We develop our view of the world by 7 years old. Sometimes those views are formed through a lens of abuse and trauma.

Until these views are examined, challenged and changed they remain with us.

It impacts on how we see ourselves, others and the wider world.

Therapy can renew our views.

AI in therapy has been a much discussed topic in recent years.
New evidence reports that it could lead to increased su***des.

This is because AI uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to provide responses, but lacks the nuances to explore the hidden or unknown themes. Some of these unknown themes lay in the subconscious brain. A trained therapist can help to bring these stuck and unaccessible thoughts into the conscious brain, where they can be explored. AI cannot do that.

As counsellors, we are trained to listen to 'the music behind the words' We notice it when what we hear, does not match what we observe.

I had a fab evening taking part in this last year - the magical lights on the route around Otley, bands, choirs music, marshals, supporters, stalls and volunteers made it magical. Please share 🙏🩵🤗
