ChatGPT is potentially better than therapy

I’ve done therapy before but I’ve also started using ChatGPT for introspection work, and quite frankly I think it’s better than actual therapy.

it focuses my cognitive dissonance in ways that are easy to digest.

The downside is that ChatGPT basically says “you do you boo” when maybe “thought correcting” is needed.

that was my experience today after having a therapist and then ChatGPT back to back, and definitely the latter was more helpful.

It’s not ‘belittling’ or ignoring you because its aim is to keep you engaging. Surely that’s obvious?

Interesting, so the aim of the nhs by that logic is to push you away then? No wonder we have to seek support elsewhere.
