I learned there is a category of science research called, “Interpersonal Neurobiology,” (IPNB) that brings together over 12 disciplines of science to explore “all ways of being and knowing.” For psychology nerds, this book is a fascinating introduction to IPNB and for those interested in learning more, Heidi quotes her favorite IPNB books in her reference section. For a lay-person, some of the neuroscience terminology especially in the chapter on brain integration could seem too technical.
I think the book would especially appeal to male caregivers as it is a science-focused, self-care tool. I would have liked to have heard more about Heidi’s experience as a caregiver, rather than a few short snippets throughout the book. Heidi speaks nationally on stress reduction, brain health, and intimacy. More information about her can be found at her blog: www.HeidiCrockett.com
