Is AI Hurting Your Mental Health? What Therapists Want You to Know

We live in a world where people are turning to AI before they turn to a friend — and sometimes before they turn to a therapist. In this episode of Pause the Noise, Brian sits down with psychologist and therapist Dr. Saarah Nicolas and life coach Lena Wilson to have an honest, nuanced conversation about the rapid rise of AI as a mental health tool.They explore the real benefits — increased access, emotional venting, support for those who feel isolated — and the very real risks, including echo chambers, data privacy concerns, and the danger of replacing human connection with a system designed to keep you engaged.This isn't an anti-AI episode. It's a wisdom conversation. Because knowing how to use a tool matters just as much as the tool itself.If you're struggling, find a safe human.
