I am unsure of what to think or feel, I think the psychologist is portrayed less than swimminingly, first off she comes across as very disagreeable, egotistical, and generally unpleasant.
Ted has had a previous bad experience with a psychologist the show does nothing to prove to him that all psychologist don't have something off about them.
Furthurmore I feel the show gives off the impression that psychologists can solve a persons issues in a single session, I have never been to a psychologist nor do I have need of one, so perhaps I am wrong in this assessment but that is not how I think psychology works, for the human brain is not wired, so far as my understanding goes, to change it's ways easilly.
All in all it wasn't a bad first episode, though a departure from what Season 1 was all about. I wonder will the psychologist lady be the Rebecca of Season 2, in that she was not particularly likeable at the start but grows on us and is a beloved character by the end? Or is it going to be the opposite. Where she changes not, but Ted has his mind changed, dear me would I dislike that pathway, Ted Lasso (the show) has surprised me positively before so hopefully this will be one of these times. I couldn't stand it if Ted learns to respect all psychologists while the psychologist herself doesn't grow, i.e by letting go of her own egotism.
