Sound Mind Live and Consequence of Sound present Going There. Hosted by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Mike, the weekly series aims to create a safe space for musicians to have honest, healthy conversations about mental health. Each episode covers the experience of artists and creatives as it pertains to specific issues, be it depression, anxiety, addiction, whatever they bring to the table. In the end, the goal is to de-stigmatize these topics and learn from each other. So, join us at the crossroads where music and mental health meet.

    I love this podcast
    Bipolar disorder is something that a lot of people don’t talk openly about. On Alicia Bognanno’s episode on her bipolar, I’ve never felt so understood. I’ve never had anyone describe the struggle of bipolar so accurately. It was healing for me and I’m so grateful Dr. Mike has addressed it on his podcast. The more the better! Thank you so much for all you do! Hearing about other people that are bipolar and on the struggle-bus helps my mental health tremendously.
  • xpolamalu_43x
    Super insightful
    I’m really loving this podcast of Dr. Mike’s. The topics of discussion on mental health issues with various artists is helpful and great to listen to!!
  • Mitch Pileggi
    The Dr. Is in!
    Dr. Mike has the voice of an angel and the ears of the greatest friend you never knew you had. Hearing these stories on a weekly basis has been a great escape from the terror and anxiety of 2020. More please!
  • BlueTantawy
    Perfect
    I'm in love with the series
  • CoS Fan
    So insightful, so important!
    It’s so important to have discussions about mental health. Dr. Mike is such a caring and sensitive host, who is as compelling as he is informative. Just a great show all around.
  • SthomasB
    Helpful, interesting, important
    Musicians accompany us through the best of times, the worst of times. We often forget that the highs and lows of songs often reflect what’s going on with the artists. This podcast helps musicians and fans learn how to improve and maintain mental health, which allows the creation and appreciation of the music that is the soundtrack to our lives.
  • Mx. Spring
    Very open discussions on mental illness
    Wow, this series dives deep into mental health issues with artists baring their souls. Thank you so much for bringing forward such candor and helping us all move forward to normalize talking about mental health.
  • Cbullz
    Loved this!
    So interesting to hear a more intimate perspective on Shamir, and learn more about bipolar disorder.
