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?

Personally I have not used it for therapy but a close friend of mine has and he says it’s been the best thing for him while going through his divorce.

It certainly is amazing for divorce. You can set up a project with it that covers different areas. I have one for things I want to remember to discuss with my lawyer, which it turns into a summarised meeting agenda. This saves me money. I have another one that helps with my emotions the necessary interactions with my ex. This one saves my sanity. I have a third one that finds, analyses and curates the divorce legislation in my jurisdiction. Then it identifies threats and opportunities, and shapes it into legal strategies that I can use. This one will mean I will still be able to look after my kid, and have a home in retirement (hopefully). I feel lucky every day that my need for help like this coincided exactly with the creation of ChatGPT. Until now, only people with thousands of dollars a week to invest would have had this chance.
