empathy is not the only thing a therapist provides - they have eyes to actually check out the client's actual life - thus the propensity for "AI" to encourage clients' delusions

who says we can't change society that quickly? you made up your mind on that yourself without consulting anyone else about their wishes.

in the USA we elect people frequently and the entire population just up and goes along with it.

so therapy for you will be about more than just empathy. not everything you think or do or say is adaptive.

to your point, not everyone wants to give up their falsehood. yet, honesty is a massive cornerstone of therapy progress.

i would simply have to start with empathy for you to welcome you in if you won't respond with security to the world telling you that you internalized a negative message (relationship) from the past (about people).
