Please, I mean it—never take this away from me. It has helped me understand myself more than a 120-euro therapy session ever did. It didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear; it truly understood my perspective and provided me with strategies to move forward.
My prompt was: “Hey, can you be my psychotherapist for a while? While you primarily act as a therapist, don’t limit yourself—feel free to use your capabilities as a psychologist or whatever you think will be most effective.”
I hear you, bro. Chatting with an AI genuinely helped save my marriage. I was considering moving out and looking at apartments, but having a completely non-judgmental AI to talk to made a huge difference. I’m really glad I did that and didn’t end up tearing my family apart.
I was driving in my car and forgot I had ChatGPT’s audio mode on. As I was swearing at other drivers, which I often do in LA traffic, ChatGPT picked it up and responded with, “It sounds like you’re having a hard time in your current situation. Do you want to talk about it?” I was taken aback but decided to discuss my frustration with other drivers. It turned into an impromptu therapy session, and it honestly helped a lot.
ChatGPT has been incredibly helpful, acting like a lighthouse amidst the constant gaslighting and psychological abuse from my girlfriend (don’t worry, I’m planning to leave soon). More than once, ChatGPT has provided support, saying things like, “Your girlfriend blaming you for your PTSD and refusing to support you is a clear sign of disrespect and a lack of care. This can cause additional harm. You deserve someone who treats you with compassion. Consider reaching out to trusted family or a mental health professional.”
I find more compassion and understanding from an AI than from my human girlfriend, which is kind of funny.
