AI in the Therapy Room

This is the one question I ask inside every single room of psychotherapists I speak in...

'How many of you have clients who are bringing up the topic of AI inside their sessions?'

And in rooms full of hundreds of therapists, unwaveringly I see 90%+ of hands go up. 

Whether you're for or against AI (or somewhere in the middle) is not the issue. The issue is becoming aware and equipped to hold space without undue countertransference or personal biases.

We need to think deeply and reflectively about this as mental health practitioners.
