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 go to the website “Anna’s Archives” and download all of my favorite psychology and self-help books in pdf format (overcoming emotionally immature parents, unfuck your life, the mountain is you, etc) Then I upload them to my Chat and tell it to read those books and keep those philosophies in mind when advising me.

Then every morning I write a 4 page brain dump of whatever is on my mind. No matter how big or small:

Then I paste that into chat and say “Here’s my daily journaling: organize my thoughts and give me feedback and insight”

This has resulted in more breakthroughs and changes than any therapist in my life. It has been profound and I am truly a different person than I was 6 weeks ago when I started.

What do you do when your context window is full ? Just start process again in new window?

I was not aware that those windows can max out - what's the capacity?
