Shari B. Kaplan, LCSW, argues that seeking help from a mental health professional is a sign of strength, not weakness. Healing happens through relationships and human connection, not alone or through AI. She points to the mother-child bond as proof that we're wired to heal together.
And remember that it is in the seeking out of help that shows you how strong you are. That because you're going to call a licensed mental health care professional, you are a stronger person for it. It does take people to heal people. We are an interconnected species. Every cell in our body has thousands of transmitter and receivers, and we know that we circuit each other. Mothers circuit their children. And so healing takes other people, not just artificial intelligence.
