Does anyone have any experience of his techniques etc? I'm always so sceptical of these type of programs, but I guess they must help some people?

I don't know TJ,
sounds like it's too good to be true to me :-)Still I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's tried it too.
I've heard of the name Charles Linden and Linden method before, but nothing rings a bell in my memory. That could be due to my poor short term memory or no bells inside to ring.All I can think of when he says it just strikes some people like .. is a saying like just get out there and do it.
If you can't do it, it doesn't matter, it's the same as if you hadn't tried. I guess swimming across the ocean doesn't count here ;-)
or some such advice.. I don't know though.By doing and participating you gradually get more exercise which would have helped him lose weight, which helps you feel better ..etc. Aklso when doing things acticely ther's a little less time to dwell on other stuff. Just thinking, It might have applied to him? But I've really no idea.
My local shrink reckons breathing slowly and counting your breath works fo everyone who tries it, that has anxiety and gives it a fair go.
Personally I think its reverse logic..as the says the ones it doesn't work for ..didn't do it right ;-) or didn't believe and weren't prepared to give it a proper go subconsciously.
that way he has 100% success ;-)Jan

There is some dispute over the validity of the Linden method. I have trawled www.deja.com (usenet newsgroups search engine) and the conclusion seems to be that it's a bit of a con. There's a lot of pages to pad it out and then the real info is very small and simple apparently.
I have a friend who suffers from panic when she drives and she recommended the book from this site
http://www.anxietycoach.com/breathing.htmI've yet to try it but she's a good friend so I don't doubt her. Anyway go to that link it has instruction and a video of the proper way to breathe when you feel anxiety/panic coming on. Notice the fact that you 'sigh' first to expel air, apparently that's a crucial part to correct breathing.
Hope this helps.
