Back by popular demand, Christopher's psychiatrist, Jada Butler, joined the show to talk about regular mental health maintenance. After Christopher broke down the prongs of his recovery program, Jada compared those tenets to regular upkeep on our vehicles. Rather than simply waiting for the engine to blow, regular maintenance is key.
As Christopher points out, a program isn't just for people who battle addiction or mental illness. The end game with a program is to make the very most out of our time on Earth, so everyone can benefit from building a list of ways they take care of themselves.
