My character and psychology analysis of Brian Johnson from the John Hughes classic The Breakfast Club, played by Anthony Michael Hall. This video essay provides deeper meaning and emotional understanding to the behaviour and psychology of Brian, considering not just his archetype but his more complex internal world. This is episode 4 in my "therapist analyzes The Breakfast Club characters", however. There's still Claire, Vernon, Carl, and then probably a final wrap-up video before we reach the end.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
