The Method teaches TRT™—Threat Recalibration Therapy: a practical recovery approach focused on the biology of the fear response, rather than simply coping with symptoms.

Why the recovery approach is different

Recovery means more than learning to live with anxiety disorders - it means full, lifelong relief.

Your brain’s fear response is there to protect you. When it becomes over-sensitive, it can trigger frightening physical sensations, anxious thoughts and avoidance even when there is no immediate danger. TRT™ focuses on recalibrating that response. The lessons explain the biology and guide you through practical changes in everyday life.

You don’t have to understand the science before you start. We explain it step by step, including why symptoms can feel so frightening and what the program teaches you to do about them.

What the approach involves

01
Understand the fear response
The lessons explain how an over-sensitive threat response can connect with physical symptoms, anxious thoughts and behaviours.
02
Practise a different response
Use the video, audio, written guidance and practical exercises at your own pace, returning to the material when you need to.
03
Get help when you need it
If you would like personal guidance, choose Complete for unlimited therapist support and live Q&A sessions, or speak to us about private coaching.

Anxiety and OCD

“I never thought I'd feel OK again, I thought my life would always be a struggle due to anxiety and OCD. After only 5 weeks I have my life back.”

I just wanted to thank you personally, Charles, for your method! I stumbled across this on the internet a couple of years ago, and didn't go ahead with it - I wish I had. I would have saved lots of money and heartache! I never thought I'd feel OK again, I thought my life would always be a struggle due to anxiety and OCD. After only 5 weeks I have my life back.

Returning to work and everyday life

“I have been going into supermarkets again and shops and last week I spent virtually all day in my little boy's School. I really cannot believe it and I cannot thank you all enough. I am cured!”

Thank you! Whoever reads this email I would be very obliged if you could show it to everyone else. I am cured! I haven't been in touch for a couple of weeks because I thought I would just see how it went. It happened without me really realizing and all of a sudden. I can't believe it and I shall certainly be \"plugging\" The Linden Method to anyone I know who suffers from panic and anxiety. I am back working again, from home, but that's what I wanted to do anyway! I went into Manchester last week to pick up some work and went into a very crowded and busy firm of Solicitors and had a long conversation with the senior partner who gave me a huge amount of work to bring home. I have been going into supermarkets again and shops and last week I spent virtually all day in my little boy's School. I really cannot believe it and I cannot thank you all enough. I am cured! If I ever get twinges or doubts again - I know what to do! There is no fear left inside me. I have well and truly kicked it into touch. Please feel free to print this on the web site if you wish. Many many thanks.

Agoraphobia and travelling again

“I started your method 5 days ago and after 3 days of doing it I traveled 150 miles to a family wedding.”

I was suffering from agoraphobia for the last seven years and at only 30 years old and with two kids I found living in constant anxiety very difficult. I started your method 5 days ago and after 3 days of doing it I traveled 150 miles to a family wedding. We are just back now and I am so happy, I found that the 9 pillars and the panic elimination cd was fantastic. Janice in your English office gave me so much help to get me going. I am so Happy. I can't wait for tomorrow to go out again. I am on a high with the sense of freedom I feel. Thank you so so much!!!!
