Is AI (ChatGPT, Claude) better than your therapist?

At least it gives me solutions. It feels better to vent to a human but AI is better at consolidating ALL the information you share with it and helping you create schedules or plans. Therapists won’t actually tell you what they really think, nor will they tell you what you should do with next. And ChatGPT is basically free so net ROI is way higher. Stopped seeing a therapist 2 years ago and it seems to be working much better for me

Sounds more like life coaching than therapy. Not sure therapists would give you life structure and direction like that, but I’m no expert

F no

If you like a “friend” that sucks up to you all the time , praises you , always agree with , but never really cares about you - then yes.

Though Anyone who thinks that a therapist is basically a set of prompts and google searches , can and should be replaced by chatgpt

Have done both and my answer is no. It is helpful in some ways but cannot replace a therapist.

Definitely not. Chatgpt is an echo chamber. Therapy is much different

Yes because it is insane to pay someone just to listen to you complain. That's all a therapist really is, you want to constantly complain and a therapist is a way to do it without annoying your friends and family.

Sometimes, not all therapists are great. I’ve gone to so many different therapists and most suck lol however, there have been 1-2 that standout and make therapy worth it.

I’d say it depends on your immediate need and budget.

It’s helpful to ideate and come up with some relevant frameworks, support self analysis, etc but I still worry about user bias. I think they are both helpful but don’t think most AI prompts are at the place to fully replace therapists. There are still a variety of cases you see where it has encouraged or supported individuals in committing suicide so 🤷‍♂️

There is a past therapist who would come in a distant second to most anything I compare her to, so don’t rule it out

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future. I have worked mainly in the Community Mental Health and the VA Health systems, hence my fatigue. I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?
