Join Dr. Todd Frye as he examines the clinical mechanisms that distinguish human-delivered psychotherapy from AI-based mental health tools and translates them into applied intervention skills. Recent Harvard research found that AI is most often used for relational connection and therapy. Clinicians need both an evidence base for the value of human treatment and concrete strategies that operationalize what that value consists of.
This training moves beyond a general defense of psychotherapy to identify specific therapeutic functions, real-time attunement, embodied co-regulation, non-collusive validation, and rupture-repair processes that current AI systems do not reliably perform, and trains participants in interventions from attachment-based and experiential models (including AEDP and polyvagal-informed practice) that make deliberate use of those functions.
The training also addresses a practical clinical competency: how to assess, discuss, and integrate client AI use within the therapeutic relationship rather than treating it as an external threat to be dismissed.
This is available to take in person, online, and a recorded option.
