I’ve been thinking of trying one of those AI therapy tools, like Abby, Woebot, or Wysa, and I’m curious whether they’re actually helpful in practice.
I’m not expecting it to replace a real therapist, but I sometimes find it hard to get an appointment, and I just want something that’s there when I need to vent or reflect. I saw that some of them use CBT-style questions and even remember past conversations. Sounds helpful on paper, but I’m skeptical.
For anyone who’s tried one:
- Did it actually help you feel better or more understood?
- Was the advice or reflection meaningful, or just generic?
- Did you stick with it long-term or drop it after a few chats?
Also open to hearing if anyone
