Dr. Amy Banks, a leading expert in the neurobiology of relationships, joins Eric Zimmer on 'The One You Feed' to shed light on this very question. With her extensive background, including teaching psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and directing advanced training at the Jean Baker Miller Training Institute, Amy brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. She introduces the C.A.R.E.
