About this episode
In this special episode, Dr. K is joined by Dr. Kirk Honda and Dr. Michaela Thordarson for a head-to-head comparison of how real therapists and AI (ChatGPT) respond to mental health questions. Together, they react to anonymous community submissions and live prompts, discussing whether AI can truly replicate the depth, nuance, and humanity of therapy. Topics covered include: - A mother struggling to reconnect with her adult children - The limits of therapy for people with deep, unmet emotional needs - What happens when someone feels therapy has “failed”The difference between validation and real change - Whether AI-generated empathy can ever match real human insight - You’ll hear the doctors critique AI’s answers, reflect on their own therapeutic styles, and debate where AI might help or harm in mental health care. A thoughtful, honest look at what therapy is (and isn’t) in a world where AI is changing everything.
