I've been trying the Linden method and have quit all meds (thank God).
Let me sum it up. You know how you feel when you watch a scary movie. You might check under the bed, make sure all the doors are locked, or have trouble sleeping for a night or two. But you keep telling yourself, "this is silly, it was just a movie, there is no reason to be scared". That is anxiety, but we deny it by telling ourselves its not real (which its not). Basically, the Linden Method is centered around that principle. We have self created (maybe by one event or maybe by an accumalation of a lifetime) anxiety, the fear of fear. Its not real, its only real in our head and thats what causes all of the anxiety symptoms. Meds just mask this and it will never get better. WE have to convince ourselves that it is not real and FACE IT head on to conquer it. We have to reprogram our brains to realize that these responses (the anxiety reactions) aren't normal. You should check it out on the internet, it really has been a revelation for me in just days!
