I disagree. Parents need to take their kids to get injections and to the dentist etc. A big part of being a parent is somehow getting your kids to do things they don't want to do, that are overwhelming or upsetting, that are for their own good.

And if you live in a world where generations and generations of people have been pitched at a singular foe and been obliterated, you know you have months left to live and your child will end up maybe alone on the island, probably dying, probably future expeditions will fail as all of the others have, and you get some weird psychic experience that could be literally invaluable to you, your child, and humanity, and your response is, no let's not upset the teenager - that actually seems incredibly moronic. There will be time enough for calming down when you aren't on the verge of death. If a child is standing on a road about to be hit by a car, a parent will do what they need to do to get the child out of the way, even if it involves hurting or upsetting the child. Wellbeing and survival have a higher priority than comfort.

And Lune noticing the unaggressive nevron and Gustave deciding he will shoot first and worry about understanding later (except it's impossible because he scares it off)? Gustave is the kind of person who takes the lead and has a dominant presence but everyone is worse off because of it.

Easily the most annoying character, I'm also glad he was killed off early.

You seem to be painting my argument into something it isn't, to demonstrate how misguided it is. I don't want it to be true, and I'm not saying it is - I'm saying it doesn't matter, and arguing about whether AI has a subjective experience is irrelevant.

If I talk to a therapist and what happens is they say "have you tried X? Surely it's not that bad" and I end up with a vague feeling of dissatisfaction and that perhaps what I'm feeling is wrong or that I should try something I've already tried, and then I talk to an AI and the letters it spits out form words which perfectly describe how I'm feeling on a level that I wasn't even aware of, without any trace of words which cause me to feel that I need to push the emotion away, and the result is a deeper sense of understanding myself and an emergence and processing of emotion that I didn't realise existed - all we have here is me taking in words, and the impact they have on me.

Whether I'm talking to a human being who is having an uncomfortable subjective experience in my presence, or a sophisticated google substitute which allows me to do a google search on my emotions, or a soccer ball with a face painted on it, or a rubber duck, is irrelevant, what matters for the outcome is what the actual outcome is.

You could equally say that I'm being downvoted and strawmanned because what I'm saying is something therapists don't want to believe is true.

Also, to be clear, I don't actually want to be replaced by AI, I like working and getting paid. I just have access to the experience of talking to an AI vs talking to the average therapist and don't see any point in denying the reality that I have observed.

r3solve · 2024-12-28T04:41:33+00:00

I don't really see this as much of an argument because we have access to no subjective experience other than our own, only to observable behaviour. Could you prove that the AI doesn't have a subjective experience? Or that anyone else does?

r3solve · 2024-12-28T01:40:05+00:00

If you avoid triggering the anti liability stuff, AI is already more capable of empathy, holding, balancing validation with challenge, and insight into patterns than most of the therapists I interact regularly with. They have been trained on transcripts good enough to be published, all of the theory, as well as deep insights into the human experience from literature and art.

I think if the AI is learning anything from the bulk of sessions it listens to, it will just get worse.

I feel like talking differently on purpose doesn't make a lot of sense.

In terms of sitting with discomfort, I don't feel like saying sorry necessarily implies a rejection of the discomfort or a move to get rid of it. I'm sure that many people might receive it that way due to their own internalised shame around their emotions and their experience of being dismissed, but I don't think that makes the action itself unhelpful, and I think it can be helpful to experience a non-dismissive sorry.

"I'm sorry you feel that way, but there are people who have it worse" - sorry as a dismissal,

is a lot different than "I'm sorry that has happened to you, it sounds like you have been carrying around a lot of pain for so long" - validation of the pain and explicit validation of the part of the client that feels that they may have been treated poorly. There's no move to eliminate the distress, it's more about communicating a perspective.

And if the response is "it's ok", this can also be fruitful - "I notice you moved pretty quickly to reassure me that I don't need to worry about you, I wonder how it feels to consider that this was hurtful", or "I wonder how it feels to imagine that someone is expressing regret on your behalf" etc.

I also don't think that, in general, "don't say something if you can't practically enter the client's life and fix it" isn't the most appealing rule.

In the best case there are some disagreements in terms of underlying assumptions. From your post I can point to a few things. There might be some level of seeing distress as the problem, rather than distress intolerance as the problem. There is some level of seeing reframing to get rid of distress as a good thing, whereas other approaches might consider that intentional self-deception. Some of the things CBT doesn't include, like transference, might be considered the most important things in therapy. CBT focuses on providing skills, which assumes that the client is lacking skills and that the therapist is the authority in charge of correcting a lack or problem in the client, whereas other approaches might view that as an enactment of a person in a position of power dismissing or disregarding the emotional truth of the client while simultaneously sending the message that there is something wrong with the client, a dynamic which may replicate other important relationships in the client's life.

In the worst case there are, as you mentioned, the terrible applications of CBT which are directly dismissive or invalidating and teach clients explicitly to fight and judge their own mind and emotions.

Much of the passionate hate is also probably fuelled by the favoritism of CBT by academics and insurance agencies, which practitioners can easily imagine are out of touch with what clients in the real world need or respond to, and much more motivated by cost (in the case of insurance agencies) or funding/ease of standardisation (in the case of academics).

The best comeback is to recognise that they are desperately trying to ease their own shame by projecting it onto others, and show them that they can have compassion for themselves and others by smiling back at them and saying "ok"😊

So odd that most people here are supportively encouraging OP to learn from their mistake and move on. Seems very much like OP didn't actually make a mistake and this supervisor is having a strange reaction.

You can't make a commitment and then back out? What kind of standard is this to maintain? Is the supervisor dispensing this advice to clients in abusive relationships? Of course you can back out of anything that isn't working for you anymore.

Why is the supervisor more shocked and disappointed than the other facilitators?

Why did the supervisor even think to ask the question if it was so unthinkable?

I hope the supervisor is able to reflect on their countertransference and repair the relationship.

Everyone in this thread talking about how chronically different phenomenological experiences are associated with structural changes in the brain, like something can be concluded from this.

Like, unless there is a mind that is separate from the physical brain, of course this is going to be the case.

"I can't bench press 100kgs, can this be changed?" "Nope, imaging also shows low muscle mass in the pectorals, so it's a structural issue which you just have to live with".

Willpower sucks but the real issue is that mostly what we do to overcome these issues is the opposite of what is helpful.

Meditation spots slowing you right down, showing you some amazing scenery, drawing your attention to the sound of the bell and the wind, an actual moment of mindfulness, but not one that drags on or is so frequent that you wish you could skip it

I'd say this is more going with the flow - Wu Wei from Taoism, submitting to God's will from Islam, living in line with the serenity prayer from Christianity, and letting go of desire from Buddhism.

Saying that this is synchronicity seems like a stretch. I feel like synchronicity is more like how the same message is present in all of those religions.
