its easier to disregard shitty advice from an ai than a therapist
i tried using chatgpt as therapist for the first time, and while it started out good it then started telling me things that didn't jive with my world view. but reminding myself it was just an llm made it easy for me to just toss that shit out while keeping the good advice
when my (former) human therapist gave me shitty advice in the same wavelength, I thought that obviously i must be in the wrong, because society worships therapy as the ultimate truth. i took what she told me to heart and utterly obliterated my self esteem.
that therapist was so awful that she sparked my mental health revolution by helping me realize that 90% of mental health advice was harmful bullshit, because it's all derived from therapy so if the therapist is spewing bullshit then it must all be bullshit and boom mental health improved
