About Emotional Flatlining

Jackie Kelm founded Appreciative Living before getting anhedonia over 20 years ago. She attempted to use it to overcome anhedonia, or what she calls Emotional Flatlining, but it did not work. So she studied the condition more deeply and created the brain training program we offer here which worked for her and others.
