I don't think we would be doing you any favors by saying your letter was a good way to respond. Please take this as constructive criticism, because I hope you do get a job - but what you did was a terrible way to go about it.
If you plan on writing to an employer (or frankly pretty much anyone outside of this or the PUA community), please don't talk about becoming an 'alpha male' - just comes off as weird and even dangerous.
Don't mention a deep rooted anxiety or any other fundamental flaw - no employer will believe you will go away and fix fundamental personality issues in months. They will rather assume that you might just shoot up the place if crap goes wrong.
Saying you will go away and come back with a new personality better suited to the job almost comes off schizophrenic. Employers want 'normal' people, not people who need lots of personality work or people who can totally change their personality [I know, in our context, it is for the better, but just comes off as strange to anyone outside the community]
I think if you actually wanted a job with them and were curious about the reason why the did not hire you, you could have cut out all the alpha and new personality stuff (I am pretty sure they will now never hire you because of it) and asked about why they did not hire you directly or what ways you could improve your resume or work experience in order to become a Psych Tech in the future.
