THE LINDEN METHOD REVIEWED J.J.Brennan

The Linden Method for Anxiety, Panic Attacks, OCD, Agoraphobia & PTSD

In August 2008, I visited The Linden Center and interviewed staff and the man himself, Charles Linden to discover the truth behind the claims. This is the resultant review of my findings.

What is The Linden Method?

The Linden Method is a drug free, simple and permanent program of recovery developed by Charles Linden, a leading anxiety expert, broadcaster and author. The Linden Method has been used by in excess of 100,000 clients around the world. The Linden Method UK receives referrals from psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors from around the world.

Who developed The Linden Method?

Charles Linden suffered with anxiety disorders throughout childhood and into early adulthood which developed into full blown panic disorder with agoraphobia and OCD in early adulthood. Charles developed The Linden Method over a decade ago to overcome his own disorder. Charles Linden has his own TV series, a number of DVD titles on general release and has a best selling book 'Stress Free in 30 Days'. Charles is widely regarded as an international anxiety expert and is a contributor to TV, Radio, newspapers and magazines, in some of which he has his own column.

What conditions can be treated using The Linden Method?

Any anxiety conditions can be treated using The Linden Method including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and post traumatic stress disorder. Clients also report improvements and recovery from stress and depression related conditions.

How does The Linden Method work?

In the early 1900s two men pioneered research into the true nature of emotion and it's relationship to the physical body, symptoms and illness and came up with a number of definitive conclusions. Those men were Carl Lange and William James.

The most important conclusion they came to forms the foundation for our understanding of how emotions are created, and what impact thought can have on our bodies and health.

Their research concluded that an external catalyst, say a wild bear, is detected by your sensory organs and the body reacts with physical changes WITHOUT any conscious thought or emotions; in other words, the emotion of anxiety we experience during the anxiety response is physical and not emotional.

To demonstrate what I mean by this, next time you feel anxious, strip away all of the physical sensations you experience and you will find that nothing is left… the physical sensations ARE your experience of emotion!

The Linden Method was discovered by Linden as the result of months of tireless research with ex anxiety sufferers. Linden plotted their stories and then drew conclusions from the similarities. Then, these techniques were developed into a program of recovery. After, testing, adjusting and re-testing, Linden devised and structured the Linden Method program. The Linden Method program works on the principal that anxiety disorders can be eliminated by being reprogrammed very simply using the techniques developed by Charles Linden; these principals form the core of The Linden Method and have a strong scientific basis. The Linden Method is a structured program of recovery which works by addressing the root cause of anxiety in the area of the brain responsible for the anxiety response. Trials have concluded that The Linden Method has a 96% success rate amongst complying clients.

How long does it take for The Linden Method to work?

Reports of immediate anxiety relief are plentiful. On investigation I was given access to many hundreds of testimonials from clients who experienced anxiety elimination in a few days to a few weeks and many who had experienced total recovery.

Where can you join The Linden Method?

If you are interested in reading more, go to www.stopworry.com and click on your local flag. There is an interesting information pack available on all the sites if you need more structured information. You can also call any of the international numbers. I have tested all links and the call lines, which all go to the centers.

Conclusions

Having seen first hand, the testimonials from many thousands of clients and having spoken to the Linden support staff in their offices; having spoken to over 30 ex clients and listened to a number of support calls whilst in the center, I can only conclude that The Linden Method, The Linden Center, The Linden Method specialists and the business and service they offer are 100% above board, trustworthy and effective. The Linden center are now working closely with the NHS on pilot schemes and have recently completed trials with NHS clients – something which I have never come across before within the National Health Service.

I talked to Charles Linden at length about The Linden Method and believe this man to be honest and passionate about his work. I also spoke to Beth Linden and met their children. Charles Linden does not have letters after his name but his knowledge is quite awe inspiring and inspirational, many mental healthcare professionals could learn a lot from him.

My belief is that the claims made about The Linden Method on their website are true and having observed work at the center, the money back guarantee is watertight. The business is sound, has been running for over a decade and the staff are all employed.

Lifewise Publishing is an LLC and all Linden Method support staff are police checked, psychologist or counseling qualified and nice folks!

I believe The Linden Method and Linden Centers to be very professional and honest about their services and achievements.
