Going There with Dr. Mike is back with a brand new season of the biggest names in music having impactful, honest conversations about mental health. This season on Going There, look forward to guests including The Warning, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Marino, Matt Hansen, and more.

In this episode of Going There, singer-songwriter and musician Paris Paloma joins host Dr. Mike Friedman for a candid conversation about the lovelessness of patriarchy and the harm it does to men and women alike. Together they discuss how patriarchy and other social structures can shape mental health by creating arbitrary expectations that limit how women and men understand, express, and cope with emotions. They also discuss the phrase "It's not that deep" and the value of communicating your feelings, even when it comes out ugly.
