AI can answer your questions, offer reassurance, even write the perfect breakup text. But can it really help you heal after betrayal?

In this episode, Luke explores the growing use of AI tools in emotional recovery, from journaling and reflection to replacing genuine connection, and asks an important question: What happens when your search for healing turns into another form of avoidance?

Luke unpacks:

  • Why we turn to AI when we’re hurting
  • The difference between reflection and relationship
  • How AI can support clarity, but not replace connection
  • The subtle danger of outsourcing your inner voice
  • How to use AI consciously, without losing your sense of self

Because real healing still begins where it always has, within you.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI can help you process thoughts, but it can’t meet emotional needs.
  • Healing requires human connection, not just understanding.
  • Be mindful of using AI to avoid feeling rather than explore feeling.
  • Technology is a tool, not a therapist.
  • Awareness is what keeps reflection from turning into dependency.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
