A young woman's group of friends. They (the woman included) are to be thought of as one body. No one in the group does anything without everyone else's knowledge and/or approval. They use each other's eyes, ears, and minds collectively to figure out information and make decisions.
The term is most commonly used in a High School setting, but can also apply elsewhere.
“I once went out with a young man from Queens who only dated older women because younger ladies, he found, couldn’t do a thing without checking in with 15 of their friends. When you date a younger woman, he said, you also date all her friends, and it’s “a pain in the fucking ass.” You can’t just go out and do your own thing because she must receive approval from a larger governing body. A slightly more mature lady has friends—but she sure as shit doesn’t need their permission to live her life.”

Get the Thumb Herdingmug. Herd therapy occurs when a large enough portion of a population undergoes therapy or counseling and thereafter has the tools and vocabulary to aid those around them who haven't gone to therapy.
As a person who's never seen a therapist, Rick certainly is in touch with his emotions. Perhaps it's because everyone around him has. He's undergone herd therapy.
