Is it possible to develop a warped view of reality from using AI like ChatGPT or Gemini? What happens when vulnerable individuals—those feeling misunderstood, invalidated, or isolated—begin to rely solely on artificial intelligence to process their emotions and relationships? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological, neurological, and cultural implications of “ChatGPT Psychosis”—a phenomenon where people use AI to validate their distorted thinking without critical reflection.

We unpack how AI, though helpful, can unintentionally reinforce victim narratives, hinder personal accountability, and replace real-world interactions. We explore how this affects romantic relationships, self-perception, and emotional regulation—and what you can do if you suspect you (or someone you love) is falling into this cognitive trap.

👩‍👧 Perfect for mums raising teens in the digital age and for anyone curious about the ethics, psychology, and cultural impact of AI becoming a digital shoulder to cry on.

🎧 Trigger Warning: This episode discusses emotional isolation, delusion, and distorted thinking. It’s designed to help—without judgment.
