Dear Dr. Youngcat: Life coaching for Improvisors

[youngcat]

My mother always told me I should have been a lawyer or a shrink, because I seem to have a gift for argueing and trying to solve other peoples problems.

Well, I know a lot of you have problems too. Deep emotional scars or simple day to day things that you need a little help dealing with. Since most of us are starving artists (or like to think of ourselves as such) paying for therapy can be expensive.

Obviously I am not a licensed therapist, but you don't need a license to be a LIFE COACH!!! That's right. I want to be your life coach.

Therefore, I am offering my services to the community. Simply PM me your questions, or problems (along with a pseudo name if you'd like to remain anonymous, Doctor client privilege is something I take very seriously) And I'll answer, solve, treat, and fix you.



Think of me as the Dr.Phil of the IRC.

This is not a bit.

Wow! That was quick!

Glad to see that you folks are willing to get the help you need to further yourself and your career. This PM came to me as soon as I posted my first entry!

Dear Dr. Youngcat,

I've had a hard time overcoming sterotypes that were placed on me a long time ago. I used to be a really mean spirited hate spewing venemous machine, but I've learned to curb my hate and anger and am really trying to be nicer, both onstage and off.

However, some people just don't want to believe that I've changed. How can I convince these talentless pea-brained morons that I'm not a bitter person?

Sincerely,

"Will Hines"


Dear "Will Hines"

It seems to me that you're well on your way already. Beileve in yourself and keelp doing what your doing. Also, remember to always tip 20%, and never take that last dollar back when there's money left on the table.

I'll leave you with this.

This business is all bullshit or sunshine. There's no in between. Keep the bullshit in the back of your head when your bathing in the sunshine, and remember the sunshine when your knee deep in the bullshit.

Dr. Youngcat signing off!!

I'll leave you
