More people are turning to ChatGPT and other AI tools for relationship advice, emotional validation, and mental health guidance—but can artificial intelligence actually replace therapy?
In this episode of Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk, licensed therapists Courtnie and Melisa explore the growing trend of using AI like a therapist and unpack why it feels so appealing. From accessibility and anonymity to the desire for instant answers, we break down what’s driving people to seek emotional support from technology instead of humans.
We discuss what AI can be helpful for, where it falls short clinically, and the risks of relying on AI for mental health advice, trauma processing, and relationship decisions. The conversation dives into attachment wounds, emotional avoidance, reassurance-seeking, and the difference between information and true healing.
Whether you’ve asked ChatGPT for dating advice, mental health insight, or late-night reassurance, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate perspective on how to use AI as a tool—without replacing real human connection or therapy.
Topics include:
Using ChatGPT for mental health and relationship advice
Why AI feels safer than talking to people
The difference between therapy and emotional advice
Attachment, anxiety, and reassurance-seeking behaviors
Healthy ways to use AI without avoiding healing
