Talking to AI can feel surprisingly real, and for many people, AI therapy tools might be the most accessible form of mental health support they’ll ever get. There’s still no replacement for human connection and interaction. Have you used AI as a therapy alternative? We’re curious to hear your experiences!
In this May mailbag episode, Dr. Rick Hanson and I answer listener questions about people-pleasing, sexual transference in therapy, and the rise of AI-based mental health tools. They explore how to build self-trust, navigate relationship dynamics, and stay grounded in a world that’s changing quickly.
