Charles Linden suffered with anxiety, OCD, agoraphobia, mono phobia, eating disorders, health anxiety, low mood and other manifestations of fear disorder until he was 26. Charles developed the original program following his successful and full recovery.

The team at LTE was taken on to assist in administering the programmes and they are all BACP and BPS psychologists and psychotherapists trained in LAR at NCFE Level 4 through their CPD. They are professionally qualified Anxiety Recovery Practitioners.

The programmes are psycho-educational as the disorders are actually endocrine control disorders and not mental illnesses. Like unfitness, the condition that results from disordered responses, fear disorders are eliminated by changing incoming neurological data in order to manipulate the mind and body into fitness.

It’s how we learn everything throughout life. Mental illnesses include psychosis, brain injury, degenerative diseases and true, clinical depression. Fear disorders aren’t remotely associated with these as fear, as we all know is activated by the brain and the hormone (endocrine response) happens in the lower left abdomen in the adrenal glands.

TLM teaches people to deactivate the disordered element of the fear response in the same way as exercise teaches people to deactivate the disordered element of activity.The speed of efficacy is dependent on one factor. Compliance. If a person is compliant, the mind can switch off inappropriate fear responses and therefore all associated manifestations including phobias, obsessions, compulsions and panic, in a very short time. Biologically, this can be seconds. Practically it is often 1 to 5 days.

As the systemic responses are all built in to every human by evolution, a person with anxiety will recover. The only exacerbating issues are related to other physiological conditions which might make recovery difficult. The same is true of exercise.Once recovery is reached, relapse is impossible.

The mind modifies neurology through neuroplasticity and prevents a new disorder from activating.CBT is scientifically flawed as it focuses on cognition. Cognition does not play a part in fear response and therefore, no amount of thought will manipulate or change anxiety levels. In fact, talking about it will only make it worse.

Furthermore, there is no monitoring of CBT practice and practitioners add, often, harmful and sometimes ridiculous practices to their sessions, creating a bastardisation of the original process. Over the years we have heard horrific stories of the treatments people have received.Like all learning processes, TLM is measured on outcomes. “I was A, now I am B”. Like examination processes in schools, evidence of efficacy of the process is measured by the outcome. This is the same. Recovery = efficacy. Please look at some of the thousands of recoveries we have created on our websites. This is not evident elsewhere.

A person with anxiety can present as mentally ill because hyper-vigilance creates the mental confusion and often despair, that legitimate fear creates when appropriate but in the fear disorder it is constant. Hypervigilence places you in an enhanced state and whilst people may appear ‘crazy’, they certainly are not. When recovery is reached, normality returns. People who are predisposed to suffering from anxiety conditions are in the segment of society with the highest level intellect and emotional intelligence; these are elements of the genetic predisposition. I have never seen an anxious person cause harm to or neglect another person.

Anxious people are generally very loving, kind and generous when their fear disorder is removed.

Charles Linden "I always said that if I were starting  company from scratch. I would only employ anxious people. I’d then cure them and created the greatest team of people alive. All of our employees are ex sufferers."
