Digital therapy tools address symptoms of mental health issues, but they fundamentally misunderstand the nature of recovery. Real recovery involves reconstructing the self after experiences such as trauma, grief, or burnout. Tools such as apps and chatbots provide symptom reduction without genuine therapeutic care. Most digital interventions are designed for behavior modification and stability, not for the complex needs of individuals who have faced major disruptions in their lives. Recovery should focus on coherence and deeper healing rather than simply returning to a previous state of normalcy.
We've built digital tools to manage stress and gamify calm, yet genuine recovery requires reconstruction of the self after experiencing trauma or grief.
Digital therapy often operates on behaviorism, aiming for symptom reduction and manageability, rather than addressing the deeper needs of individuals who have faced significant trauma.
