ChatGPT can give you endless information, instant insights, and will even mimic a little human comfort — but it can’t heal you. In this episode, I unpack the real role of AI in our search for growth and wholeness: the advantages (access to knowledge, new perspectives, clarity) and the limits (no intimacy, no struggle, no human relationship). Healing isn’t about collecting data; it’s about being known, facing reality, and letting the mess of being human shape you. This conversation is about where ChatGPT fits—and where it absolutely cannot—in the work of being human.
