Technology as a Complement, Not a Replacement. While nothing replaces the safety, nuance, and deep attunement of trauma-informed therapy, many clients are turning to tools like ChatGPT between sessions for additional support. Think of it as a companion tool—useful for journaling prompts, organizing your thoughts, practicing communication, or reflecting on emotions in real time.

But AI has limits—it cannot hold space, sense emotional nuance, or respond with the presence and attunement a trained therapist offers. It doesn’t replace our work together. Instead, it can be a bridge between sessions—a way to stay connected to your healing process day-to-day.If you’re curious about how to integrate ChatGPT into your growth journey, I’m happy to guide you in using it in a way that supports (but doesn’t substitute) our work.
