Joseph Lekkas of Palm Ghosts

Joseph Lekkas of Palm Ghosts guests on episode 86. Host Jason Schreurs talks to Joseph about how his work in the music business caused his anxiety to skyrocket into panic attacks and social anxiety. After recuperating from a horrible bout of agoraphobia and depression, Joseph was able to return to creating and recording his own music, a much-needed form of therapy.
