Ted Lasso’s Emotional Therapy Scene Assessed By Real Therapist

Ted Lasso‘s emotional therapy scene gets assessed by a real therapist. Despite Ted’s (Jason Sudeikis) otherwise optimistic demeanor, he was rather resistant to therapy, and even reacted negatively to the idea of it. His reluctance to open up emerges with the addition of Dr. Sharon Fieldstone (Sharon Niles). Although he begins by mocking Sharon’s profession, he eventually relents, and the two characters develop a genuine bond that is especially showcased in the season 2 episode “No Weddings and a Funeral,” which has Ted opening up about losing his father.
