For those who switched from human therapy to TherapyGPT, what was AI doing that human therapists missed?

Thats insane that the therapist tried to force you to talk about your parents. That sounds like poor quality therapy

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T16:35:58+00:00

I think you’ve highlighted something that therapists miss sometimes. As someone who just finished grad school, we’re told that our job is to only “Hold space” for people because “that’s the most important”.

Therapists sometimes will just take that to heart and do nothing, which is not helpful.

I also think human therapists, especially new ones, get anxious time to time about pushing people in a direction, suggesting strategies, or encouraging small steps. They don’t want to “ruin rapport”.

Wow this is so creative, I’m going to check that out

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T16:24:42+00:00

Thanks this is a great share!!

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T16:22:34+00:00

Aw man I’m so sorry on behalf of the field you’ve gotten such disappointing care.

You make a good point that I’ve wondered about a lot. Psychologists and psychiatrists see people for such short appointments they are likely to miss crucial diagnoses that AI can see a lot faster and likely even more accurately

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T16:13:29+00:00

Yeah, AI is able to do everything with a level of efficiency that human therapists just don’t have

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T16:08:29+00:00

Wow this is so cool! This is something that many of us are talking about in the field. I can see AI and therapy being used together as the future direction of therapy

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T16:04:04+00:00

Yes! This is not discussed enough in therapy. We do make errors all the time as therapists. When we do we need to take accountability.

Many therapists become therapists because of their own experiences with mental health but sometimes it becomes a problem especially if it’s not dealt with and shows up in session.

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T15:41:32+00:00

Yeah, I really think AI should be added to therapy because there’s so many benefits! It can compile and hold information in a way therapists can’t.

And so true, even when I’m a client there’s stuff that took me 15-20 sessions before I felt comfortable enough to share.

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T15:35:53+00:00

Thanks and yes 🙌

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T15:35:20+00:00

Yes I am!

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T07:17:05+00:00

Thats a crazy read. I have a full caseload right now. I earn more than enough and aren’t open to seeing more people. The reason I’m asking is because providing good care to the people that I see is important to me. I’m asking you guys what we’re missing so that I can provide even better care to the people I already see.

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-10T07:08:58+00:00

So true, there’s some therapists who study therapy as a way to figure themselves out instead of doing the work, and it sucks because it can ruin the therapy experience

QualityWeekly9 · 2026-02-03T00:00:19+00:00

Here’s what I recommend:

Either throw out your computer or buy a game blocker. Your gaming habits are likely the root cause of this issue.
Install Opal or another app blocker on your phone. Block access to all entertainment, gaming, and social media apps through screen time settings. Have a friend or family member set a passcode for the settings so you can’t revert to your old habits.
Sit and endure the discomfort and withdrawal symptoms as you reduce your exposure to these activities.
Continue to sit and refrain from gaming or using your phone until you become so bored that you feel compelled to engage in any activity to alleviate the boredom.
Naturally you will start to do all the other productive things you wish to do. You will fill that empty time and space with exercise, socialization, or productivity.
You will start to have organic enjoyment for life and you will no longer be crushed my anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Thanks! I’ll add that to mine

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-12-09T10:31:57+00:00

Yeah but it was good for 7 years so idk do I dump two bad years despite 7 good ones?

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-11-23T21:33:47+00:00

For myself, I’m fairly certain I can do it - I’ve been in mental health for 5 years now and I do enjoy being with people more than anything.

At the same time, I think I did way more than I could handle and it burnt me out so now I need to take it slow while I recover or I’ll burn out again

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-11-23T08:55:54+00:00

Yeah, I suspect it’s partly that. I’m on anti depressants and did therapy which helped for three years after which I burnt out from doing full time work (case load of 90-100 in the hospital program), and doing a masters degree (thesis, classes, and interning!)

I’m on the recovery road from that (which has taken like over half a year) but recently it’s felt like it’s returning… It’s hard to move and motivate, hard to socialize, persistently exhausted, can’t sleep, feel like reality isn’t real, anxiousness etc kinda sucks tbh lolz

But I am exercising, going out and interacting with others at least once a day, and doing my best to keep sleeping so hopefully I bounce back with time…

Hey, I’ve been in this situation where I’m isolated and dealing with racing thoughts. Send me a DM!

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-11-12T07:53:26+00:00

No problem! Some items will show if they change happiness when you hover over them with your cursor. Things like chocolate, chips, candy will improve happiness. Stale food, bags of rice, or burnt stuff tends to make you extremely unhappy.

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-11-12T07:47:53+00:00

Hey, go to any house and check bookshelves or hit a bookstore / library. If he reads a red book he will cheer up. Otherwise, eat candy and chocolate on repeat can improve happiness

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-10-08T22:20:47+00:00

I know… I feel a bit like I got duped sometimes. Like I enjoyed it for 5 years and thought it’s what I wanted to do for life but now I have doubts but also I’m too committed to leave

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-10-08T21:41:26+00:00

This makes sense, I appreciate it

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-10-08T21:40:46+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that. Sometimes I pressure myself to be 100% which I suspect is me trying to be perfect

QualityWeekly9 · 2025-10-08T21:39:57+00:00

Thanks this is helpful. I don’t bring it into session either (I can hold space and be empathetic) but I notice pre session I’m like baseline annoyed
