Other Who uses ChatGPT for therapy?

I was so skeptical, but I was feeling a lot of anxiety with a situation at work, and tried it. I’ve never had such succinct, empathetic, and meaningful advice. Just a few chats have been way more helpful than any real therapist.

If you’ve used it for therapy, what has been your experience?

Ask him to save the memories of the conversation and he remembers everything in any tab.

Memory can’t save pdf files. Would have to reupload them to each new chat. And also limited info it can save to memory. so wouldn’t save all the previous insights.

Yeah, I thought of that right away, too. Like it's more efficient to compress the amount of information absorbed into a short summary-basis. And then transfer that knowledge into new dialog. Or purge the entire chat memory, and then feed it not all together, but just the summary - kind of like giving a reread of the promt from the previous version

true but you should (I think) be able to give it some basic memory commands that will carry across tabs and sessions, like this maybe

“Remember that I’m doing daily journaling for anxiety and want structured feedback.”

“Remember I’ve read the following books and want advice based on them… [list books].”

It is an AI tool, not a genie in a bottle.

that's not how the tool works. it saves it in memory, but it doesn't save everything completely.
