This is a fantastic, down-to-Earth summary of neurobiology and the basics of the nervous system. As a clinical counselor, I would personally feel uncomfortable recommending some of these exercises or interventions to my clients because they seem more medical than I am qualified to attempt, but at the same time these things are so needed and so useful. I do wonder if it might be a little much for a layperson; but someone who is deeply committed to healing would be able to digest this. The illustrations are beautiful, the information is presented in a cohesive manner, and it could certainly be helpful for a person who has the tools to digest the comprehensive material.
