On this episode of Going There, Dr. Mike speaks with sisters Natalie, Allison, and Meegan, otherwise known as the band Joseph. You may know Joseph from songs such as “White Flag” “Green Eyes” and “Side Effects.” Joseph has appeared on shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ellen, and Conan, and has played music festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. One album review described their music as an appealing mix of swoony delicacy and punchy anthems. The band just released their new album called The Sun, which includes the song “Nervous System.” Joseph is in the middle of a North American tour, then will be playing a series of shows in Europe in October. Check out Joseph’s music, tour dates and merchandise at Thebandjoseph.com.

Joseph joins host Dr. Mike Friedman to talk about how we interpret the physical sensations associated with having a panic attack and stress as well as how the band’s song “Nervous System” is a description of intense anxiety.
