On this archival episode, indie pop band MUNA join Going There to discuss the potentially harmful effects rigid, binary thinking can have on our mental health and well-being. Listen to their insights now.

The trio of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson explore how the skills of love and acceptance are vital to our mental health journey, especially as we work on the things that we would like to change. The band talks about how being more loving and accepting towards ourselves gives us the power to pursue such changes. Whether it's exploring and improving our general mental health or understanding our gender identity and sexuality, one must approach issues with patience and curiosity rather than harshness and critique.

Listen to MUNA chat about all of this and more in the new episode of Going There with Dr. Mike.
