    S6, E260 - How Digital Therapy is Changing Mental Health (and Privacy) Forever

    Send us a text A sleepless night, a soft prompt, and a flood of relief—the rise of AI therapy and companion apps is rewriting how we seek comfort when it matters most. We explore why these tools feel so human and so helpful, and what actually happens to the raw, intimate data shared in moments of vulnerability. From CBT-style exercises to memory-rich chat histories, the promise is powerful: instant support, lower cost, and zero visible judgment. The tradeoff is less visible but just as real—monetization models that thrive on sensitive inputs, “anonymized” data that can often be re-identified, and breach risks that turn private confessions into attack surfaces. We dig into the ethical edge: can a language model provide mental health care, or does it simulate empathy without the duty of care? We look at misinformation, hallucinated advice, and the way overreliance on AI can delay genuine human connection and professional help. The legal landscape lags behind the technology, with HIPAA often out of scope and accountability unclear when harm occurs. Still, there are practical ways to reduce exposure without forfeiting every benefit. We walk through privacy policies worth reading, data controls worth using, and signs that an app takes security seriously, from encryption to third‑party audits. Most of all, we focus on agency. Use AI for structure, journaling, and small reframes; lean on people for crisis, nuance, and real relationship. Create boundaries for what you share, separate identities when possible, and revisit whether a tool is helping you act or just keeping you company. If you’ve ever confided in a bot at 2 a.m., this conversation gives you the context and steps to stay safer while still finding support. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who might need it, and leave a review to help others find the show. Support the show
