Are AI therapists helping you, or just enabling you? πŸ€–πŸ›‹οΈ


In this week's episode, we break down a fascinating Financial Times experiment where the author Henry mance treated his "midlife crisis" using only ChatGPT. The result? A validation loop that feels good but misses the point of therapy entirely.


We discuss:

πŸ”Ή The danger of the "Obsequious AI" that acts like a people-pleaser.

πŸ”Ή Why "Rehearsal Spaces" might be the best clinical use case for LLMs.

πŸ”Ή The difference between "Customer Service" and "Clinical Care."

πŸ”Ή Why a real therapist wants you to leave, but an AI wants you to stay.
