After you do this for a few months your brain gets used to the idea that you don't need to rush to your safe space. It is actually a training process. Actually, doing this a few time you will notice benefit. You know how you get over the fear of flying? BY FLYING a lot and working through the anxiety while on the plane. Go ahead, live in denial for all I care.
Still making those far out presumptions, I see. Some things never change.

The Linden Method is only one method of inducing deep behavioural change. And it's only mildly effective. Most of your thoughts and actions arise from subconscious beliefs. Linden's assuming those will correct automatically if you just "fake it till you make it"... Research has shown that isn't a reliable way of treating anxiety. Which is probably why despite 25 years in business and "thousands of cures" he's never managed to provide reliable evidence his theory works. (He makes you believe he has, though, by using self-funded studies).

I'm not going to tell you that better posture, breathing, exercise and zest for life are bad for anxiety. They're not. But anybody who says there's one way to cure anxiety and theirs is it is a snakeoil salesman.
