# Online Mindfulness Therapy to treat Anxiety

Online Mindfulness Therapy is extremely effective for controlling anxiety and depression without using drugs. It is always better to treat the cause of your emotional suffering as opposed to just trying to manage symptoms.

This style of therapy that works best should teach you practical methods that you can use yourself to work with your mind. These are methods that are based on years of experience and have been found to be extremely effective for treating anxiety and depression and other forms of emotional suffering.

So all emotional suffering is basically based on patterns of reactive conditioned habits. Anxiety is not a disorder it's a habit. Depression is not a disorder it's a habit. These are habits that we learn. We are not born with anxiety or depression. These are habits that we acquire usually through the experience of emotional trauma and other forms of emotional suffering that we are unable to resolve at the time, so that they become stuck and then they form reactive habits.

But really the problem is simply the habits themselves and we need to focus on changing these habits and this is what we do during online Mindfulness Therapy. We change the underlying psychological habits that create your anxiety or depression.

If you try to avoid it, it will not heal and will simply grow. If you try to reject it or suppress it or distract yourself away from your unpleasant feelings then that will reinforce the underlying habits and the emotional suffering doesn't heal.

So medications may have some value and providing a temporary relief from symptoms but medications are not going to change those underlying psychological habits. And often talking about your emotions is really not getting to the heart of the emotions themselves and working on this reactive habit.

Mindfulness Therapy is very effective because it does this and it does it in a very focused and very practical way.
