Increasingly more and more people are chatting with AI to help them talk through and manage mental health struggles. But is this okay? Does it actually help?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into whether or not using ChatGPT, or any AI bot, for therapy is a wise choice, along with the potential consequences.
