About Us
Why is LTE the world's most respected anxiety recovery organization?
The science behind The Linden Method is confirmed by all sciences but may oppose what you may have been led to believe by other practices - but as they have failed to cure you, please just 'suspend disbelief' and learn the true science.
THE RECOVERY TEAM
The psychology team at LTE administer and provide support for all of the programmes - the team are all BACP and BPS psychologists and psychotherapists accredited in Recovery Therapy (NCFE Level 4 through CPD). They are professionally qualified Anxiety Recovery Practitioners.
THE PROGRAMS
The programs are psycho-educational. As the disorders are in fact, endocrine response disorders and not mental illnesses, they do not respond to medication, therapy, counselling, hypnosis or any other widely used treatment.

THE PROGRAMS
The programs are psycho-educational. As the disorders are in fact, endocrine response disorders and not mental illnesses, they do not respond to medication, therapy, counselling, hypnosis or any other widely used treatment.
Psycho-educational recovery practice is biologically, the only way to recover.
Like unfitness is reduced by increased levels of exercise which moves the mind and body towards fitness, psycho-education does the exact same to eliminate anxiety, phobias, obsessions, panic, low mood and all other anxiety conditions. There is no other solution or short-cut.
Psycho-education is how we learn everything throughout life.

Mental illnesses include psychosis, brain injury, degenerative diseases and true, clinical depression. Fear disorders aren’t remotely associated with these conditions.
IT'S SIMPLE SCIENCE
IT'S SIMPLE SCIENCE
TLM teaches you to deactivate the disordered element of the fear response in the same way as exercise teaches people to deactivate the disordered element of 'fitness'.
The speed of efficacy is dependent on one factor. Compliance.
If a person is compliant, the mind can switch off inappropriate fear responses and therefore all associated manifestations including phobias, obsessions, compulsions and panic, in a very short time. Biologically, this can be seconds. Practically it is often 1 to 5 days.
As it is the ONLY way to remove anxiety, it's a case of just 'doing it', because not doing it is rejecting recovery.
As the systemic responses are all built in to every human by evolution, a person with anxiety will recover.FACT
As the systemic responses are all built in to every human by evolution, a person with anxiety will recover.FACT
The only exacerbating issues are related to other physiological conditions which might make recovery difficult. The same is true of exercise.
Once recovery from anxiety is reached, relapse is impossible. The mind modifies neurology through neuroplasticity and prevents a new disorder from activating.
Cognitive or 'talking' therapy is scientifically flawed as it focuses on cognition. Cognition (thought) does not play a part in fear response and therefore, no amount of thought will manipulate or change anxiety levels. In fact, talking about it will only make it worse.
Furthermore, there is no monitoring of CBT practice and practitioners add, often, harmful and sometimes ridiculous practices to their sessions, creating a bastardisation of the original process.

Over the years we have heard horrific stories of the treatments people have received.
OUTCOMES
Like all learning processes, TLM is measured on outcomes. “I was A, now I am B”. Like examination processes in schools, evidence of efficacy of the process is measured by the outcome. This is the same. Recovery = efficacy. Please look at some of the thousands of recoveries we have created on our websites. This is not evident elsewhere.
NHS testing showed that TLM is 100% effective at reducing anxiety down to normal levels.
In psychology and psychiatry the science is not in any way associated with the science of anxiety disorders (which are not psychological in nature). Efficacy within psychological practice is not measured in recovery outcomes, it is measured, most commonly, in attendance rates.
Charles Linden "I always said that if I were starting company 'from scratch'. I would only employ anxious people. I’d then cure them and created the greatest team of people alive. All of our employees are ex sufferers."

For 26 years, I was YOU...
I'm not a psychologist, therapist or counsellor... I am an average human who suffered from anxiety disorders for 22 plus years. Following my own recovery I decided to create a self-help methodology that eventually became a Peer Supported Psycho-educational recovery programme, teaching every anxiety disorder sufferer what I had done to remove the predisposition to suffering and erase my disorders.
All I want to do is stop people from suffering. I am plain speaking, honest and respectful but I also know how myself and every recovered anxiety disorder sufferer did it... my job is to tell you. No psychology or mumbo jumbo, just simple guidance.
'Management' and 'coping' were two words I certainly never wanted to hear again and wasn't prepared to let young people like myself hear when recovery is possible, fast and simple. LAR is the world's first and only accredited anxiety disorder recovery, peer supported, programme of recovery and of that we are all, at LTE, very proud.
Charles Linden - Director Linden Tree Education
You will be anxiety free of that there's no doubt... just listen and do... it's so simple. Charles

LAR Therapy is administered by mental health practitioners (psychologists and psychotherapists) with a professional level LAR Recovery Practitioner accreditation.
UNIQUE SUPPORT
Although our support team are all psychologists and psychotherapists, what we practice is psycho-educational... not psychology. This is why what we do works so effectively... it makes sense to sufferers and is based on actual science not the bastardisation of science used widely, which produces no measurable recovery results. We treat the core condition, not the symptoms.
UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
Since 1997, we have been providing recovery programmes for people suffering from a wide range of emotional disorders. Over 260,000 people have now used TLM and the numbers are growing rapidly as we receive increasing numbers of medical and psychological referrals from those who dismiss counselling and psychotherapy, medications and other therapies due to lack of recovery success.
UNIQUE RECOVERY RATES
Recognition of the vast difference between the recovery rates we produce and the lack of such in other practices, lead well-meaning practitioners to refer directly to us in order to move their patients down a more definite recovery pathway. We receive referrals through NHS practitioners, private practice, educational facilities and other sources. Why? Because we produce results.

Charles' Story
Directors Charles & Beth Linden
Our founder, Charles Linden, not only cured himself but also discovered the true science of anxiety recovery.
Aged just 27 Charles was the first person to use LAR Therapy, but back then, he had no idea that it would, one day, be called that, or that it would be the first and only dedicated anxiety disorder recovery therapy.
The changes happened so fast. He went from a housebound agoraphobic with panic disorder, OCD, derealization and depersonalization, eating disorders, health anxiety, emetophobia, monophobia, fear of dying, HOCD, ROCD and a massive group of psychological and physical symptoms that no doctor or psychologist could ever explain or remove.
Charles was on a cocktail of drugs including Diazepam, Stelazine, Prozac and more. None proved in any way beneficial, but all brought with them a myriad of side-effects and interactions that brought Charles to breakdown... he described his mind as a Runaway Train. Out of control and speeding off without a driver.
BUT, Charles decided enough was enough and embarked on a one week journey back to full anxiety freedom and independency.
ONE WEEK. That's all it took.
His doctor, psychiatrist and psychologists looked on in absolute dismay as it dawned on them that despite their training, they had made him worse and he had done what they could never do... he cured himself.
But how?
By doing what the brain and body are naturally designed to do... restore harmony across every bodily system... true recovery!
What Charles achieved turned out to be the scientific way to recover from anxiety disorders and now, years later, it really is the most scientific, common sense and straight-forward recovery therapy.
