Dr. Sharon Fieldstone

... you can visibly see him, like, calm down from an agitated state, and I thought that was pretty cool.

Well, I feel like this is also another callback of him kind of using the breathing techniques that Dr. Sharon Fieldstone had kinda, uh, taught him in the previous seasons, right? That 4-7-8 breathing method-

Mm

... where you kind of inhale, you hold it, then you exhale.

And a lot of times people will just put those faces on to deflect and avoid having to have a lot of introspection.

And I think that that's why that was so important when he, you know, met with and got help from Dr. Fieldstone.

But, you know, that doesn't just kind of go away.

It's still there.

You just wanna fucking knock him out.

Um, Sarah Niles plays, uh, the, uh, Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, the psychiatrist who's excellent.

Um, the, uh, Elodie Blanfield, who plays Phoebe, that's, uh, uh, Roy Kent's, uh, niece.

Wonderful.

Yeah, and I think we're gonna start, really start to see Ted go to b- b- get more confidence in himself, but also go to work on Chilton, um, a little bit.

[laughs] Maybe, maybe he'll set her up with Dr. Fieldstone, who kn- [laughs] who knows?

I'd...

Yeah.

Or the team, you know? Everybody.

Yes.

Yeah, Fieldstone needs to come back, I think, for more of a...

I'm not sure they will bring her back, but I, I would love to see her brought back for a specific team engaging episode like she did with the, uh, uh, in the, uh, third season.

You have your attackers, midfielders, and defenders at each other, and Ted realizes that winning games or, you know, wearing the same jersey is doesn't necessarily mean you have a healthy team.

And I think the episode actually starts where the sports psychologist Sharon Fieldstone, Ted's fictional psychologist, if you remember from previous seasons, explains former Richmond reporter Trent Crimm on his podcast and If coaches lose the dressing room, they lose the team.

Successful teams are happy teams.

Happy teams have coaches that establish a culture of community and communication and trust.
