The Magic of Ted Lasso

06 June 2023/in Anger, Blog, Boundaries, Mindfulness, Podcast, Self Love, Therapy/by Megan Bartley

Megan and Rob are back with Season 1, Episode 27 of the SOS Podcast, where they talk about their weekend plans and the idea of “calling your shot” as seen in the popular show Ted Lasso. Megan shares her recent experience of appearing on live TV and feeling confident in her performance, while Rob hints at a personal accomplishment related to hypnosis. The hosts delve into the benefits of Ericksonian hypnosis, which Megan is studying and finds to be a natural and effective form of healing.

 

Ted Lasso inspires natural healing.

Ted Lasso, the popular television series, has become a source of inspiration for natural healing. The show’s main character, Ted Lasso, is a positive and optimistic coach who inspires his team to reach their full potential. His message of positivity and kindness has resonated with viewers and has even inspired some to explore natural healing techniques.

 

One of the most memorable scenes from the show is when Ted Lasso is at a bar with the owner of the club and her ex-husband. He talks about the importance of not judging others and being curious. He even calls his shot in a game of darts, choosing “barbecue sauce” as his target. This scene has become a symbol of the show’s message of positivity and optimism and has inspired many to adopt a similar mindset.

 

Megan has been inspired by Ted Lasso’s message of natural healing. She is currently studying the Ericksonian hypnosis technique, which is based on neuroscience and gene expression. This technique is more conversational and indirect than traditional hypnosis and focuses on natural healing through positive suggestion and visualization.

 

Megan sees the Ericksonian hypnosis technique as the epitome of natural healing. It is a way to tap into the body’s natural healing abilities and to promote positive change through positivity and suggestion. She believes that this technique can be a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their mental and physical health.

 

The message of Ted Lasso is one of positivity, kindness, and natural healing. The show has inspired many to adopt a similar mindset and to explore natural healing techniques like the Ericksonian hypnosis technique. By promoting positivity and kindness, Ted Lasso has become a symbol of hope and healing for many and has inspired a new generation of natural healers.

 

Ericksonian therapy.

Ericksonian therapy is a form of hypnosis that focuses on storytelling and shifting perspectives. This technique is often used to help people get unstuck and to facilitate aha moments. In the show, Ted Lasso, the titular character exhibits many traits that align with Ericksonian therapy. For example, he often tells stories and uses metaphors to teach lessons, allowing the listener to come up with their own answers and perspectives. This technique is effective because it allows the listener to wire the lesson into their brain in a more meaningful way.

 

Ted Lasso’s coaching team also exhibits traits of Ericksonian therapy. Each member has their own specific role, and Ted doesn’t get into a hardcore, tell-you-what-to-do parental role. Instead, he trusts his team to come up with their own solutions and perspectives. This promotes a sense of collaboration and trust, which are important aspects of Ericksonian therapy.

 

In addition to promoting positivity and kindness, Ted Lasso also explores natural healing techniques like EMDR. While EMDR is not technically part of Ericksonian therapy, it does share some similarities. For example, both techniques focus on shifting perspectives and facilitating aha moments. In the show, Ted inadvertently teaches others to adopt these techniques, promoting natural healing and self-discovery.

 

Overall, Ted Lasso is a great example of how positivity, kindness, and natural healing techniques can be effective in promoting mental health and well-being. By exploring Ericksonian therapy and other natural healing techniques, the show has inspired a new generation of healers and therapists who prioritize collaboration, trust, and kindness in their work.

 

Hypnosis is not mind control.

One of the techniques explored in the podcast is hypnosis, which has often been misunderstood as a form of mind control. However, the episode explains that hypnosis is actually a way of helping individuals relax their conscious thinking just enough so that their subconscious can come into play and either make sense of things or help find order or give more information. It is not about controlling someone’s thoughts or actions, but rather about creating an environment that is accepting, compassionate, and open, and allowing individuals to find their own answers.

 

The podcast also emphasizes that hypnosis is not a one-size-fits-all solution and that everyone processes information differently. Some people are visual learners or processors, while others are audio or kinesthetic feeling-based. Hypnosis, therefore, needs to be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and preferences.

