Therapists - Add This To Your Intake

Therapists: Are some of your clients talking about their chatbot use with you?

Are they mentioning getting advice, input, or emotional support from chatbots?

We're beginning to see this...and it will likely only grow (and grow).

How are you conceptualizing and approaching it in your case load?

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻...
𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦, 𝘪𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘺, 𝘥𝘰 𝘈𝘐 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦?"

This is aligned with asking about the client's overall support ecosystem (family, friends, hobbies, clubs, communities, etc.).

* Always important to use your clinical judgment. This may or may not be appropriate based on context. You are the one who knows your practice best. You may even want to modify this question to suit your approach. 

My prediction is that this type of question will become increasingly relevant over time.
