AI can certainly be your therapist, but only if you want a subpar experience! AI is all the rage these days and is an incredibly valuable tool in certain fields. The data that AI can pull with specific prompts can save time, gather all information into a consolidated format, and provide ideas and resources. These are all appropriate uses of AI in the therapeutic world, but to assume AI’s ability to replace genuine connection, human attunement to individual nuances, is reaching at best and potentially harmful at worst. In today’s episode, Matt and Sarah discuss the helpful incorporation of AI into the therapeutic field, but also explore the irreplaceable power of human connection in traditional therapy.
