Depersonalisation and Derealisation

Derealisation and Depersonalisation are both dissociative symptoms of high anxiety and sufferers of one can experience the other.

Many clients come to us in a distressed state, having been told by some therapists/professionals that they will have to live with depersonalisation forever. This is not the case. We know from our high success rate that The Linden Method can help you to overcome this common and expected symptom of anxiety.

First of all, understand this - depersonalisation and derealisation are completely normal symptoms of anxiety disorder. Although they can both be very disturbing at times, they are completely harmless, think of them as a daytime dream. They DO NOT mean that you have any other condition, a mental illness or that you are going mad... they are just more anxiety symptoms.

Depersonalisation and Derealisation Treatment

Both of these conditions are directly caused by and are symptoms of anxiety. Both depersonalisation and derealisation are caused by changes which occur in the way nerve signals are processed by the brain during high anxiety conditions.

Whilst they are harmless, they are also quite disturbing, HOWEVER, they can be eliminated very quickly using a method which addresses the cause of the anxiety imbalance at its root in the amygdala. Reduction of your 'benchmark' anxiety level WILL produce elimination of depersonalisation and derealisation for every sufferer. If you are human and have high anxiety, your body already has the in-built mechanism poised ready to reduce your anxiety and to eliminate the depersonalisation/derealisation and every other symptom of your high anxiety fast!.

The Linden Method has treated tens of thousands of people, the vast majority of which experienced either depersonalisation or derealisation at some time during their condition.

"I suffered with depresonalisation and derealisation throughout the 27 years of my anxiety disorder. We have many, many people, especially, lately, young people who have smoked cannabis or taken illicit substances, come to us with depersonalisation or derealisation, thinking that they have somehow injured themselves and that they have done permanent damage to their minds... this simply isn't the case. Both depersonalisation and derealisation are temporary conditions that simply require 're-programming' to eliminate them completely." Charles Linden
