Eps 123 - AI and Healing: Can Technology Really Support Mental Health & Connection?

In this week’s episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore one of today’s most talked-about topics: AI. With technology moving faster than ever, the question arises—can AI truly help us heal, or does it risk pulling us further away from real human connection?

Together, Ash and Dave unpack:

• The benefits of AI for accessibility, affordability, and support between sessions

• How AI can amplify journaling, self-awareness, and learning

• The risks of over-reliance, echo chambers, and outsourcing healing

• Why human energy, soul, and true connection can’t be replaced

• The parallels between AI, social media, and psychiatric medications as “adjuncts” vs. full solutions

• The vital role of community, discernment, and self-responsibility

This conversation invites you to reflect on your own relationship with AI: is it a healthy tool, or an unhealthy substitute for connection?

Reflection prompts:

• How are you currently using AI in your personal or healing journey?

• Do you notice moments where it supports you—or where it replaces connection?

• What does true human support and community look like for you?
