When he was 18, Nate's mother died of breast cancer (he swears this show is funny). She was a beloved Chicago therapist; brilliant, generous, artistic and magic wizard lady. There was almost nothing she couldn't do. Except one thing: she never told anyone she was dying, no one got to grieve with her, no one got to say goodbye. Years later, Nate's therapist suggested Gestalt Therapy's empty chair technique: speak to the dead, then respond as them. Nate said, Absolutely Not. Years later, acting now gives him the tools to step into his mom's voice and unspoken wounds.
