Excuse me when I do that.

There is so much more to know, so much more to do.

I do worry where the AI bot could go with therapy.

What do you do with a suicidal person?

What do you do with the person where the issue, and this is what a lot of my work was, separated couples, where I'm coaching one of the couples how to deal with a narcissistic ex.

it's always high stakes in in in counseling but yeah and and there there's more to counseling like i said than just exploring a person's feelings sometimes we have to teach skills and will the ai uh instrument know when to switch from active listening to facilitating skill development

Having spoken about this on my Facebook page some time ago, I do know that many people are already accessing AI for counseling and that many have found it really, really helpful.

So I'm not one to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I just want to make sure that it's sophisticated enough to discern who needs what kind of therapy as well.

It is ubiquitous, meaning bullying is everywhere.

It crosses faith, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, preference.

It crosses age.

We have five-year-olds being bullied, six, seven, eight-year-olds.

10 to 13-year-olds who have, and older, who have taken their lives the result of online bullying.

Like you said, we certainly do have it in the workplace as well.

And come on, look at politics.

It's ubiquitous in politics as well.

Yeah, when you are demeaned, when you're put down, when you are caused to feel fearful about yourself in any way or manner, when you're trying to express yourself, have a discussion, have an opinion...

It's the use of that force, that use of control one over another that defines bullying.

Right.
