The episode is titled “STRESS-PROOF” but it looks like Chris is far from that notion as he eyes a 900-foot-tall skyscraper. He’s been challenged to walk along a crane off the edge of the building and Chris admits that he’s scared to death.

Luckily for him, Dr. Akinola has the tools to walk him through the challenge and assures him that he’s in good hands while they explore how we can use physical and psychological techniques to protect ourselves against the impact chronic stress has on our lives.

“This isn’t about the feat of it, this is about preparing you to be able to manage and be present with the emotions that you’re feeling right now,” says Dr. Akinola.
She adds that Chris has to train his mindset to embrace the stress so that it won’t “kill him later.”
