In reply to Anyone try the Linden Method?, posted by johnj on November 5, 2007, at 13:38:30
I'll summarise the Linden method for you so you don't need to buy it :) It's as simple as this. Face your fear.
Yup that is it in a nutshell, it takes you through a lot of information about various treatments etc etc, but the real advice is in the end you have to face the fear, and to be honest that is the most powerful advice you can get and the most cast iron way of combating an anxiety disorder. No one said it's easy though.
I'm agoraphobic. I don't stay indoors but I hate places where I can't escape. I recently became agoraphobic about travelling in my car. So much so it really depressed me and scared me terribly. You control your fear, even if you think it controls you. You are the one that makes you scared once you start to realise this then you can make a positive change. I just had to get in my car and feel the fear, and the fear can be damn hard to face. You just gotta do it one step at a time.
