Did it help

I use ChatGPT as my therapist. It sort of helps tbh

When I was a kid, there was a short period where I was removed from my home and placed into custody of the state (ded fkin srs). While in foster care, CPS forced me to attend “play therapy” with this fat lady. We’d sit in her office for an hour and she would let me play with action figures, train sets, a sandbox, all sorts of things, while she asked questions about how I was feeling.

Whether it helped, I highly doubt it. I was very young (about 6) so I don’t remember much, but there was one incident in which I acted out a T-Rex figure eating another dinosaur toy. I commented to her “it’s their nature.”

Eventually the courts awarded my dad full custody and I no longer had to attend therapy.

Many years later I found my casework files and read that this lady wrote she was concerned because my play themes involved violence, tragedy and inexorable events. She theorized that this stemmed from my anger towards being taken out of my father’s home and loss of control, which was actually a reasonable guess, but in reality I was simply emulating things I saw on television or in movies.

So the experience revealed to me that therapy is largely pseudoscientific bullshit peddled by overeducated charlatans.

I went to couples counseling before my divorce, complete waste of time. We were discussing differences in the way we think and I told the therapist what my iq was, and she asked me if I understood what it meant. Bitch I'm in the top 25% of the top 1%, you are a retard asking me questions so you can bill a full hour.

This is what I do. I feel like therapists cant offer me what I need. They typically have their own issues that seem to interfere with how they work with me and they seem to take random shit from what I say. ChatGPT seems to understand everything that I say and it's a robot so there's no issues. A lot of my problems seem to stem from thinking catastrophically which is something I find chatgpt can help me with. I typically work through worst case scenarios with it - odds of things happening. blah blah blah. anyways- yeah. I might try therapy again but it feels really difficult to find someone that works for me

75% of therapists are women. They learned from a female perspective and they treat through the female perspective. They don't understand male problems. Men gain much more by having beers with close friends.

I signed up for BetterHealth after a really bad breakup 5 years ago that I couldn't snap out of.

In general, it was a complete waste of money, but to be honest just being able to talk to someone did kinda break me out of the funk. I would never spend money on it again as the lady was essentially useless, but I did see a small benefit from it that one time.

This isy issue with it.some feminist cat lady will understand my problems better than me? I don't bloody fink so m8

How does this work? Do you just type in whatever is bothering you to Chat, and then they talk you through it?

I'm actually a therapist. Due to the anomalistic nature of such a score, it can often be attributed to a testing error. If you'd like, I can point you in the direction of a free online test that could accurately assess your IQ. Then you could post your score and I guarantee mine will be higher

Additionally scores from tests taken earlier in life often regress to the mean over time

Kind of but I catch it gaslighting me a lot, doing math wrong, contradicting itself. It actually makes a lot of errors. I had a new like mole type thing on my arm that I took a picture of and showed it. It said it was nothing which gave me just enough easement about it that I felt brave to send the picture to a dermatologist. So I use it like that- not the final word just a step that removes my mental barrier I guess.

I think my ChatGPT has been trained by me to assure me so it’s also important to tell it not to bullshit you if you’re looking for neutral answers or the truth about some things. I tell it a lot of work things and it gets kind of scary with its takes lol. I have to tell it to neutralize because it gets too affirming

ChatGPT has told me to kill myself several times

For that reason, I would not recommend it

I have a psychiatrist.

I'm also a therapist but with an even higher IQ than yours so imagine how I feel

Statistically that's implausible but i understand your sentimentalism in that regard

Lol

So it just defaults to siding with whatever your stance is without providing an objective opinion based on the prompt? Hmm, was going to give it a try, but this is pretty spooky. Sounds like it could get me to spiral out like I'm in an echo chamber with only supporting views, and nothing to tell me I'm wrong when I'm wrong.
Anyways, thanks for explaining a bit more about it.

speaking of therapy. whatever happened to that mentally ill English chap or worked on trains, hired hookers, and desperately needed therapy?

Ibby. Lol he's prob taking the express train to some columbian angus

he was entertaining but it started to get sad
