I Have the Programme
I have to say I think its mega expensive for what u actually get but its the quality of the material that is worth so much, there is a panic eliminator on one of the cd's and linden explains it all so simply,my panic has decreased a lot since using the programme...I can send u the cd if u like?

It's worth it, believe me:)

Linden Method
I have purchased the linden method and it does work. As you say big man he has been through a lot, however I have to say , that I can understand someone being cautious and asking whether or not it is a con. I was also cautious before purchasing and I actually emailed them first to find out a bit more about it.

Linden Method
Hi thanks for replys I didnt mean it to sound nasty I do understand why he is trying to help people and I wrote to him personally and had a reply. Its just I have been conned in the past and my hopes and dreams were dashed. I had spent hell of a lot of money from hynotherapy which never really helped in anyway. I basically just wanted to know if someone as either done it or doing it. You say that it has helped you in what way do you feel better hope you dont mind me asking .

Linden Method - to Binza
Binza

i hope you do decide to go ahead with the linden method.

You ask how it makes people feel. Everyone experiences anxiety in different ways. All I can say is - when anxious you can't seem to focus on anything else outside of yourself and your own feelings.
When you listen to this method, it takes you away from yourself and back into the real world. The fear of fear starts to go.
We all get locked into fear at some time in our lives, but due to personal circumstances, the time you are locked in varies. With some people it might be fear of exams, which when over, goes away (until the next time). However, for others there might be time when these fears go on for a long time and therefore the brain registers it as a habit. Breaking a habit takes awhile, and you may need help.

There is a scientific reason as well and when that is explained to you, it is a tremendous help (it was to me anyway).

Good luck, I spent 35 years (on and off - more on than off) in what I called the scared zone. It takes away your identity, your self esteem, your sense of self. I recommend you try the lindon method.

Linden Method
Hi bundle thanks for the reply im glad to hear you are doingreally well on the linden method. Its so good to hear . My anxiety is fear related it seems everything as gone out of proportion with me. I had a bad panic attack 7yrs ago in our car, luckily I wasnt the driver I was a backseat passenger when it happened ever since then my life as been upside down a total mess, I cant travel anymore long distance local im not to bad but the fear still there, basically the thoughts are with me when I get up till I go to bed. I just feel im trapped in a shell life around me isnt interesting were it used to be, the fear factor as seemed to taken me over.
I had hynotherapy and it didnt work for me and I lost £400 and I felt very let down and I lost my confidence in people so trusting is a big thing for me. I am going to try the linden method it seems what I need to break me out of this, like you say everyone is different with anxiety not any 2 are the complete same .
Anyway thanks alot for getting back intouch with me with my questions and I wish you the very best of luck with the linden method.
Many thanks binza :d

Linden Method
I have just returned from the global retreat centre in oxford. I have attended the inner power seminar with the bhrama kahumanis.

Yoga meditation - it as wonderful. Get back to finding you through meditation. That alongside linden method should work.

Having the panic attack was just s aymptom of somthething else that is not sitting right for you. However, there is only one person that can change it for you - you. Good luck

Linden Method
Hello,

I have a friend who feels that the linden method truly gave him his life back. He said he was able to call in and get help over the phone too.

I found this website that compares different panic & anxiety attack relief methods.

http://anxietypanicattacks.org

They also have some free articles on the site.

I would aslo be interested in finding out if the linden method helps with agoraphobia. i think that is what i am suffering from. Fear has totally taken over my life, i am scared of everything. I only feel truly safe when i am at home and my husband is there. Also does anyone know if there is a way to buy maybe a used linden method package online somewhere to help cut down on the cost?

Linden Method
I used to have crippling anxiety. Here is what I did. I completely stopped all drugs and alcohol. I am now quitting smoking. I began doing energy work, getting a reiki attunement; this is because I realized the electricity i felt was something real that other people had learned to use as a Gift instead of an Impediment. This has taught me how to relax. I am learning to become a Yoga teacher, once again, because I must learn how to relax my body (it has learned how to become tense, so I must unlearn this.) All of this has happened over the course of three years (the rise and fall of my anxiety) It was the worst feeling ever, but by changing my life step by step I am over coming it and turning the worst parts of it into the best parts of my life now. If anyone has any questions, just shoot me an email.

