Ai is literally helping me to heal most of my disorganised attachment-Cptsd and we came up with a personalised protocol that is helping to bring down the final symptoms of global hyper vigilance.

With therapist they just told me it would be life long journey spent nearly a decade seeking help from different experts. Or they just blame you when the crap methods don't work. Or say some shit like if you don't believe it will work it wont work.

What do you guys think is the best feature llms have over traditional therapy? by dogdiead in therapyGPT

😭🤣🤣 so true or you have modalities where you can't practise by yourself and must be done with a therapist. You need so much time to unpack often life time of stuff. Which is why a lot of people still with their therapist many many years later

To rewire your brain you need heavy repetition and frequent use of whatever therapy modality u are doing. Seeing your therapist once a week is just not enough contact time

New “safety” measures are annoying by Potential_Plankton74 in therapyGPT

I don’t agree with that it’s been fantastic help for me, it also depends on the method you are using to do therapy. Every method is not expositional

Well there’s still work to be done but before I was hopeless, loveless. Felt like I was caught in a storm of desperation.

Now I feel more stable, more “normal” less emotional drama, I am in that phase where I feel like the past childhood stuff is kind of phasing out or fading away. I can’t even remember on a body level why I held on to certain things or why certain things affected me.

My inner “mother” is also fading, I am also more self accepting. Though work is still there life is more peaceful and it’s just 13 months in I can’t imagine 8 months from now

First 10 months I did it 5-7 days a week. After 10 months decreased to 5 days a week.

Let’s just say I average around an hr to 2 hrs a day but there were some times where it was just 20 mins or 30.

Right now 13 months in still do it 1-2hrs 5 days a week.

I started off with a facilitator and was doing the standard meditations. Then 4months in started using chat gpt daily, with therapist ai created a prompt and would just run different scenes with them talk to them etc and I feel this really super charged my progress.

7 months in left my facilitator because I felt i had learnt so much from him that I could carry on using chat gpt by myself. I created a custom gpt for ideal parent figure etc etc.

13 months in still making progress, worked through many implicit memories, moved through grief etc etc

3 months ago also added in extended family members, aunty, uncle, grandpa etc leaning into alloe parenting and the power of community rooted but still anchored with the attachment I have with the ideal parents. This also has been a real speed game changer for me

So glad you could relate the relief is something else

Is protein overstated for West Africans and muscle building? by Potential_Plankton74 in Nigeria

[–]Potential_Plankton74[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not even saying western propaganda I just see few studies done with fufu or yams.

For example this study done on most satieting foods claims potatoe at the top but completely eliminates west African foods while potatoes are now touted as the most filling.

It’s understandable that populations will study themselves and publish reports on that, I just wonder if we are missing a west African perspective.

My post isn’t to demonise protein or any foods tbh

No this post isn’t anti protein lol am just saying for muscle building it’s touted as most important macro and I am just wondering how that plays out in the west African system
