As exciting as AI innovation may be, we must be honest about where it falls short, especially when it comes to therapy.

Therapy is not simply advice, prompts, or well-worded reflections. It is a deeply human relationship built on attunement, trust, rupture and repair, and the nuanced dynamics of transference. Healing happens in connection, not in code.

But this concern extends far beyond the therapy room. We are increasingly encouraging emotional intimacy of all kinds to be replaced by chatbots. When we turn to artificial systems for comfort, validation, and relational depth, we shift further away from the human bonds that shape us, challenge us, and help us grow.

This is not just an emerging trend that needs observation. It demands urgent attention. We already understand that displacing human connection with artificial intimacy will cause harm, and likely in ways that are deeper and more far-reaching than we can even anticipate.

I was honored to be featured in a recent Newsday article examining the dangers of chatbot therapy, and I’m grateful to contribute to this critical conversation. Human connection is not optional in healing or in life, it is foundational.