 

Megan and Rob also touch on the power of storytelling in hypnosis. They explain that it doesn’t matter what the story is, but rather the storyteller’s positive trance that invites listeners to also go into a positive trance, making them more willing to hear what is being said. This is similar to how Ted Lasso’s positivity and enthusiasm create a positive environment that inspires and motivates those around him.

 

Remember, hypnosis is not mind control, but rather a natural healing technique that can be effective in promoting mental health and well-being. It is about creating an environment that is accepting, compassionate, and open, and allowing individuals to find their own answers. By understanding and embracing the power of hypnosis, we can help individuals overcome mental health challenges and lead happier and more fulfilling lives.

 

Flexibility in mindfulness practice.

Megan and Rob discuss the concept of flexibility in mindfulness practice. The Mindfulness Center, as the name suggests, aims to help individuals become more mindful, but not necessarily in a rigid or prescriptive way. The center’s therapists do not take an expert role or give advice but rather empower the client to find their own solutions. This approach is based on the idea that individuals have the capacity to activate their subconscious and heal themselves, with the therapist serving as a guide rather than a director.

 

They also highlight the importance of flexibility in the practice of mindfulness. While mindfulness techniques such as breathing exercises can be helpful, they are not the only way to become more mindful. The center’s therapists use a variety of approaches, including Ericksonian techniques, to help clients become more mindful in their own way. This flexibility allows individuals to find what works best for them and to develop their own mindfulness practice.

 

The concept of flexibility in mindfulness practice is important because it recognizes that each individual is unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mindfulness. By allowing individuals to find their own way of becoming more mindful, the center empowers them to take control of their own mental health and well-being. This approach is in line with the idea of hypnosis as a natural healing technique that promotes mental health and well-being by creating an environment that is accepting, compassionate, and open.

 

Flexibility in mindfulness practice is essential for promoting mental health and well-being. By empowering individuals to find their own way of becoming more mindful, the Mindfulness Center helps them take control of their own mental health and well-being. This approach is in line with the power of hypnosis as a natural healing technique that can help individuals overcome mental health challenges and lead happier and more fulfilling lives.

 

Positive mindset leads to growth.

Megan and Rob discuss the power of positive mindset and how it can lead to growth and progress in various aspects of life. They emphasize the importance of shifting one’s thinking to see a bigger rainbow of options instead of being rigid in one’s beliefs and choices. By doing so, individuals can become more flexible and open-minded in their decision-making, leading to better outcomes and personal growth.

 

Megan and Rob also draw parallels between the positive mindset of the character Ted Lasso in the TV series and the benefits of having a positive trance in one’s personal and professional life. Ted Lasso’s intention to help his players become better human beings, not just better players, is a testament to the power of positive mindset and how it can impact those around us.

 

Furthermore, they highlight the importance of values and their crucial role in shaping our mindset and actions. By staying true to our values and beliefs, we can maintain a positive trance and create positive interactions with others.

 

In conclusion, the podcast reinforces the idea that a positive mindset leads to growth and progress in various aspects of life. By being flexible, open-minded, and true to our values, we can create positive interactions with others and promote our mental health and well-being. The power of a positive mindset and hypnosis as a natural healing technique can help individuals overcome mental health challenges and lead happier and more fulfilling lives.

 

Goodbye and thanks, Megan.

However, Megan and Rob also remind us of the importance of saying goodbye and expressing gratitude. This simple act of saying goodbye and expressing appreciation can have a significant impact on our relationships and our overall well-being.

 

Saying goodbye is an essential part of any relationship, whether it’s a professional or personal one. It allows us to acknowledge the end of a chapter and move forward with a sense of closure. When we say goodbye, we also have the opportunity to express our gratitude to the person we are parting ways with. This expression of gratitude can strengthen our relationships and leave a lasting positive impression.

 

Expressing gratitude is an essential component of positive psychology, which emphasizes the importance of focusing on what is good and positive in our lives. By expressing gratitude, we can shift our focus from negative to positive, promoting our mental health and well-being. Moreover, expressing gratitude can also inspire others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of positivity and kindness.
