👉This feels important to share as more people use AI as a therapist these days.
As we get ready to merge humanness with artificial intelligence, what happens with the innate wisdom of the body?
"Innate wisdom of the body” is not poetic language, it’s biology, evolution, attachment patterns, nervous system regulation, and lived experience stored in tissue and implicit memory. 💫
When we talk about merging biology and technology — whether metaphorically (deep reliance on AI in daily thinking) or literally (neuro-tech, bio-integration) — the concern isn’t just technological.
It’s existential and somatic.
Do we lose the body as a primary source of knowing when the mind gains an external cognitive prosthetic?
No matter how much AI integrates, your heart rate still gives you truth before your intellect does. 💓
Your gut still detects incongruence.
Your fascia still holds unprocessed stress.
AI doesn’t replace that. But it can make it easier to dissociate from it.
💡The real risk is abandoning relationship with the body in a culture that already heavily favours this.
Do we build a future that honors sensation, slowness, rest, relational attunement, breath, movement, grief, awe?
Or do we race toward efficiency, certainty, optimization, numbing? 🤷♀️
AI shouldn’t become a new caregiver, therapist, or escape route.
It can’t create further dependence, when we are already dependent on so much that is built around compulsive use, self abandonment, outsourcing decisions.
AI can educate a human. AI can’t regulate like a human.
