Linden Method Review – What is the Linden Method and How Does it Work?

Basically, the program works on the principal that anxiety disorders can be eliminated by being “reprogrammed” using the techniques developed by Charles Linden. These principals (supposedly) have a strong scientific basis.

The system claims to have no basis in CBT or hypnosis whatsoever, but I’ve seen many viewers that say that it is similar to CBT in that he tells you to directly challenge your fears to get rid of the anxiety, basically exposure to the fear.

You are given step by step instructions (they are called “The 9 pillars), along with relaxation tapes and 24 hour support for psychologists trained by Linden’s method (Their head of support and house psychologist is Jenny Brookes).

Another important thing about the product is that you have full money back guarantee for 60 days. Don’t like it? Get a refund, it’s that simple.

But How do I Know if it Really WORKS?

First, here are the conditions that the system can help for:  Panic and anxiety attacks, OCD, PTSD, Child anxiety, Depression, Agoraphobia, DR, Depersonalization, Obsessive thoughts, GAD, Social anxiety.

But, you probably want to know if this system will only repeat stuff you already know, if it will work for you and if it’s worth the cost.

The best way to get a real answer to this question is by looking from real reviews by real users of the method (as opposed to reading the oh-so-many sales pitches).

To save you a few tedious hours of research, I went ahead and found (almost) all the real reviews of the Linden Method you can find online. I picked the good ones, the bad ones and the ones that best describe what you really want to know.

So…here it is and I hope it helps:

The Good Reviews

** “I downloaded the linden method a while back; it gives you a roadmap of steps to implement to free yourself of anxiety. I think it would be beneficial with general anxiety disorder, panic, OCD. Everything is under the same umbrella whereas I feel social anxiety is veryspecific and intricate in its manifestations. It didn’t really do anything to improve my social anxiety but I would
recommend it for general anxiety as there are many good suggestions that can be worked on and are proven to work.” (Source: SocialAnxietySupport Forum)

** “I have just started the Linden Method. The download version is only $87, so it is well worth the try. I have already started on the program and I would like everyone to know that the main reason why people who use the program do not come here and talk about it is because one of the first “pillars” of the program is to not talk about anxiety, not read about it, and basically pretend it does not exist. The goal of the program is to retrain the subconscious mind and to “re-wire” the brain. I believe this is a much better, safer, and more effective approach to drug therapy as the drugs will never cure anything and we will be on them for life. The withdrawal is horrible and our symptoms come back 100 times worse.”(Source: SocialAnxietySupport.com Forum)

**”I’ve used it and it does work! I haven’t had a panic attack since I finished with it. I still get bad anxiety, but that’s because I’m withdrawing from benzo’s. Once I’ve finished my benzo withdrawal I’m positive that the linden method will get rid of my anxiety.
It is really expensive but they have a money back guarantee – for life.” (Source: SocialPhobiaWorls.com Forum)

**”The linden method has cured my anxiety completely, one hundred percent. The program is very easy and put together very well. I know it is expensive, but for me I decided that I would pay any amount of money to have my life back. Believe me, it works. I would suggest starting it as soon as possible.” (Source: MedHelp.org Forum)

**”You must have to right mind set for it to work. It is like anything if you believe it’s not going to work from the start it is simply not going to work. I was a little confused at the beginning as well but the more and more I read into it the more sense it made”. Source: MedHelp.org Forum)

**”I am currently using the linden method but only for the past 2 weeks. I have had extreme anxiety for the past 8 months and have researched everything on the planet to find some relief. I have been on paxil (now weaning off because it is not working), been to naturopaths, bought every workbook, been to hospital for CBT therapy, there is etc etc. It is very early for me to say whether or not the Linden method will resolve all my anxiety issues ( I work full time, run a large household and have 5 daughters!) so am not able to commit as much time as I should.. But I will tell you in complete honesty… I feel a change, I am able to understand what is really going on with me and I believe what he says 100%! I know it will work for me… I honestly feel positive that a change is possible! I try everyday to work on his program and feel very encouraged. I find Charles Linden to be very genuine sincere man and am convinced he is teaching the right stuff to anxiety suffers. When I 1st received the package and started to read…I cried like a baby because I just felt he really understood. And I have no clue why everyone thinks it is so expensive! I received a ton of information, CD downloads, relaxation stuff and a manual, 24 hour support from his staff (you can call or email any questions…. AND I HAVE ALWAYS RECIEVED AN ANSWER!)” (Source: Womens-Health.com Forum)

The Bad Reviews:

**”Charles linden seems genuine to me. He seems to me like he is an ex sufferer and has got over his own anxieties and that his method is a genuine attempt to help others. However i wouldn’t recommend it. There are far, far, far more powerful and advanced methods out there for SA treatment. This is just an average guy who has put together a bit of knowledge and a bit of a plan. It’s nothing great that’s for sure.” Source: Social-Anxiety-Community.org Forum)

**”The key to success regarding these programs is you need to make sure you are the type of person who can remain disciplined and follow the given instructions, exercises, and tuition. I spent some money on Dr. Lucinda Basset’s program (expensive) and I couldn’t get into it, and I kind of new that I wouldn’t anyway. I found her to be quite genuine and I’m sure “The Linden method” is too; but, if you have ever tried to study via correspondence, online, and if you have found that you hardly ever keep to DVD exercise routines, then maybe you should think twice before you spend your money.” (Source: MdJunction.com Forum)

**”I tried it… I didn’t find it to help, but I have to admit I didn’t follow every suggestion. For one, it said that you should be completely off medication before you start the program, which to me is a very bad idea”. Source: MdJuncrion.com Forum)

Conclusion

I didn’t copy ALL the reviews I have found of course, but I found that real users of The Linden Method either said it worked wonderfully or did not work at all. The results are basically 50-50. For some it worked, for others it didn’t. But, all of them said that you have to be committed to the program and do as instructed repeatedly if you want to get results, it’s not a magic cure and it takes some time until you feel better and more time to be fully recovered. Now it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth trying or not.

I hope my research has helped you and saved you some time and more than that I hope you find relief and cure from anxiety and panic attacks soon.

To your health,

Meital
