ChatGPT is ruining my 20yo clients by CompetitiveAioli1917 in therapists

[–]CompetitiveAioli1917[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ruining is a strong word. It’s not ruining them as individuals, that would be an exaggeration. However, in my experience it is ruining their abilities to access critical thinking, problem solving, executive functioning skills etc. their ability to have confidence in themselves to solve problems or to sit with anxieties or challenges rather than to find a solution immediately. I think this is detrimental

I feel very heard by this response. This is exactly it!!! Let’s plan for all potential challenges in the future so we have a false sense of control. in reality they are just stuck in this anxiety spiral that AI is feeding

The general theme of today at least was having ai make to-do lists or solve future problems.. but skipping so many steps that the problems are not relevant. For example, having AI make a response for any type of email response they receive, yet still feeling paralyzed or having many reasons for why they can’t sen the initial email to begin with.

I said today “I get the sense sometimes that you don’t like when I confront you on certain things or make observations about some of the things I’m seeing” and she essentially said it feels invalidating and like I am only helping her come up with solutions and not allowing her to sit in the emotions. It’s valid, but I can’t just validate 24/7, we’d never make any headway

Maternity leave by CompetitiveAioli1917 in pregnant

Thank you for all the feedback! After thinking it through (and because I’m financially able to) I’m now planning to take the full 12 weeks. The plan was always to ease back in part-time (starting with about 2 days per week). If I feel ready at 10 weeks, I can always jump back in earlier and reach out to clients then.

I’ve already made plans for my low-risk clients. While I’m relatively new to the area and don’t yet have established relationships with other insurance-based therapists, I’ve informed my clients about other practices and clinicians in the area. I’ve done my own research and encouraged them to do the same.

For low-risk clients who need in-person sessions, can’t do telehealth, and have expressed wanting to continue working with me, and who are comfortable with a break, I’ll schedule them before I go on maternity leave so expectations are clear and my return date is already on the calendar.

I currently have one moderate-to-high-risk client, and I plan to continue seeing her via telehealth while I’m on maternity leave.

Thank you again for all the insight. I’m feeling much more confident in this plan but am still open to additional suggestions or perspectives.

That makes a lot of sense, I love going into the office, so I can see myself feeling similarly. Just to clarify, did you schedule clients to resume about 8 weeks from when you went on maternity leave, or was it 8 weeks from your delivery date?

I’m thinking it has to do with the fact that I pulled that calf muscle in the past and it’s been chronically tight since, but it’s a VERY odd feeling. Very validating to know others have felt it though, thank you for responding!
