> I checked out this 'linden method'. But I cant seem to figure out what the method is. There are many scams out there, and I cannot afford $200 on something that doesnt even explain its process! So, any help here? What does it do and WHY does it work?
The site really doesn't explain too many details about the method, but hopefully my explanation can help a bit.
The biggest part of the Linden Method is that it basically helps lower your 'anxiety benchmark'. It helps take your subconcious back to the way it was BEFORE you started experiencing panic attacks.
The Method includes a section called The Nine Pillars. Each 'pillar' is about a page long. They're basically rules that are extremely important to know and comprehend in order to be panic-attack free. I found myself laughing as I read some one them because it was so ironic that I had done the very things that you aren't supposed to do when dealing with anxiety. I researched like crazy, thinking that something else was wrong with me. I thought constantly about my condition, only making it worse, I relied too heavily on others. Instead of diverting my mind from the anxiety, I dwelled on it, etc. The Nine Pillars is the fundamental part of the Method. Each pillar is extremely simple but necessary. Some will be more helpful to you than others.
The schedule for the nine pillars is this: for nine days, you read one of the nine pillars each day. Before reading the short section, you listen to the Nine Pillars audio portion. Also, a visualization/relaxation audio portion is included in the package and you are supposed to listen to it TWICE a day. After you finish the Nine Pillars, you go on to read the rest of the e-book. The rest has Linden's story, the 'Anatomy of Anxiety' (a section that explains symtoms in detail), and other things that I previously mentioned.
It's kind of hard to define the method because really, it's a lot of things blended into one. But what it DOES it that it helps you understand anxiety and the fact that you can defeat it without medication. It's a behavioral issue. Physical factors may make certain cases worse, but they are not the cause of anxiety.
I purchesed the downloadable version that is less than $100. It might seem pricey, but compared to the cost of medication, it's nothing.
LET DOWN: Before, there was a money back guarantee within 6 months (I accidentally said a year). Now it's 90 days. It stinks that they shortened the time but really, if you do see any improvement, it should be within weeks to a few months.
Another non-medication method is offered by www.thinkrightnow.com , a totally different company. The CD is about $30. I'd recommend 'Dissolving Panic and Anxiety'. http://www.thinkrightnow.com/catalog.htm
