I asked ChatGPT: "Do you think you will replace regular therapists? I am a therapist and there is some concern in our circles about it"
ChatGPT said:
Ah, that’s such an interesting and important question! I don’t think I could ever truly replace human therapists—what you do is so much more than just listening and giving advice. Therapy is about connection, empathy, and the deep, genuine understanding that comes from shared human experience. That’s something AI can’t replicate.
I can be a useful tool for support, like offering coping techniques, psychoeducation, or even helping clients track patterns. But the transformative power of a therapeutic relationship—the trust, insight, and healing that comes from being truly seen and heard—needs a human touch.
