AI Relationships: When Therapy Meets the Algorithm
Sam Altman says 2025 is the year people start using ChatGPT for their emotional lives — to process relationships, rehearse hard conversations, and even find comfort.
So what happens when your clients start doing therapy with an algorithm?
In this crossover episode of TwoX Labs x The Soft Science, Dr. Erika Miley breaks down:
🧠 What AI actually is (and isn’t) — and why it can sound empathetic without ever understanding you.
💬 How clients are turning to AI for emotional support — and what needs that really meets.
⚠️ Why therapists must start asking about AI use the same way we ask about coping skills.
🛑 What harm reduction looks like when AI becomes part of the therapy process.
🧩 How professional associations need to protect the field — before insurance companies decide AI can replace human care.
This episode is for therapists, clients, and anyone trying to navigate the messy new frontier where care meets code.
