INTERRUPTED

Dr. Jodee Gibson, PCC

Developmental Health Researcher and
Originator of Interrupted Emotional Development Theory

From teen mom to PhD, my work was built on one belief: mental health challenges are not always disorders to be labeled and medicated, they're simply evidence of interrupted development. Given the right environment, development can always resume.

We believe the mental health crisis has a simpler explanation...

We challenge the status quo by teaching educators, clinicians, and behavioral health systems to look at developmental origins rather than the symptomatic surface.

Behavior is not the problem.

It’s simply evidence of development.
