Can AI Be a THERAPIST? Reflections from the Inside

Aug 13, 2025 • S05 E06 • 00:20:51

I explore the possibilities and limits of AI in therapy, drawing on my own experience from the inside. A grounded, honest look at what AI can, and can’t, offer for emotional healing.

In today's episode:

  • I take you behind the scenes of my own conversations with AI to see whether it can truly offer the depth, empathy, and connection we expect from therapy.
  • We’ll look at its strengths, where it falls short, and how it affects the nervous system.
  • Touching on transference, co-regulation, and the irreplaceable value of human presence.

It’s a grounded, thoughtful exploration for anyone curious about, or feeling threatened by, the intersection between technology and emotional healing.

If You’d Like to Go Deeper

This podcast connects well with my somatic therapy episodes, where we look at embodiment, anxiety, and self-worth through a somatic lens.

Reflecting on Using AI as Emotional Support Worksheet

If you’ve ever turned to AI for emotional support but ended up feeling unseen, misunderstood, or more alone, I’ve made something to help.
 It’s a printable, fillable AI emotional support worksheet that goes with this episode. Inside, you’ll explore your emotional patterns, strengthen your boundaries, and track how AI affects your nervous system — so you can reach for real connection with more grounded self-trust.
