Linden Method Review
This Linden Method Review is based upon my own purchase, assessment and evaluation of the product. There are many self help programs out there for anxiety and I try to purchase and review as many as I can.
Background Information
The Linden Method is a program developed by a former agoraphobic and panic attack sufferer named Charles Linden. He has compiled the strategies he used to cure himself of anxiety issues into a self help program.
What is in the Package?
I ordered the version which is shipped to your address, but is also immediately available in digital format online. It consists of soft cover books and DVDs and CDs (or if you order the online downloadable version it is digital files and mp3 and digital video files).
There is a lot of material, which I was happy to find, and it took me several days to read through and listen to all the material.
A portion of it details Linden's own history and struggles with anxiety, agoraphobia and panic attacks. He talks about the things he tried such as medication, traditional talk therapy and other methods and how these did not work for him. He decided to to do his own research to see what else would work for him.
He published what worked for him in these books and CDs. He also now has his own clinic in England.
Based on Established Scientific Principles
After going through the entire program I realized that it is generally based upon many well known cognitive behavior and exposure therapy principles that are already established and well researched. He puts these well established principles into his own unique framework.
When you pay for the program you are paying for the writing and the development and production of the material, not unlike you would for any other author. He has established his own unique twist to framing and utilizing established scientific data and methods for anxiety treatment. This program is detailed and cannot be expressed in one quick page of tips.

Linden Method Review - the Negatives
There are a few things I didn't like about the Linden Method.
- The need for passwords to access digital documents and resources (I know - that's being picky!)
- toll free phone numbers may not be available in some countries - but is available of course by email
Consider Using The Linden Method
Consider using the Linden Method program , if :
- You have just become aware of your anxiety issues or just been diagnosed
- You have had anxiety issues for quite some time
- You have treatment resistant anxiety
- Prefer to access help on your own and actively help yourself
- Can commit to following a program and motivate yourself to read it and complete the exercises
- Want to get started on recovery right away
- Cannot afford therapy sessions and need a self help program that works
- Want to get off medication
- You are willing to put work, effort and committment into your own recovery from anxiety and panic issues
Maybe Not For You
This program is not for you if:
- You want an instant fix - this method - like any other takes time - while you can experience improvement right away most people need several weeks to feel completely cured
- You are not willing or able to stick to the program and to put considerable personal effort into getting better
