CBT? Cock and Ball Torture? I think you’re going to the wrong therapist. Sounds like my kind of party though. Got an address or…?
Also - a lot of US therapists have fundamentally useless and unhelpful approaches. CBT is treated as the hammer for all nails, even when it is completely ineffective for many people. It’s easy to train therapists on though, and sending someone home with a worksheet and a Program is an easy “fix.”
There’s also the undeniable influence of fuckers like Dr. Phil. A lot of therapists view their job as forcing you to be “normal” rather than understanding you as a human being.
We need more Maslow and Rogers, and a lot less Skinner.

It is an unfortunately shared initialism. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Any reasonnably competent LLM is way WAY better at self-therapy than the Dr Phil McDonalds comformity therapy
And that’s arguably better than doing nothing about itBut yes, I can easily make an LLM tell my to KYS
Then report to the press about it while downplaying the context to get there.
and then get the AI company to further lobotomized the model so it can’t be used to undermine this professional class

Thank you. There’s the cost, I can’t find a therapist for $40 a session, but even that would be prohibitively expensive. But people never talk about how Therapy in capitalist society is just a cash cow business, and the easiest most profitable methods are widespread. Most therapists, or presumably the experts being quoted on the dangers of talking to a language model, are ineffective for most people.
