I was joined in the studio by Jack Pridmore, mental health advocate, TV Z-lister (his words, not mine) and published author. His book, ‘Life on the other side’ – is not just one book, but two! – a book written from a lived experience perspective. A ‘guide’ on seeking recovery from mental health problems, or for individuals supporting someone that is struggling with their MH.
The book delves into different modes of recovery in realistic situations and provides a refreshingly honest, open, humorous and positive guide on how he found his version of recovery from mental health and addiction.
Having seen life with and without recovery. Jack shared his vibrant story so that you can learn from his mistakes rather than your own.
We discussed work, school, life, love, self care, crisis, anxiety, health anxiety and OCD. Jack provided practical help and advice, fostering hope which we all need when going through difficulties.
