This article reports that some therapists are secretly using ChatGPT in sessions.

Not for note-taking - but rather, typing the responses of their client in order to provide suggested "next responses" for the therapist.

It is not an "excuse," or our fault, that our nervous system was busy keeping us alive & relatively "safe" during those years we should have been building our sense of self; and there is absolutely no shame in having to start now in figuring out who we are & what we're all about.

Yes, I understand he benefits from the selling of supplements too, but this argument has been less compelling for me.
