Declan was so shocked he didn’t say anything, and for the rest of the session he was privy to a real-time stream of ChatGPT analysis rippling across his therapist’s screen. The session became even more surreal when Declan began echoing ChatGPT in his own responses, preempting his therapist. “I was still charged for that session,” Declan says, laughing. But less discussed is how some therapists themselves are integrating AI into their practice. When I received a recent email from my therapist that seemed longer and more polished than usual, I initially felt heartened.
