Yes, please keep reviewing Ted Lasso. There’s so many aspects of the characters that would benefit from a psychiatrist’s take.

yessssss! there’s far too few people reacting to ted lasso, especially the therapy and mental health aspects

To be fair we found out in the most recent episode that his former marriage therapist is now dating his ex wife. So based on that I would say he has a very good reason why he doesn't trust therapists.

Great video, hope you keep doing Ted Lasso! I just love how it portrays kindness and understanding in a positive light and not as a weakness and how characters support each other throughout, and doesn't shy away from mental health issues at the same time.

I'd really like your perspective on the hug between Roy Kent and Jamie in season 2.

I’m so happy you’re doing Ted Lasso! One of my absolutely favourite shows.

This show, Bojack, and Six Feet Under are my 3 favorite shows of all time. The fact you've broken down 2 of my favorites now is fantastic. Thank you for the amazing content.

Did anyone else catch on what Ted said about his old couples therapist - that his wife had "been going to [them] for a while," and then he joined the sessions for couples therapy later on? With the same therapist? I haven't watched the show so don't know if it's addressed, but I certainly understand why Ted would feel judged in that situation. The therapist already having an existing relationship with his partner when he's being brought in would probably be uncomfortable at the very least.

!!!!!! omg you have no idea how happy seeing this notification made me !! i love this show so much and there’s a ton of interesting mental health stuff to talk about for a bunch of the characters !

My favourite show!! This show has been such a comfort on some of my most difficult days, and the inclusion of not only discussions around mental health and recovery, but the range of issues that they've touched on has made it such a lovely and cathartic watch for me. Thank you so much for covering it - I was so excited to see this video in my sub list ❤

Finding out that one of the creators of this show is Bill Lawrence (creator of Scrubs) just made so much sense. It has the same ability to go from making you laugh, to bawling your eyes out at the drop of a hat.

The origins of many phobias remain unknown, or at least not always the result of classical conditioning or operant conditioning. However, PTSD here as meets the DSM criteria. Great explanation of therapy - in ACT, the aim is "not to feel better, but to get better at feelings". Video Informative as ever.

Please more. I love Ted Lasso and relish any opportunity for professionals insights into it. It feels like it really went in deep analyzing the psychology of each player. I'd especially like your opinion of Nate as he displays a lot of negative behaviors I used to feel when it comes to self resentment and taking things out on others.

I used to have a fear of dogs because I was bitten on the nose as a kid and so was terrified of being bitten again leading me to avoid all dogs. I grew up with a dog who had to be put down when I was 10 months old and then developed a huge fear after that bite because of that connection my brain made between dogs and being bitten. I love dogs now and am totally over my fear and have a dog of my own and love all dogs, no matter the size or breed, but it definitely took some time to break that connection in my brain.

Love reacting to TV therapists!!! Especially Ted Lasso season 2. I remember it had such great therapy represented

