Why I Use AI in My Healing

Why I use AI in my healing: how it helps me understand my emotions, calm my nervous system, and turn my inner work into compassionate tools and content.

’ve been reflecting on how openly I talk about using AI for healing, and thought it might be helpful to share the deeper reasons why I choose to.

But I don’t use AI because it’s trendy, or because it’s a shortcut.

I use it because it helps me slow down enough to hear myself.

It helps me sort through thoughts that feel tangled.

It helps me find language for emotions I’ve carried for years.

And it helps me shape my healing into tools that might support someone else.

It’s not replacing anything human.

It’s helping me connect to parts of myself I have never known how to reach.

That feels worth sharing — even if it still makes me a little nervous to say it out loud.

Thank you for being here with me as I learn how to share not just what I create, but how I heal along the way.
