YOUR needs provided for

by Charles Linden, MD, The Linden Centres

"I benefit enormously from being involved in the running of The Centres and in the early days, I was the support staff, media relations, accounting, order processing and every other role!

Now that we have tens of thousands of current clients and having helped well over 100,000 ex clients, there is no way I could do that, which is why I have hand picked an incredible group of people who assist me to maintain the level of service I would expect from myself... the best!

I do receive many hundreds of emails and letters from Linden Method members but I haven't been on the 'front line' for some time; if I had, I would never get any work done. But lately, I have been playing a more active role in contact with clients in order to judge what it is you need and want from my programs and also to discover ways to improve how I communicate with you.

I try to distil ideas down so that there is no ambiguity in the message... I want you to FULLY understand every instruction and concept fully so that you can benefit as effectively and fully from my material as possible – that way, recovery is always guaranteed!

You see, it is all too easy to 'skim' through material, misunderstanding it and then applying inaccurate principals that reap zero benefits – FOCUS is key to recovery and simple to do... you just have to follow our lead.

Many of my clients approach us believing that they are being 'victimized' by some sort of outside force. Anxiety sufferers suggest that their anxiety has been caused by external influences that are 'attacking them' or 'happening to them' in a way which takes away their own control, whether it be stressors, anxiety itself or maybe just 'life'. These people come to me asking for me to 'wave a magic wand' and remove these external influences.

The question I always ask is - do these people believe that they are being victimized by these circumstances or do they see themselves as the creator of the?

If you believe you are a victim... what message are you sending to your subconscious? That you are at the mercy of everything you experience; that you are helpless; that you have no control of your 'self'. And what you THINK – ALWAYS becomes reality! We are what we think!

When you resign yourself to being helpless and powerless, you completely remove your ability to create change – because everything becomes hopeless! EVEN when it isn't!

At this stage, you 'switch off' your mind to the options available to you and very soon slip into behaviours that can't ever produce recovery. Do you understand how this works?

Then you start searching for blame. You blame your job, your marriage, a bereavement, stress, your parents... in fact anything and anyone but the true cause. You then feel victimized and weak.

The difference between anxiety sufferers who recover quickly and those who don't is that those who recover quickly understand that giving blame to external influences like this is futile and that they are 'masters of their own destiny'. The ones who don't recover quickly are those that feel victimized and weak!

My first role in the Linden Method program is to show sufferers that they can quickly take back that control and 'ownership' of their situation and by doing this, get immediate relief from some of their symptoms. This is quite a hurdle for some people but my support staff and I work tirelessly to reinforce this concept so that recovery happens fast.

Some clients find it hard to accept that they are in control and use certain key phrases designed to undermine their 'ownership' of their situation... negative words like won't and can't and say "I have tried but ..." Using words like these allows your subconscious mind the opportunity to present a multitude of objections which reinforce them and immediately constructs a 'road block' which stops you from using your intellect to 'problem solve'. You immediately disempower 'options' when you use negative, defeatist language like this.

I believe that 'can't' is never an option until you try and using the word 'try' is a way to prepare yourself for failure. Successful people never use the word tried do they? Why? Because they succeeded! Failure should be a concept that no one ever focuses on, even when it seems that failure has 'happened'... why? Because 'failure' presents you with an opportunity for a fresh start... another attempt!

So, if you focus on the final, positive outcomes and use positive words like 'when I have...' and 'I have succeeded in...' instead of 'I tried...' because when you use negative words, you prepare your brain to discover a way to fail!

You may feel that you don't behave in this way but if you are at the mercy of your anxiety and feel 'helpless' to find a way out, you are! Just for a moment, try to imagine that you are 100% in control. What would you be saying now? "What can I do to..?" "How can I..?" You would be asking questions designed to set you up for solutions wouldn't you?

You are now preparing yourself for recovery, BUT, more than that, you are learning a vital life skill which can be applied to anything you want to achieve in life!

By taking on board these positive thoughts, you focus your mind on what you want, rather than what you don't! By doing this you allow your brain to focus on problem solving to make positive things happen!

I was a victim once... in fact, for many of my early years! But, when I decided that enough was enough and took back the control, utilized the Method that I had discovered and made changes that positively affected my existence, my life changed in days! You can achieve this too, just like me and every single client we have helped!

Fear is the only thing stopping you from recovering using The Linden Method. And why are you frightened? Probably because something has caused you to experience something that frightened you, raising your anxiety levels artificially – this raised anxiety then influences absolutely everything you do; you feel as if you are potentially in danger every minute of every day and your behaviours are 'safety seeking' at all times.

This is why The Linden Method is just so effective. It reassures you from the start, undermining these base fears and prepares you for anything the world might throw at you. The Linden Method provides you with the tools to take back control without fear, to become the 'master of your own destiny' to undermine and overwhelm your fears completely and to become who you REALLY want to be rather than focusing on the things you don't want!

You will become stronger, more able, more focused and more challenged by life – producing the outcomes that you could only dream about previously and this WILL happen, that I promise you. How do I know? Because it is the predominant experience of every one of our complying clients!
