Sigmund Fraud

Bryce is a middle manger at a start-up who has a last name, but as his chosen family is two accountants, he doesn't always share it freely. Clearly Bryce would have a lot to discuss with a real therapist, but instead by choosing to see a Sigmund Fraud like Ian Herrin, Bryce seems condemned to a life of constantly questioning if he's good enough or has any real friends. Keep talking to that person who could be your new commuting buddy, Bryce! And maybe find a bit more work life balance so that COAs, APIs, users, and all that junky tech startup stuff become but a distant memory of who he used to be, how he used to be, when he used to be that person, where that person used to be......

P.S. Most of the folks we talk about not being on house teams six years ago eventually made it onto house teams! Hooray!! Remember that auditions are not fair ways to evaluate improvisers, all casting is arbitrarily based on who you already know, and that the real reason to do this stuff is the love of the game and no AD should ever decide your worth for you. Stay kind to each other out there as yet another audition season at UCB comes to a close!

Regional manager of a Bed, Bath, and Beyond Henry Edwards has had it up to here with his ungrateful employees. But rather than examining whether or not he might be the problem, don't you know that selfish Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin is immediately ready to blame Henry's employees and let the boss off the hook. And wouldn't you know the conversation turns to plotting violence again awful quick??

Bingey St. Darlin' has a very unique dating life that up until this point has been successfully kept a secret. And if there's one person that's always unqualified to give relationship advice of any kind, it's that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin.

Private Investigator Richard Drummond has yet another case he just can't seem to crack, and a gruesome, complicated one at that. But why on Earth would such a grizzled ex-cop ever think such a Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin would ever be able to help?? Does Ian reach for some conclusions? Sure. Emphasis on reach. And just because you've found a conclusion doesn't mean it's the right one. Don't trust him, Drummond! Follow your own instincts and chase your own clues!!

Clark Winston seems to be a regular lovely guy that just needs a little help talking to his wife about his fear of riding a horse before his upcoming vacation. But when that Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin gets involved, metaphor after metaphor seems to confuse Clark down a dangerous and potentially lethal path.

Filmmaker Miranda Cross and her crew have a secret long since forgotten at the Holiday Inn Express, but clearly it still weighs heavily on her mind. But with a no good Sigmund Fraud of a therapist like Ian Herrin on her case, Miranda seems like she's going to lean into some bad behaviors at Ian's behest. There are certain sins that are worth breaching therapist-patient confidentiality over and this most certainly should qualify!

Eccentric rich man Pickles Johannesberg is up to so many nefarious undertakings it's truly tricky to keep track of all the mischief afoot. And Ian Herrin is such a terrible Sigmund Fraud of a therapist he seems to act more as Pickles' accomplice than a guardian of mental health should. Children deserve to know who their father is and some Jimmy's deserve hats. And even if Pickles is a little Wario like, he probably doesn't want to hear it from someone he's trusting in a therapy setting. If you or a loved one encounter Pickles in the wild, run away before he dandelions!!

And wouldn't you know, by seeing that Sigmund Fraud Ian Herrin as a therapist, he's only going to make it worse on himself? Maybe accessing your inner boss toddler isn't always a good thing! If HR doesn't get along with you, perhaps going to war isn't the best idea! And no matter what you do, NEVER make your role model a friggin' DJ!!!

Frankie is a slightly susceptible guy just checking in from his tour in New Orleans to talk about his indigestion, but something more sinister seems to be going on. Something so dark that the Sigmund Fraud of a therapist Ian Herrin will likely never be able to control. You need professional help, Frankie! It was more than just a meatball sub! And I'm pretty sure Ian stole at least $10 from you!!
