In this first episode of Season 3, Dr. Natalie Stott dives into one of the biggest disruptors facing our profession: AI, and specifically ChatGPT.

The conversation unpacks how therapists and clients are already using AI—sometimes to surprising effectand where the fault lines lie:

• Why clients are turning to ChatGPT for emotional support outside sessions
• How therapists are experimenting with AI for supervision, content, and admin
• The blind spots of AI: emotion, nuance, nonverbal cues, and tone
• What we risk if we lean too heavily on AI—de-skilling, diluted voices, and a drift from human connection
• Key ethical and safety considerations, plus the built-in biases of AI models
• Practical ways to make AI work for you (brainstorming, admin, clinical perspectives) without handing it the steering wheel
• A live demonstration of using ChatGPT to formulate cases through IFS and CBT lenses
• How to build and tailor your own GPTs for specific tasks
• Where the future may take us,AI recognising tone, emotion, and beyond

This episode is both a warning and an invitation: AI is here, and therapy is changing. The question is how we shape it, without losing what makes therapy human.
