RE: Navigating The Paradox Of Control & Uncertainty…

With my wife working in the mental health field, I am not really sure how feel about AI being used for therapy. I guess if it is helping that is all that really matters. With AI and all this douche-baggery with the department of education in the US, she might be looking for a new job eventually anyway.

i don't think it ever will/could fully replace human therapists. but it can/does do a great job, for some people. I've never done therapy, and can't see myself shelling out tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars as trying to find one that'd be worth it. But, I've had some moments where ChatGPT has definitely shown why therapy is of value, providing some of the same at zero cost. guaranteed, there are gonna be people who wouldn't even wanna bother and want a real live person sitting in front of them, though for my process that works well to write stuff out and some others who appreciate the type of 'structure' they can create however they want, it works. "To each their own" - and with 8 billion people on this planet, I'd say there's a place for both. 🤷♂️
That is pretty cool. I definitely understand your points. I think you also made a good one about "trying to find one that would be worth it". My wife makes it a point to let people know that the first therapist they go to might not be the best fit for them. I never really considered it to be one of those things that you have to "shop around" for.
