151 AI Won’t Save You: The Problem With Using ChatGPT as Therapy

People are increasingly turning to AI for therapy, mental health advice, and some of the most painful questions a human being can ask.And I get it.AI is available at 2AM. It’s patient. It doesn’t judge you. It can help you understand patterns, articulate what you’re feeling, and sometimes say the thing you’re too ashamed to tell another person.But understanding your pain is not the same thing as healing it.In this episode, I talk about where AI can genuinely help, where I think it becomes dangerous, and how something designed to make life easier can quietly become another way of avoiding the very friction that changes us.I share how I use AI myself, the moment a therapist completely dismantled the story I had built about who I was, why human intimacy matters, and why self-knowledge can only take us so far.I even bring ChatGPT into the episode to defend itself.AI isn’t the enemy.Avoidance is.Use the tool. Learn from it. Let it help you find the door.Then put the phone down and go live.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC93nT0ACHVfQGW5-BaLNZMQ https://www.instagram.com/fromthegravepodcast/https://fromthegraveco.com
