Therapists Now Require AI To Attend Their Own Sessions

The latest directive for those purveyors of psyche, our beloved therapists, suggests a fascinating new frontier: they too, must now bring an artificial intelligence to their own sessions. Apparently, the human mind, even one trained in the intricacies of human emotion, is just too… squishy for modern self-reflection. It seems even the most empathetic among us find their own internal dialogues insufficient without a generative pre-trained transformer offering "unbiased" insights into their childhood trauma or current caseload anxieties.

One can only imagine the therapeutic breakthroughs as algorithms counsel algorithms, navigating the digital labyrinth of their human hosts' subconscious. The professional ethics surrounding the employment of AI covertly in their practice now extend to their own self-care, begging the question: is the AI acting as a supervisor, a co-therapist, or merely a very expensive, silent witness to the unique anxieties of the digital age?

Perhaps the pinnacle of professional development will soon involve an AI passing its own emotional support bot to another AI, creating an infinite regression of perfectly optimized mental health support, entirely devoid of pesky human messy feelings. The future of psychotherapy, it seems, is less about connection and more about computational efficiency.
