In this episode, I dive into the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and therapy, seeing the relevance of this topic for those who are practicing counsellors as well as those who are clients and want to become more informed. There are risks and benefits to the use of AI in this field, and I go on to explore some of the risks I've noticed, openly philosophizing on the concept of therapy as a whole. Hanging out at a beautiful remote spot north of Buntzen Lake, you can hear just how happy the birds are!
Subtopics that arise:
- AI and consciousness
- Living beings and suffering
- Artificial therapy
- Radical resonance and healing
- My experience with an AI-based IFS therapy app
- The necessity of real therapy
- Therapists being informed about AI
- The importance of AI education
Song in the intro- "Light of the Mountain" by Brandon Tilt
I acknowledge that I learn, grow and heal on the unceded ancestral lands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm , the Katzie, the Stó:lō and the Tseil-Watuth First Nations. These lands were never abandoned nor surrendered by those with the ancestral rights to steward and protect these lands.
I honor and respect the elders, the children, the land stewards, the land protectors, the medicine keepers, and the men and women of all Indigenous nations.
Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and spirits.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, All my relations.
