I saw an ad for this, and since I was preparing for my therapist’s maternity leave, I figured this could bridge the gaps. What I found was a platform that, through targeted daily prompts that build on what is obviously on my mind, I had an outlet that I was able to bring my full self to, with no fear of judgement or backlash. It has become a part of my daily routine, and has allowed me to track mood cycles, delve into things that are truly bothering me, and treat myself with a kindness and grace that I had been struggling with while still maintaining accountability. As a librarian and educator, I am consistently wary of AI, but if this is the balance to the “assisted” papers I have to grade, I’ll take that trade!
