In today's podcast episode, we delve into the use of AI in private practices. The discussion stemmed from a controversial post in a counselling Facebook community about an AI tool named 'AI Supervisor,' and the mixed reactions it received. We explore the ethics, data protection, and legal concerns surrounding AI and its integration into counselling. Despite the reservations, AI presents substantial benefits, such as supporting tasks between supervision sessions and enhancing administrative efficiency.

The host shares personal experiences with AI, highlighting its role in organizing thoughts, creating structured content, and handling administrative tasks. AI tools, like ChatGPT, offer valuable assistance for brainstorming, content creation, and client communication. By customizing AI with personal preferences, users can generate content accurately reflecting their style and tone. Leveraging AI can significantly reduce the time spent on tasks like writing emails, creating worksheets, and maintaining social media presence.

The host emphasizes the importance of asking questions and understanding AI's potential rather than dismissing it out of fear. Engaging with AI, ethically and responsibly, can make private practice management more efficient and less time-consuming. Upcoming training sessions on using AI in therapy practices are also mentioned, promising to provide more insights into ethical and effective AI usage.
