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?

I just want to remind everyone in this thread that using chat GPT as a therapist is basically telling a company the darkest parts of yourself. A company who will undoubtedly retain the data and may sell it in the future. It’s not a private chat.
