Dr. Helen McKibben's approach combines the study of the body, the brain, and the interaction between emotion and memory. She created the technique of dropping to the blank screen after noticing two significant recurring needs among her clients. First was the need to learn how to manage triggered emotions, and second was understanding the root causes of their feelings.

Dr. McKibben earned her doctorate in psychology from California Southern University. Her 35 years of clinical work include licensure in seven states and the District of Columbia, where she has her private practice.

Before releasing her debut nonfiction, DROP: Making Great Decisions, Dr. McKibben published her study of therapeutic movement among Parkinson's patients and an article on distraction in youth sports. For busy people on the go, Dr. McKibben's "Feelings Management Podcast" streams about emotions and how to effectively manage them.

Drop: Making Great Decisions

by Dr. Helen McKibben - Nonfiction, Personal Growth, Self-Help

Use neuroscience to retrain your brain and make better life choices. Dr. Helen McKibben's approach combines the study of the body, the brain, and the interaction between emotion and memory. She enables us to tap into the biomechanics of emotions, resolve triggered feelings and make better life choices. DROP is filled with interviews that illustrate how real people have applied this method to their lives. Dr. McKibben guides us through her revolutionary and innovative self-help technique of dropping to the blank screen to learn how to manage triggered feelings and to understand why we feel the way we do. By monitoring neuromuscular signals that indicate unconscious triggered emotions, we can work with the brain rather than against it. She teaches us a practical, self-reliant method to retrain our brains and change our responses to life's stressors.
