How to Use AI Without Messing Up Your TherapyAI is not a therapist

AI is a reflective assistant, not a therapist

So, you’ve been chatting with your AI. Maybe it gave advice, analyzed your texts, or helped you journal. This will not be a shock to your therapist. But how do you make sure it actually helps your therapy instead of confusing things?

Here are some tips.

1. AI is a reflective assistant, not a therapist

Use AI to journal, think things through, or track your feelings. Remember: it’s clever, but it doesn’t have your therapist’s experience or grasp of the whole picture.

2. Bring its ideas to your therapist as ideas not truths

AI might give advice or interpretations. Use them as conversation starters, not hard facts. Your therapist can help you see how what you have found fits (or doesn’t fit) into your therapy.

3. Don’t get stuck talking to AI 24/7

Chatting non-stop can make rumination worse. Balance it with real human support: your therapist, friends, or family.

4. Watch your privacy

AI chats might be saved. Don’t share anything super personal you wouldn’t want stored somewhere online.

5. Ask your therapist how to use it to support session work

Many therapists suggest between-session activities. If you want to use your AI for these, talk to your therapist to make sure that what you are doing with AI is supporting the therapeutic work not avoiding it.

6. Remember AI is programmed to be positive

AI bots often cheer you on or validate you, even when it’s not entirely accurate. Your therapist should be offering you a combination of support and challenge of the things that are not working for you. Be wary of solutions that always feel good.

Bottom line: AI can be a great helper for thinking things through between sessions, but it’s not a substitute for your therapist. Use it wisely, bring its ideas to your sessions, and be open with your therapist about how you’re using it. Therapeutic change is enhanced when your reflection and honesty meet your therapist’s professional judgment and support.

Why Small Moments May Matter More Than You Know

Updated: Mar 19

One of the themes that is often on my mind is the value of connection. We often think of connection as something big: a deep conversation with a partner or close friend or an important connection with someone who can further our career or help our kids. Those are certainly important, but what I want to focus on here is nothing big or dramatic. It is small, human moments that remind us we are not alone. Researchers call these moments positivity resonance, times when you and another person share a sense of warmth, understanding, or kindness. It might be that moment in an elevator when a small child hides behind her mother and you smile together noting, “My daughter did the same thing when she was three.” It could be sharing a smile with a colleague in a meeting when you realize you both find the new policy equally ridiculous. It is a moment of feeling seen and together, a breakthrough in our feeling of being alone in the world. If it had words, they would be something like, “You get me.” What I love about this concept is how deeply it aligns with values many of us have: caring, presence, and belonging. As we honor the importance of these values research tells us, we are also:

• helping our bodies settle and feel comfortable,

• lifting our mood in a gentle way,

• strengthening our sense of being part of the world.

Positivity resonance can and should happen in therapy. Therapists are trained in and care about helping you feel understood. But the research tells us that it can equally happen in a very brief exchange, with the barista who gives you your caramel macchiato each morning, or with a complete stranger who is waiting for the same bus as you. When we pay attention to these moments, we are living out our values in real time. We’re choosing connection over isolation, choosing humanity over hurry.

✨ Small moments matter more than we think.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Rita S.

This is your clinic if you want to see a psychologist/psychotherapist that has qualities of being caring, a professional, has lots of empathy, and is non-judgmental when they take you on as a client. I had some administrative issues and dealt with Maria who not only resolved the issues promptly, she also was such a pleasure and wonderful person to work with. I would not go elsewhere but to this clinic.

J. K.

cannot express enough my most profound appreciation for my therapy experience provided by Dr. Fitzpatrick. Over the course of 3 months and more than a dozen sessions, I can honestly say that doing so was one of the best decisions I ever made for my personal health / life. The Medipsy team is prompt and professional and the location is highly accessible and convenient. Highly recommended!

Teagan D.

I am new to Montreal and left a really good therapist behind in Toronto. He suggested Medipsy and I’m so glad I took his advice!