I am an American psychiatric nurse with my own mental health history. I had a significant "psychiatric crisis" breakdown in 2020 and was misdiagnosed with bipolar r/o borderline PD at 55 years old by an incompetent young psychiatrist. My life has been a long hard rode since then (4 years) - trying to prove to myself and everyone else that I'm not crazy. I feel incredibly betrayed by the system that was supposed to protect people from "going insane" - I wasn't "crazy" until the "experts" labeled me and took over my life. I discovered Ted Lasso early in my recovery (summer 2020) and have been a huge fan ever since. The show was instrumental in not feeling so pathologized. I get frustrated when mental health experts use harmful psycho-babble to describe NORMAL trauma responses... ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PUSH DANGEROUS MEDICATIONS to "treat" normal human reactions. I was coerced into taking lithium and Seroquel. The medications just made my symptoms worse. Four years later and I'm still trying to wean off the Seroquel. It's unconscionable that psychiatrists peddle these drugs without any concern for the victims of psychiatry's misinformation campaign. "Cognitive distortions" is a dehumanizing phrase - just like all the made up labels in the DSM. I'm only halfway through your "reaction", and I am so triggered that I can't watch any more. You very clearly have not taken any time to listen to the thousands (millions) of people who feel incredibly harmed by mainstream psychiatry. Please check out your British colleagues Sami Timimi and Joanna Moncrief (I will put links below). You seem like an intelligent well-meaning doctor, but you have clearly been brainwashed by the cult of psychiatry to believe that you are doing good when in actuality you are causing harm. Please stop listening to other "experts" like yourself and start listening to the REAL EXPERTS - the victims of the system. www.samitimimi.co.uk joannamoncrieff.com The best thing about Ted Lasso is it NORMALIZES anxiety, panic attacks, trauma being universal and the characters MODEL empathy, self-reflection, self-awareness, HEALTHY NARCISSISM, and, especially GROWTH (something that medications and so many"therapeutic" methods like DBT and even most CBT prevent). Fortunately there is not a single mention of 12-steps despite the heavy drinking throughout the series. 12-Step "Recovery" is an abomination that needs to be dismantled and put in the bin of history - along with so many other outdated psychiatric "beliefs". I'm almost 60 and I am appalled that young medical, nursing, and mental health students/professionals are still learning the same garbage they were learning back in the 80s before we understood that mental health issues are NOT primarily biological/genetic. Please, please, please start questioning your practices. We need more young professionals to start listening to the narratives of those who us who have been harmed so we can stop the horrific descent into a world where everyone has a psychiatric diagnosis and everyone is medicated to keep us controlled. If you've never taken an anti-psychotic, your should NOT be prescribing them to people who don't want to take them. Some of my own writing if you are interested in learning more from someone who has "been there" - on BOTH sides of the psychiatric bed. medium.com/@tarasierralee_57910/addiction-genetics-and-comorbidities-what-the-experts-arent-telling-you-17ed306bd6a2 medium.com/@tarasierralee_57910/high-needs-child-is-an-abusive-label-neurodiversity-is-a-myth-da6dc4334b82 medium.com/@tarasierralee_57910/harvard-university-mass-general-addiction-conference-2023-what-could-possibly-go-wrong-b0e7ced83ea2 medium.com/@tarasierralee_57910/creating-safe-spaces-a-guide-for-human-beings-especially-self-identified-empaths-or-philosophers-5acea82cfa medium.com/@tarasierralee_57910/suicide-prevention-paying-attention-to-the-red-flags-in-the-victims-of-narcissistic-abuse-8b5d455bd5d4

Please make more! I’m so excited for you to see the rest of it

One of the best reactions I’ve seen! More please.

You're back with another video! 😄 Thank u for the educational point of view on things with these videos you make. I hope you're having a good day, and I'm sorry to hear u lost subscribers. I hope your channel recovers from that and brings other people in who enjoy this type of content. Also, one last thing, what do u think would happen if a psychopath and sociopath meet each other in the same room or wherever they meet¿

Baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson was pitching during the preseason 34 years ago and he hit a mourning dove at 100 mph and all you see is feathers. Johnson is now a professional photographer and - and this is true - his photography logo is of a dead cartoon bird. In the only video of it you only see feathers, not any bird, so it’s not a traumatic video if you wanted to look it up. It is bananas.

Yes! Been waiting for this!

Very perceptive to notice Ted's discomfort with therapists in the past. I just took it to be normal reluctance to a new thing. So good performance on the actor's part and good pickup on your part.

I adore Ted lasso, please yes continue reacting

Yes, finally some Ted Lasso! That was so nice, more please ♥

Ngl, when I heard Ted Lasso was talking about football, I thought American football instead of "football" football. Also good to know not to say soccer in England lol But this really makes me wanna check out Ted Lasso cause I didn't know there was mental health in it. Poor guy, I can't help but laugh at his trauma. But I can't wait to see how he develops throughout this show

I would be SO fascinated to see you react to addiction, childhood trauma and PTSD in the show Patrick Melrose (starring benedict cumberbatch and tragically underrated). The show covers his life over quite a large time span and I personally think it does a phenomenal job of showing how harrowing addiction can be without bordering on implying total helplessness for its victims (unlike say euphoria where they sometimes tipped a bit too far into it being ‘wired’ and totally fixed).

yes pleaseee! we need part 2

I love that the show runner of Scrubs was the show runner on this.

