The risk is not that the tools are bad. The risk is what happens to therapeutic relationship when they do the heavy lifting every day.

Therapeutic relationship being mediated in ways that reduce the attuned presence the work requires. Clinical errors when AI pattern-matches rather than genuinely listens. The resources below are built for this context. Use them to stay oriented.
