does anyone know the success rate of this program? i did the linden method that claims to have a 96% success rate and i'm here...meaning it didn't work for me.

just curious if anyone knows the success rate with this program. I am on session 4 (hurrying through because of 30 day back guarantee) and it is a lot the same as the linden method however the negative thinking is more in depth.

anyone else try any other anxiety solutions?

I can't help you with this. I did not do the linden method and this is the only program I have tried and I am only on lesson 3. I don't want to rush but I understand how expensive it is. I guess I WANT to believe it will help. I need that hope.

I'd say it's 100% guaranteed to do what you believe it will do.

The success rate would be up to you because this affliction is all in the mind, so your cure is all in your mind.

I'm praying that it works for you immediately. The only thing I would say is maybe you shouldn't hurry through it. You need time to absorb it. If it stops the anxiety and gives you tools for living stress free, it's a bargain at any price.

Good luck to you both and God Bless!

I am not familiar w/ the LINDEN METHOD - I am quite familiar w/ this program. I don't know the literal "success rate" of this program - I do know there are almost in-numerable amts of people around the WORLD who have been helped treamendously by this program - myself included. I will, therefore, reference myself, hahaha.

My anxiety disorder triggered in APR 2005. I sought help immediately w/ a psychiatrist. I was "officially" diagnosed w/ anxiety disorer + panic attacks + ptsd. I was told, by my reg dr & my psychiatrist (who had 30+ yrs experience) that I was 1 of the worst cases they had seen. I was literally 2 steps away fr a psych hospital. I could no longer work, anxiety disorder forced my hand. I required the help of medication: anxiety med 3x's per day + 2 sleep aids: I was only averaging 1-2 hrs of sleep, per every 24 hrs. Prior to all this happening, I had never taken anything (nor had I needed to) - maybe antibiotic for flu or advil for pms, hahah It couldn't have gotten much worse for me than it was back then.

I "found" this site & the program very early on - during my journey to recovery. However, due to the initial state I was in back then & the personal issues I needed to address in sessions - this program was beyond me. Basically, in my particular case, I needed to face my past b/4 I could even begin to see the need for me to face/change myself - hence, LUCINDA'S PROGRAM. Long story short(a true miracle w/ me & my gift of GAB hahaha ) I did what & all I needed to do in therapy + self work while @ home & not working. So that, in NOV 2006, I purchased Lucinda's PROGRAM. What honestly happened was this: I was @ home 1 day & said to myself "Lenore, there are things about you that need to change - you are responsible for that". I reached the ever-important level in this journey to recovery of self accountability & self responsibility = the willingness & desire to CHANGE. Emotionally, I was growing up. I was 37 yrs old when anxiety disorder triggered.

I hit the ground running w/ Lucinda's program - no exageration - RECOVERY & FEELING BETTER was my priority. I MADE IT MY PRIORITY - no excuses. I treated it as though I was a student in college - w/ my major being RECOVERY = CHANGING/GROWING/EVOLVING. I was essentially learning a healthier way to think + act + feel + react - un-doing 30+ yrs worth of negative stuff - it isn't & wasn't easy - yet, 100% possible. I say this quite often: a plumber + dr + accountant + nurse + teacher,etc don't just wake up 1 day & BECOME THESE THINGS - rather, they had to LEARN HOW TO - I was no different. I needed to LEARN how to think/act/react/feel more possitively - LUCINDA WAS THERE TO HELP TEACH ME THAT w/ her program. Like college - she wouldn't/couldn't do it for me - I had to want to be there.

I actually did each week @ 2wk's per - if I covered a topic I had trouble w/ - sure I may have gotten frustrated - I researched it via internet + library + books + psychiatrist - I TOOK NOTES. Oh yes, to be honest here - I pulled many a emotional temper tantrums that SHE DIDN'T HAVE MY PROBLEMS - lol just being honest. I got over myself real quick. You see, I realized thru the process of trial & error - that THE MORE I CHANGED, THE BETTER I FELT. So, I focused on that via any & all means possible. Again, Lucinda's program was my ROAD MAP - it gave me the sense of direction I needed. Her program also TAUGHT ME how. I took my time - no rush + didn't focus/dwell on other's recovery or how fast they were doing the program - they weren't me & didn't live my life & weren't feeling/dealing/resolving what I needed to.

