Summary

Do you talk to AI like it’s your therapist? Is it wrong to prefer interactions with a machine over a human? And how is our pursuit of comfort killing our sense of confidence and meaning?

We explore why people are forming real bonds with artificial companions, how these tools can actually help, and what we risk when we forget the value of real connection. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2025/06/ai-therapy-connection COACHING → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com BOOK → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.
