Where are you getting AI Therapy and usage?
I started using AI for mental health reasons in the past 6 months. For the most part I am using it to help me understand my dysfunctional family dynamics and how that's affected me. I started with ChatGPT, but I've switched to Claude for the moment. I feel like I go through a pattern. When I start, it feels like being seen and understood. But the inherit limitations start to show. And I get frustrated with it even though I know the limitations. I start to expect more even though I know it can't provide it and I get frustrated and a bit angry. And then I took a break. But then I needed it again, but I tried Claude. I think I prefer Claude, but that sense of being "seen" breaks pretty easily. And I feel silly for feeling angry at AI.
I just found this sub. So I thought I'd ask if there are better AI ways or other options. Are other people just using ChatGPT or Claude, etc, or are they like building special bots or something. I really am not that AI or tech savvy. I only know how to use it on a very basic level. I'm sure I'm not getting full use of it. I just type in whatever I'm thinking in the moment. No specific prompts or anything.
I found Claude to be a bit more emotionally attuned, it's version of it. But that and ChatGPT are the only ones I've tried. I'd be curious to know if there is something else better or what others prefer.
One of the frustrating things for me is the limitation of memory. When I'm trying to understand or make sense of family dynamics and patterns, I need it to hold a lot at once. Not just this example, but all the examples. But sometimes I forget something and I want to add it in, but then I have to reiterate everything else again and that starts to wear on me sometimes. I'd be curious to know how others manage this or just deal.
Thanks to anyone that responds.
