Gillian Brierley - My Story

"Hello, my name is Gillian Brierley and I feel it necessary to tell you about my life as it was and how it is now. I am 39 years old, married with a delightful little boy. I have suffered from anxiety problems since I can remember, but the last time was particularly bad. It was then that I discovered the Linden Method after hours of trawling around on the internet,and thank God I did!

As you may be, I was very skeptical. It was a lot of money for me to fork out, but I tell you it is worth every last penny! The counseling I had was an absolute Godsend and now I am cured I think it is necessary to put across to all you anxiety sufferers out there that this method is incredible.

I won't bore you about my previous life history but I will tell you what happened to me recently and how thanks to Charles Linden I am now cured.

In June 2004 I was working as a Legal Secretary and the pressure was unreal. I was also having a few minor problems at home, which could have been a trigger to my anxiety. It all happened so quickly and the old horrible feelings came flooding back. I was at work and started to get the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. My throat started to tighten, I couldn't breathe and I went into immediate panic. I went home and things calmed down for a couple of weeks, then started to gradually get worse.

I had to finish working as I would panic at the thought of having to drive down there and be away from my family and my home. I couldn't stand it. My stomach would tighten and churn away. I thought I would feel better at home, but once again things got worse. I started to experience derealisation and depersonalisation all the time. I started to feel claustrophobic in my own home. There was no way I could go into the corner shop without sweating and experiencing all those things you experience now. My heart would be racing, I would feel dizzy and just wanted to run out of the shop. I couldn't even go into my little boy's parent's evening, because the thought of being 'locked in' was just too much and quite unthinkable. I started to rely more and more on other people. I would ask them to go into shops for me and my husband would have to go into School.

One day I had two panic attacks in the space of an hour whilst out walking, however during the second attack I remembered everything which Charles had taught me in the Method and after that last panic attack I have not suffered from one since, nor will I do again. I know that for a fact.

After that last attack things started to get better very very quickly. I was astounded myself! All of a sudden I was going back into shops and into School again. Two weeks after the last attack I was trapped inside the School selling books in the hall. I didn't think twice about it. I go everywhere now. The sensations and symptoms may try and haunt me sometimes, but now I know how to send them on their merry little way. I am now helping other people with anxiety and feel so grateful to Charles and his team. They have been my guardian angels.

If I hadn't stumbled upon Charles and his Method I would probably still have been suffering quietly and 'existing' each day instead of living again. Please don't suffer. Let Charles help you. If you want to get better and you will, you should seriously consider buying the pack. I am living proof it works.

Good luck to you."
