Charles Linden was suffering from acute anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Agoraphobia and panic attacks. He suffered these anxiety disorders since he was 12 and continued to suffer from them until he reached a conclusion that no matter how much he spends on psychologists and therapists, anti-depressants and sedatives, the only thing they would do is to give comfort for duration of time without the assurance that his disorders would not come back. They were just giving him comfort, not curing him. He tried to find a solution by asking those who have freed themselves from the suffering, only they don't know the answers themselves. He was not overcome by this and insisted on knowing the rightful solution instead. He found the similarities on those who have recovered and the puzzles together, forming the Linden Method.
It is quite effective for him that he started showing signs of progression. Even his psychologist was dumbfounded that he was able to find his way from that dark path. He became a new, better person and he could not recognize anymore who he was. He never lost his belief that there was a cure for him and now that he found it, he wanted for other people to experience his victory against his anxiety disorders.
He was uncertain at first in sharing his "cure" because he was still doubtful if it works only for him or other people could also use it but his wife convinced him that it was worth sharing with the world, thus formed the Linden Centre to help those who are suffering from any anxiety disorder. He combined all the principals he acquired from all the people he questioned about the disorder and made it the core for the Linden Method. He now has TV series and regularly contributes to magazines about his method for everyone to discover.
