Therapists and Ted Lasso may have more in common than you’d think. Both have a knack for dropping surprisingly insightful one-liners about emotions, relationships, vulnerability, self-doubt, and what it means to be human.
But can you actually tell them apart?
Below are quotes from Ted Lasso mixed with quotes from therapists and psychologists. Some come from famous names in psychology. A few come from a considerably less famous therapist: me.
Some will be obvious. Others might make you wonder whether Ted missed his true calling.
Ready? Let’s see how well you know your therapy wisdom—and your Ted Lasso.
So, how did you do? If you couldn’t tell the therapists from Ted Lasso, I’m not sure what that says about therapists. Or Ted Lasso. Either way, hopefully you learned something, laughed at least once, and now have a few good quotes to pull out the next time someone needs unsolicited life advice. Share your score, and send the quiz to someone who thinks they can do better. Bonus points if they’re a therapist.
