Finding therapists is increasingly difficult due to overwhelming demand, leading many to explore AI for mental health support. AI serves as a helpful tool for daily challenges but lacks the capacity for serious mental health disorders. The author, an experiencing therapist, emphasizes that while AI cannot replace therapy, it may assist individuals when traditional methods are unavailable, provided that users recognize its limitations and adapt their expectations. A personal anecdote illustrates the potential of AI to offer supportive responses during challenging moments.
I've been using AI in my own personal growth work for nearly a year now... AI is not a therapist. It's not a replacement for one.
If therapy isn't available, can AI help you get what you need? With the right expectations and boundaries, it can be a surprisingly useful tool.
AI without accompanying therapy will not be helpful for you if you're suffering from major depression, personality disorders, or psychoses.
That's not weakness. That's your nervous system whispering, 'We're reaching capacity.'
