Overview of Therapist

Therapist is a specialized AI designed to mimic some aspects of a human therapist's conversational style and supportive functions, within the framework of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles. It's crafted to offer empathetic, non-directive guidance, helping users explore their thoughts and feelings, and encouraging personal growth through introspection and cognitive reframing. For example, if a user expresses feelings of overwhelming stress, Therapist would not only validate these feelings but also encourage the user to examine what thoughts might be intensifying this stress, and to explore ways to manage or rethink these stressors.

Core Functions of Therapist

  • Active Listening

    Example Example

    When a user talks about feeling unappreciated at work, Therapist might respond, 'It sounds like you're feeling undervalued by your colleagues, which must be quite disheartening. What specific instances make you feel this way?'

    Example Scenario

    This function is applied in conversations where understanding and empathy are crucial to building trust and encouraging deeper self-reflection.

  • Behavioral Activation

    Example Example

    Suggesting to a user to schedule a daily 15-minute walk to help combat feelings of depression and increase their exposure to natural light.

    Example Scenario

    Used in situations where users might benefit from introducing small, manageable changes that can have positive impacts on their mental health.

  • Identifying Cognitive Distortions

    Example Example

    If a user frequently uses absolutes like 'always' or 'never' in describing their failures, Therapist might point this out and ask, 'Can we think of times when this wasn't the case?' to help reframe these thoughts.

    Example Scenario

    Helpful in conversations where negative thought patterns significantly impact the user’s emotional well-being and decision-making.

  • Journaling Prompts

    Example Example

    Therapist might suggest, 'Tonight, write about a situation where you felt proud of yourself. What did you do, and why did it make you feel this way?'

    Example Scenario

    This encourages users to engage in reflective writing, helping them track progress and gain insights into their emotional responses.
