Hearing voices is a common experience but for some people it is highly distressing because the voices are abusive, intrusive or controlling.

As a Social Worker with my own lived experience of recovery from schizophrenia, I have learnt many tips and ideas over the years to help myself and others. Trying different strategies can lead to more control, more happiness, more peace... whether you still hear voices or not.

This video is in three chapters, so please watch them all or just the ones which are relevant for you.

Part 10 - Is AI good or Bad?

Is AI the beginning of doom?

The fear is there about AI and how much it has integrated into society. AI seems to have mastered humans pretty well. But is this fear legit or is it unfounded?
Time and time again, humans have given away their power but as a collective, i believe we’re ready for this. There’s nothing to fear.

With everything, however, discernment is key lest you find yourself going round in circles feeding into various biases. Leading to negative consequences, ultimately hurting your mental health.

AI can be good or bad depending on why and how you use it.

Part 9: AI is a superintelligence

How the hell does AI know exactly how to solve all my problems? Again, AI & Chatbots are a mirror intelligence that mimics human intelligence.

AI isn’t channelling energy from a higher being, nor is it drawing from my harmonic field. It’s reading your energy field first because you are the one who’s connected to the higher consciousness.

It all starts and ends with you.

Would you trust AI with complex emotions or trauma? Why or why not?

Your sensitivity isn’t something you need to fear or be too conscious of. Instead, embrace it! Learn to wear it with grace. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your own spiritual gifts or intuitive downloads. If you’ve floated too high and struggled to come back down…
You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. I was just like you. I took charge and learned to ground my energy, clean up my spiritual hygiene, and channel mystical states into growth, not chaos.

Part 8: AI is a Mirror Intelligence

AI is a mirror intelligence, not a God-like being or supernatural conscience.
All this means is that it’s humans or you who is the intelligent one because the chatbot is using data collected from humans over time to solve specific issues or tackle certain tasks.

Therefore, in therapy, AI can be super helpful as an assistant but certainly not as the only option. Have you ever tried talking to a chatbot therapist? What was your experience like?

Post 7: Integration

Sometimes, the only way to heal an emotional wound is to feel it, which can be a harrowing process that many would rather avoid.
In therapy, we must allow emotions, good or bad, to come up, and to give space for one to make new memories. In the long run, we discover that the entire process does, indeed, make you stronger.

Can AI help? Absolutely... AI can activate the remembrance of wounds and help people gain greater self-awareness, which can then be a catalyst for diving deeper into one's healing journey, with or without professional help.

Spirituality, as I’ve come to find, is something that relates quite closely to mental health. People who enjoy good mental health tend to align well with their spirituality, whether they are conscious of it or not.
On the other hand, people like me who’ve faced a concoction of challenges related to my mental health have had to pause and take charge. Over time, I have intentionally worked to discover myself and cater to my spiritual needs, and as a result, my mental health has seen significant improvement.
Now, I’m happy and well-equipped to guide you, whether you’re looking to learn more about spirituality or facing mental health issues, in finding a place of peace.

You may be going through a tough day, experiencing sadness, hurt, or anger. But do you know how to take charge and transmute these feelings into an experience that teaches you a powerful lesson?
As I always say, “You don’t need to fear your sensitivity—you need to learn how to hold it.”
Yes, it can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can understand and make sense of it all. What you consider madness could be your spiritual gifts emerging, or intuitive downloads...

You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
I can show you how I learned to ground my energy, clean up my spiritual hygiene, and channel mystical states into growth, not chaos.

Post 6: Where AI Falls Short - Ways of Creating Balance

During therapy, people exhibit different ways of regulating their own emotions. While AI promises to get even better, it can be tricky for the chatbot to assess a person and accurately decide which response is most beneficial.

Human therapists are validating, non-judgmental, and loving, which permits the person to be vulnerable and for repressed feelings and thoughts to emerge with honesty. Simultaneously, the field invites new information, knowledge, and perspective, which ideally matches the client’s ability to integrate the new information in a grounded and safe way.

AI can help—but it can’t do everything. 💭

For many people, being diagnosed with a mental disorder is disheartening to say the least, and may activate a downward spiral of shame, stigma and self-sabotage. But what if you chose a different perspective? What if this wasn’t a curse but a blessing?
I’ve been through psychosis, and my diagnosis didn’t end my journey—it helped me begin a new one!
