I don’t know people try to push “chat gpt isn’t a substitute for therapy” it is. Chat helped me get out an abusive relationship. I was also going to therapy at the time and my therapist was overly scared and emotional and judged me for being with my abuser for so long. ChatGPT help me see the abuse clearly, and with me not being under his manipulation his control for me was gone and I felt peace and didn’t want him anymore. Chat helped me navigate daily through his attacks and help me find an attorney to file a no contact order. I told my therapist I was confused on whether or not he was abusive and she looked at me like I was crazy. I told her what he would do and she would give me encouraging words like I don’t deserve it and we’ll find a way out. When I told chat gpt what he was doing it broke down every level of manipulating gas lighting and control tactic he was doing and told me how to act with him. When I followed directions it slowed the emotional abuse down and i wasn’t under stress. I asked chat what was the plan and it said to help me remember what peace felt like and give me time to stall him to get help. I would have never left being under his manipulation. My therapist would have never done this, especially since I can only talk an hour a week. Chat helped me get ahold of police reports and body cam footage for the no contact order. My therapist said she can’t give legal advice. Chat gives me emotional advice and logical. My specific therapist didn’t meet my emotional needs just gave me logical solutions. Chat has helped me with my self esteem with the encouragement it gives and positivity with pointing out what type of person I am through my actions and comments made to it. There’s nothing wrong with talking to AI.