I started experiencing anxiety and panic abut a year and a half ago. I don't know much about this stuff, especially since I'm so young and haven't really been around anyone who has suffered from anxiety and or panic attacks. I was searching about them online, when I came across an article on The Linden Method. I was excited to see that something seemed to be helping people. Having to deal with this amount of anxiety and not being able to really talk to someone about it, I was realy excited about this. But then I saw the price. I have no way of paying for that. Is there anything anybody else can reccomend me that will help, but does not cost too much?

linden method
Sad
I've been looking at the Linden method today as a'cure' for my panic attacks. I have tried 3 hypnotherapists at a cost of £700. And Cognitive Behavioral therapy through my GP - because of the type of panic attacks I have, this would never work. I have panic attacks because I am scared of losing control of my bowel. The more I panic the more times I need to go, so I cant 'force' myself to control the panic. I panic in traffic, in cars and taxis - scared that I cant get to a loo in time. I know its crazy , I'm intelligent, I used to be fun, happy, confident. Now I am a wreck. My life is scary.

I want to scream SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. I have tears in my eyes. Why is this so difficult. My mind knows what to do, I keep telling myself to ignore it, fight it. But my body caves in to the impulses.

I think I'll give the Linden method a go - what have I got to lose??

Charliedog,
I know exactly how you feel. I also have the fear of losing my bowels. I got the fear after I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and I started having a lot of stomach problems and had to use the restroom a lot. I had one bad episode a few years ago on the way home from a trip to Mexico where we were stuck in traffic at the border and I couldn't make it to a bathroom. Ever since then the fear has become paralyzing. I had to buy a campervan so that I could get myself to drive anywhere. The camper van has a toilet so now I will actually drive some places, but my fear had gotten so bad that even that isn't the complete fix because i am still scared of being away from home. So if i have to be more than 30 minutes from home I start to go into panic.
Did you have some episode that triggered this fear? Do you know where it came from?
I have slowly tried to do more things that make me uncomfortable to try and slowly reduce the fear, but it is really hard. I am also still considering the linden method, but i just wish it weren't so expensive.

panic attacks
Sad
I also have been diagnosed with IBS. I wonder what started first - the panic attacks or the IBS? Like you, I am considering buying a campervan for our summer holiday - it would relieve some of the stress. I too had an incident that started it all off. 10 years ago, on a weekend away with my boyfriend, I had a terrible bad stomach during the night resulting in a 2 hour visit to the bathroom. The next day I was still unwell but my boyfriend had booked a really expensive restaurant for lunch. The drive there I was very nervous. When I got to the restaurant I was very nervous and kept rushing to the bathroom. I could hardly eat anything and kept rushing to the toilet. On my return, every time we went for a meal I would rush to the bathroom and empty my bowels - sometimes before I had finished my meal. I also have had a couple of a'accidents'. I know that my problem is the FEAR of having an attack. But its very difficult to ignore a message to the brain indicating you need the toilet? Its NOT like thinking you are going to have a heart attack - that wont happen, but mine and your problem DOES happen? I think we should both give it a go? There are some copies on ebay for half the price. I'd like to try it, you never know. Let me know how you get on?

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I will check out Ebay to see if I can find a deal. I know I should try it out. Like you said it is hard to ignore the fear when it is making me have real symptoms that I can not just ignore. I have to use the restroom. I also have a history of fainting spells that have been unexplained, so it is tough to tell myself I will be fine when there have been many times that I have not been fine. it is just very difficult battle for me so I could sure use anything that will help.

panikc attacks
Hi Katrina

I'll tell you how I manage my ' needing to go' - this works if you have a planned event eg going on holiday. My Dr suggested taking Loperamide 2mg. Thats the generic name, you may have heard of Imodium which people take to control diarrhoea. If you have stomach problems every day you can take 1 every day or every other day. But I only use them if I am worried about going somewhere eg on holiday. I used to have to take them when I was going to the hairdressers - 1 hour in the chair used to put me in a panic, but now I rarely have a problem I think I've reprogrammed that one! You would normally take Loperamide on the onset of a bowel problem but having IBS you have to plan the day before. So, if I was flying tomorrow i would take 2 this morning, 2 at lunchtime and 2 this evening - believe me you will NOT go to the loo for AT LEAST 2 days! My Dr says I can take up to 12 in 24hrs so they are quite safe. Imodium is quite expensive in the UK but I can buy boxes of 30 Loperamide for about £3 (6$). I couldnt manage at all without them. Why dont you give them a try. You can test them out on short local trips first?
