must heal and change, and that emotional charge is primarily encoded in imagery. 

So how we see the thought in the mind, how we see the memory in the mind, is what actually causes that memory or thought to have this emotional charge. 

So we look at his imagery and then we explore changing that imagery, which we can do once we have a conscious relationship with the thoughts or memory images or other intrusive images. We look at the structure of the imagery and then we work on changing that imagery. 

So this is a natural healing process. This is how emotions change. When the emotion changes then there is nothing to sustain the intrusive thoughts or belief or memory or anything else. 

So it's by working with the imagery in this way that we can help intrusive thoughts heal, and when they heal they are no longer intrusive, they simply fall away like any other thoughts.

So please, if you would like to work on overcoming your intrusive thoughts please do send me an email and let's schedule a trial session. Most people see quite interesting changes even after the very first session and certainly after three or four sessions.
