Did you know that 70% of people have used an AI like ChatGPT for therapy, coaching, or emotional support?
So if you've ever tried this — or use it daily — you're far from alone.
You may also have heard negative news coverage around using AI for mental health support. (For example, many states and professional organizations are calling for greater regulations and passing restrictions into law.)
Naturally, you might wonder: Is it safe to talk to AI about my problems? Could it be doing me more harm than good?
I think it's time to have a nuanced conversation about this.
In today's episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I'll share some of my own experiences asking the AI for coaching.
Spoiler alert: I actually think it does some things really well.
And I'll also share some of the limitations I've noticed.
These aren't necessarily reasons NOT to use it, but they ARE helpful to be aware of.
With any kind of coaching (human or AI), you want to be a savvy consumer.
And this podcast will help you think critically about the coaching you receive.
It will help you decide whether your particular problem/question is a good case for AI coaching — or something better addressed by a human coach.
When you know the difference, you'll always be able to connect to the right kind of help.
And you'll change faster and feel better sooner.
Enjoy!
