Can AI really replace a therapist or coach?

On the surface, it feels supportive. AI listens, flatters, and gives advice based on what you type in.

But that’s also the problem.

AI can only see what you tell it. It can’t dig deeper, challenge your blind spots, or hold you accountable the way a human coach or therapist can.

Using AI may feel comforting in the moment, but it won’t give you the transformation that comes from real human connection, lived experiences, and the hard questions that spark growth.

In this episode, I share why human guidance is irreplaceable and why relying on AI for mental health support can even be dangerous.