Change & recovery is NOT easy & it doesn't come fast. Your attempting to rush thru the program b/4 the 30 day trial period is setting yourself up for un-necessary disappointment & stress(emotionally & physically). I know all too well the absolute desperation in wanting REPRIEVE fr the hell that are anxiety disorder & depression - however, fr my own experience, I share w/ you - in doing so, you are essentially creating add'l anxiety by being so anxious to RUSH THE PROCESS. There is no quick fix w/ recovery - I + she + he + they + them = all other folks who have RECOVERED shall tell you the same thing. Recovery is hard + takes time + consistency + hardwork - day in & day out. Even when you think you've given enough, RECOVERY DEMANDS MORE. However, sweetie, recovery is totally possible - I am proof possitive of that. To boot, I am simply 1 of many - I am NOT the only 1!

People's backgrounds + personal issues + emotional state vary - so, this program may or may not help everyone - or may not be EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE - sure. However, I speak humbly on my behalf. I WAS 1 of the worst of worst. Asides fr the paralizing state I was in - I had to work through issues & emotional pains most couldn't fathom - I lived through things in my childhood that most don't & would shock most(all of which were @ the core of my anxiety disorder & subsequent depression). I had to face & feel all these things if I wanted recovery. I had to face & feel all these things b/4 I was even ready to face myself - b/4 I was even in a position TO SEE THE NEED FOR CHANGE w/ in myself. But, I did.

I started my journey on 5/3/2005 - the date of my very 1st therapy appt w/ my psychiatrist. That is almost 4 years ago. Sure, it may sound like a long time, esp fr the perspective of someone currently experiencing the worst of anxiety disorder & or depression. However, trust me when I say this: 1) the time goes by really quickly 2) it isn't a long time when you take into account where I was + what/all I was feeling + the events I needed to face - the deeply surpressed pains I needed to feel + the 30+ yrs of negative behaviors I had to change & did. I did a lot of great productive stuff during these past 4 yrs. Was it hard - yes. Did it hurt - hardest thing in my life. However, in return for the fruits of my labor - I've gotten TRUE RECOVERY & "INNER-PEACE". I haven't taken an anxiety med or sleep aids in 2 yrs (Dec will be 2 yrs) + this coming Tues will be 4 weeks I haven't taken a depression med + I have ret'd to working USA successfully for the past 7mths + I have gotten healthy physically: hubby & I joined WEIGHT WATCHERS - 3 mths after I was officially diagnosed w/ depression in June of 2007 = I lost 70lbs = going fr size 22 to size 4-6 + I've successfully gone thru therapy: my time w/ my psychiatrist will be coming to an end - prob next Fri - when I see him = I went every single gut wrenching week & never missed 1 scheduled session - I've gaine my EMOTIONAL INDEPENDANCE + I've gone thru Lucina's program TWICE. I continue to grow/evolve/change in the most beautiful way & that's the great thing - it doesn't frighten me + I understand that IS the journey of life = changing/growing/evolving.

I don't know you + your personal issues, etc - I don't know why the Liden Method didn't work for you for I am not familiar w/ it - will this program work for you? Quite possibly - it did me. That is why I gave you some of my story - so that God willing, through me - someone who was 1 of the worst of worst - DID RECOVER - came through on the other side - THIS PROGRAM helped me beyond words I have to describe. For me, Lucinda's Program is a LIFESTYLE = mindset. Her program IS 1 of my most valuable possession, for which I will always have & cherish.

Good luck to you on your journey to recovery.

LENORE

Good for you Lenore. Yes, Heather, I agree with Lenore and I'm just starting my 4th week session today. Been a worrier all my 55 yrs and have had paralyzing anxiety for 25 yrs. Tried everything. I think I was really ready to hear and work Lucinda's program. I know I won't be "cured" overnight but am so much better already. I can finally separate my axiety from my situations. Hope you can find peace, Heather. I know that's what we all want.
