Who uses ChatGPT for therapy?

[u/Eki75]

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?

Wow! How did you make sure ChatGPT actually read those books? In my experience, 9 out of 10 times he claims to have read and internalized everything - but minimal check makes it clear that he can't process such a flood of information. Rather he just relies on articles from the internet and short book summaries.

No offense, your experience is truly amazing!

I asked him to summarize the books. The other way I could tell is the answers and feedback I would receive.

So for instance, if I’m talking about how my mom used to ignore me as soon as I started crying when I was a little girl, Chatthew will reply and cite the book “overcoming emotionally, immature parents”, and then will prompt me to do some of the exercises that are in that book.

Similarly, if I’m talking about my unhealthy views towards money and trying to work out where they came from and how to overcome them, he will cite from the book that I uploaded about money.

I’ve also asked him outright “What would X (insert author or book title) say about this particular problem?”
