I've been using AI alongside my therapy sessions. I'm aware of the ethical and safety implications of its use. But I needed a space to structure and vent my thoughts and emotions, without being interrupted, judged, or feeling like I was talking to a wall.

At the time, I didn't have the capacity to sit alone with my thoughts, and my friends weren't always able to help, so I decided to try AI. Due to my illness, I sometimes have minor memory and speech impairments, so using AI as a journaling tool to structure, remember, and understand myself better has been extremely helpful. Besides this, I used it to tailor some of the approaches my therapist suggested to be a better fit.

I know it's not a conventional approach, but I finally found the courage to tell my therapist about it. While she advised caution, she was overall really understanding and supportive. After discussing it with her, I thought I'd send her a summary, but I don't know where to start. My conversations with AI have been quite long, so I don't know how to structure it -what might be genuinely helpful vs too much. I did ask her, but she just said anything is fine. Any advice?

When I was younger, I wanted to major in anthropology but due to financial and family circumstances I couldn't. Instead, I majored in marketing. I do enjoy it but I've always wondered "what if". I'm not trying to formally change careers or anything, just looking to expand my knowledge for pleasure. How do you suggest I start? I'm drawn more to cultural and linguistic anthropology than biological.
