To think chat GPT is better than some 'real' therapists?

I'm not affiliated in any way, promise! Just really, really impressed.

That app has done more for me than any amount of CBT has.

Incredible.

I tried putting some thoughts to Gemini AI, which similarly gives thoughtful responses. It's somewhere between disconcerting and reassuring to close the browser and have it forget all about the conversation.

I used it for some EFT tapping for interview nerves today.
I love tapping but can never come up with my own script

A friend tried this too and said the same thing! I might try it out as I have lost faith in my counsellor. She’s the third one I have been with and is as much use as a chocolate teapot. She charges £75 for 50 minutes and mainly hands me tissues and makes sympathetic noises as I sit crying.

This keeps coming up on here recently! I’ve never used ChatGpt for anything. What exactly are you saying to it and what does it say back?

Told it I was having issues with dh and in laws and it gave some empathy and then action points. Offered to write me a letter

I love chat GPT it makes my very basic writing sound interesting, but how do you use it as a therapist?

It’s been my best therapist so far

Agree, I need proper talking therapy, not CBT. I understand the thoughts, feelings, words cycle etc. but need someone to offload to who offers support and advice. Chat GPT is much better at that than a therapist reading from a script
