Charles Linden is the developer and founder of ‘The Linden Method’ cure for anxiety. He is a private-practice counselor at The Linden Centre, treating people with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, phobias and other anxiety-related disorders.
His anxiety began in his teens. Anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder plagued him but he learned to live with it.
After high school, Charles Linden worked for the US Armed Forces and was stationed in Germany. He drove 3-5 hours per day, 7 days a week, ate late at night and never got enough sleep.
One morning, he got out of bed feeling shaky, dizzy and disoriented. He tried to swallow the strange feelings and go on with his day but they got so bad, pulled over at the nearest gas station. Shaking and sweating, Charles Linden spilled out of the car and his knees buckled. The gas station attendant called an ambulance and Charles was whisked away to hospital.
After a thorough examination, Charles Linden learned he was not having an early heart attack as he’d first believed, it was a panic attack.
Confused and alone with no family and only a few acquaintances, Charles Linden tried to cure his debilitating panic attacks alone by quitting smoking, coffee and changing his diet. Instead of helping, this only made things worse. The panic attacks continued to increase in frequency and strength to the point he hardly left the house.
After 5 months of lonely suffering, a desperate Charles Linden drove to his native England and sought help from his medical doctor. His doctor promptly labeled him a hypochondriac and prescribed the prescription drug, Diazepam.
Far from being cured, Charles Linden spent the next five years being prescribed more medications that caused horrible side effects and did nothing to relieve his crippling anxiety. He gained weight, developed multiple food intolerances and suffered up to 10 panic attacks a day!
Even though the antidepressants and sedatives did more harm than good, each time he tried to wean himself off them, the horrific withdrawal kept him refilling his prescriptions each month.
Desperate and disgusted, Charles Linden branched away from conventional medicine and visited healers, naturopaths and hypnotherapists. Though some of their methods provided relaxation and a temporary escape from anxiety, none of the treatments provided an actual cure.
This vicious cycle continued until Charles Linden neared 30. Taking a more proactive approach to healing his anxiety, he actively sought out recovered anxiety sufferers. They told him they no longer suffered from anxiety and had a common look of enlightenment in their eyes but none could tell him specifically what they’d done to eliminate their anxiety permanently.
Undeterred, Charles Linden continued to talk to hundreds of former anxiety sufferers until he found the simple, common methods each former sufferer used to heal their anxiety.
Charles Linden then used these methods on himself and within a short time, he was a new man.
It took a lot of convincing by his wife and family, but eventually, Charles Linden founded ‘The Linden Method’ and ‘The Linden Centre’ where he is a professional counselor.
The 43-year-old is now the Chairman of the International Association of Anxiety Management and is a frequent contributor to magazines such as Women’s Own, Natural Health and OK Magazine as well as anxiety websites and About.com. Charles Linden has also recently shot his own TV series.
Charles Linden is fast becoming an international expert on anxiety and has helped thousands cure their anxiety using the body’s own natural anxiety reduction mechanism.
