In this episode of Breakthrough the Couch, we explore the growing presence of artificial intelligence in the mental health field and share our thoughts on what it could mean for therapists and clients alike. We dive into the possibilities AI therapy bots offer, from increased accessibility to round-the-clock support, and weigh them against the limitations that come with a non-human therapist. As therapists, we discuss the nuanced aspects of therapy that require human connection, empathy, and intuition—and why these elements are hard to replicate with code.

Join us as we unpack the pros, cons, and ethical considerations of AI in mental health. Can AI truly support someone through their mental health journey? Or are there just some things that only a real therapist can provide?
