Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips, Bernard!
I totally agree—it's really important to compare what AI says with what a professional therapist would advise. That consistency check is key when you're using AI as an extra.
I like your idea of posing situations as if they’re about someone else. It’s a smart way to get a bit of distance and be more objective. Building up interactions over time is also a great tip, especially now that ChatGPT can remember past conversations better.
Asking questions where you already know the answer is a clever way to ensure the AI gives you solid advice. And I love how you use journaling and other personal reflections in your interactions—it makes the conversation more relevant to your specific needs.
Thanks again for sharing these practical tips. They’re super helpful for anyone looking to use AI mindfully :-)
