The Linden Method cures people every time - here's the proof
If you like to read about the science behind the workings of the human mind... this is for you.
The science of The Linden Method has become recognised as a new branch of psychological practice and over the years we have collected a large group of amazing people we now work very closely with.
My involvement with The Queen's University Belfast, Emotions Research Consortium and my work with clinical, research and occupational psychologists, medical doctors and other specialists has led me to understand more fully why and how my works from a psychological and medical standpoint.
One of the world's leading research psychologists and a man I now call my friend and colleague, Dr Francis Teeney has shown me that my me conforms entirely to psychological theory and that it works because it makes complete sense above all other techniques.
CBT fails because it deals with cognition – anxiety conditions are not cognitive disorders, they are entirely emotional, so it stands to reason that the solution should deal with the emotions directly... which is why The Linden Method works.
Dr Francis Teeney explains his endorsement of The Linden Method:
"I am happy to report that the Linden Method – a system for helping those with various anxiety disorders to fully recover from their condition – is exactly what it claims to be. After careful investigation over many months I endorsed the Linden Method for several reasons.
1. It is an easy to read and follow me to recovery.
2. It provides various mediums – audio, DVD, App, word explanation and telephone support to adherents of the me.
3. This me gives a 100% money back guarantee - I think this says more than anything else.
4. For the above reason you can now appreciate that the Linden Method claims of permanent recovery can be justified. It is not a quick fix but rather a philosophy of life. A set of tools to keep you anxiety free and to promote appropriate emotional responses.
In light of the above reasons I invited Charles Linden to join a research consortium led by Queen's University, School of Psychology with a remit to examine the role of emotions in health. This group is made up of academics, fully qualified and practicing doctors as well as practitioners in the field. I should add it has a prestigious international membership.
The Linden Method is an honourable 100% money back guaranteed recovery me based on sound psychological techniques."

The Amygdala - The hub of all your anxiety
So, what is the Amygdala?
The Amygdala (amygdalae; plural) are a pair of small organs within the medial temporal lobes of the brain. The amygdala are part of the limbic system and their primary role is in the processing and memory of emotional reactions such as the anxiety reaction or 'flight or fight' response.
In humans, the amygdala perform important roles in the formation and storage of memories associated with emotions including anxiety. Scientists have shown that fear conditioning, experienced for example by those who develop an anxiety disorder such as generalised anxiety, panic attacks, phobias or obsessions (OCD), happens within the amygdala and is stored by it as an inappropriate anxious reaction.
The amygdala reacts to 'fear conditioning' in the same way as Pavlov's dogs were conditioned to salivate on hearing a bell; this kind of conditioning is called operant conditioning and was studied extensively by eminent psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner who found that through repetition, the subconscious mind could be affected in a way which would alter the autonomic reactions stored in it. The process that creates this learning as physical wiring in the brain is called Neuroplasticity.
John Broadus Watson, an eminent psychologist with theories similar to Skinner's, believed that he could take a human child and 'create' the kind of person he wanted by manipulating their behaviours; this stands to reason when histories of anxious people reveal the catalysts for their condition, more often than not, a specific catalyst can be identified and these include family situations, bereavement, exposure to other sufferers and general social environment amongst many more.
Through behavioural modifications, the amygdala can be modified to react differently.
During high anxiety, the amygdala can be modified to react with higher levels of anxiety and this can then become fixed causing an anxiety disorder such as panic disorder, OCD or phobias. Similarly, those with anxiety conditions can, through a structured method, modify the inappropriate reactions of the amygdala in order to return it to a more appropriate level, thus eliminating the anxious symptoms associated with the disorder.
By modifying the 'hard wiring' of nerves in your brain through The Linden Method, you can turn off your anxiety disorder... sometimes in hours... not even days.
The Science behind the Research
The 'Little Albert' Experiment - Fear conditioning and anxiety disorders
John Broadus Watson was an American Psychologist who established the Psychological School of Behaviourism. Watson believed that he could take twelve healthy infants and by applying behavioural changes, could 'design' people to be how he wanted them to be.
Watson stated that emotions such as fear could be conditioned using behavioural techniques. He took a small child (11 months) called 'Little Albert' and conditioned him to become fearful of random objects: a rabbit, a dog and (believe it or not) some wool! Watson presented these objects and at the same time, made a loud noise.
The experiment worked and Little Albert became conditioned to respond with fear when presented with the objects alone. He had conditioned anxiety and this sent shockwaves through the psychological community that had, until then, believed that fear, was pre-med in the subconscious (Sigmund Freud).
As unethical as this experiment was, it proved that fear responses could be raised by fear conditioning and that anxiety disorders can be created and eliminated given the correct treatment.
Burrhus Frederic Skinner was an American psychologist who pioneered research and advocated behaviourism which concentrates on understanding how behaviour is the manifestation of environmental history with regard to the experience of consequences.
Skinner also proposed the use of behaviour modification, much like Watson, he believed that a person could have their experience of life modified by behaviours. Skinner developed the theories behind operant conditioning as a way of engineering society, happiness and people's experiences of their lives.
Skinner believed that any experience backed up by a consequence would become imprinted on a person's psyche; the experience of anxiety disorder sufferers would back this up; repeated stimulation of the Amygdala through anxious behaviour would reinforce and imprint those behaviours as a form of 'habit' into the subconscious mind.
Conversely, by using behaviour modification as discovered and pioneered by Watson and Skinner, the reversal of the formation of 'anxious habit' is also possible.
Charles Linden is a pioneer of behaviourism in the elimination of anxiety disorders. Linden's theories surrounding behaviour modification to affect the inappropriate reaction in the amygdala have been used with great success in conditions such as Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Phobias and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Combining a targeted me of behavioural changes and constant support and reassurance, Linden's Method undermines the subconscious anxious reaction in the amygdala, eliminating the core of the reaction within the amygdala, which causes and perpetuates the anxiety.
In line with the theories of Skinner and Watson, Linden's Methods prove that behaviour modification is the cause and solution to many of today's anxiety conditions and also plays an important role in some depressive conditions.
The Psychology of Emotion - The truth about why YOU suffer from an anxiety disorder
In the early 1900s, two men pioneered research into the true nature of emotion and its relationship to the physical body, symptoms and illness and came up with a number of definitive conclusions. Those men were Karl Lange and William James. These two men's work forms the foundation of modern emotional psychology.

Karl Lange |
William James |
The most important conclusion they came to forms the foundation for our understanding of how emotions are created, and what incredible physical impact thoughts 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 (anxiety symptoms) WITHOUT any conscious thoughts or emotions; in other words, the emotion of fear 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!
What we KNOW, from over 13 years of experience having helped over over 149,000 clients to recover... not manage their anxiety, RECOVER, is that if an anxiety sufferer does The Linden Method, they completely eliminate every element of the inappropriate anxiety they experience - and every anxious symptom and thought disappears too! It never fails to make me proud when I receive the emails, videos and messages of gratitude.