It would be great if you responded to Shrinking it’s about therapists. Forgot to mention great Ted lasso response. Love Dr Sharon. She’s the opposite of Ted. Keep it up because when Ted gets into therapy it’s so uncomfortable, prevarication, fight and flight. One thing she says to him is that the truth will set him free but first it will piss him off. Oh boy that resonates! Keep going I’ve really enjoyed this - subscribed!

Insights doesn’t equal change… amen

Fun fact: I was still grieving my dog's death (she died a year before but she was my best friend, she did not die in a traumatic way, she died of cancer at 12.5 years old ) while watching that first episode of season 2. That episode wrecked me.....

Now I have to go back and re-watch season 2. Today I complained about starting counseling using Ted’s logic about paying a stranger almost verbatim. Dammit. 😐

Please keep reviewing. It's so good.

I'm so excited you are doing this! (but no Season 3 spoilers please!!!)

Yesss keep it up with the ted lasso you need to do a video on Nate at some point, who do you support btw?

I think it would be really interesting to see you react to anime like Durarara, there are alot of vastly diverse personalities and characters throughout the anime and alot of topics that can be covered, from narcissistic personality disorder, to the vast array of ways people react to stress and stress responses as a whole, to intermittent explosive disorder and management of emotions, to ptsd, and even split personality disorder

Yeah! More Ted please

You must watch the Belgium movie Close. I would love to hear your perspective on it and the fragile nature of friendship

This was VERY good!

So it looks like I should watch this show. Would not have guessed. Working in hospitality, and now retail, I have way too much fun casually talking about how it's unloud. If anyone objects, then it's doubleplus unloud because if you skirt around something it creeps up on you.

yess yess Yess love this!!

Favorite teams! Go!

I greatly appreciate your resistance to the natural temptation of doing a Ted Lasso/American accent imitation. Like many people, I find most foreigners' attempts at others' accent to be condescending and patronizing. Read into this what you will, in your capacity as a mental health professional.... Inferiority complex, over-inflated sense of self (flip side of the same coin), or perhaps I simply take offense at being lampooned. My natural accent is similar to the Ted Lasso character, although I can formalize my speech, or through travel exposure, code switch to other regional American accents. Nevertheless, I am sensitive to the perception that people who sound like me are unsophisticated and cartoonish. Thank you for not piling on.

Keep going, there are more great therapy-related scenes in season 2, and one particular one in season 3 so far.

After Ted Lasso check out Shrinking.

Amazing video

"It's all about healthy outlet folks" I hear as I try to numb myself with alcohol after a break up. Hilarious

An excellent show for a psychiatrist to react to would be Brockmire. Unless it would just be too easy.

Am I being dense? What's the "Q word"?

I'm sorry, is that a picture of jinkx And Dela in the background?!😅🙈

The clip volume felt a little lower than usual.

Please react to a song - Ren: Hi Ren - A song from a singer-songwriter with psychosis and autoimmune disease about his inner conflict and how to live with it.

I'm sure you know by now that Ted had every reason to suspect the therapist in his marriage. I would have sued him and tried to get him removed from his profession. Totally unprofessional. I think the healthiest thing I ever saw on this show was when Jamie tart said why would I want to be anything else on me. That was a good line!

im in healthcare but i don't know what the Q word is. i purposefully went to molecular and cellular to avoid having to deal w humans, so maybe that's why?

What was your mcat score

Anyone else clock Jinkx and DeLa in the back?

Ok but whyyy tf did that guy let his dog off his leash? And at that exact moment? To be fair I haven’t seen the show sooo maybe I’m missing some context?

What is the Q-word?

Can you react to greys anatomy?

MORE

Love ya, bye!

What's THE Q WORD?

I love your analyses but you really have to coddle us. I had to Google the "Q word."

What’s the q word😊

You will not offend one american viewer, speaking as an american. We gotta hear you try it

I have such deep issues with animals being harmed, especially as a tool for humor... i know it's disproportionate to the population, but it makes me feel an unexplainabpe level of.. i dunno. Was excited about this. Think I'm just too broken for this. Everyone laughs at me not being able to deal with this.. really bummed... maybe i can watch it later when i know the context. I know you're sweet, and i know you'll probably be helpful for self reflection, but i cannot overstate how much this makes me feel hopeless... aware it's a me issue, trolls, but if you wanna be unoriginal, go for it. Just gonna think youre a dick I'm glad i don't have to know irl.
