The Reframe for Therapists in the Age of AI

If you're afraid AI therapy chatbots will replace you...have I got a reframe for you.

Buckle up because therapists are going to be needed more than ever.

As millions (!) of people are bonding with AI, there is unique need and new language around the AI-dependence that is emerging.

Mental health professionals will be the ones to help people who hit inevitable disillusionment with synthetic relationships and need support transitioning back to real ones.

We’re only at the beginning of the beginning, and in these nascent stages we’re already seeing:

▪️ AI Psychosis
▪️ AI Attachment
▪️ AI-Dependence
(Watch as these terms become formalized)

This isn't a time to shrink back, but rather to lean forward, fully equipped for the moment at hand.

(Ok, ok, I know many of you weren’t worried about being replaced to begin with :)
