So some are really seeing that we need to take AI and make it more of a supplementary coach or maybe even a sandbox rather than have it be something that our kids look to for answers.

Dr. David and Aaron Welsh wrote over at Psychology Today that what we're seeing inside of some of the numbers don't really tell us how AI tools are shaping young people's mental health or their relationships or even their sense of self.

They really have some critical questions that they're looking to research and And in the meantime, really want us as adults and people that care for kids to be conscious of AI's influence, especially as we look to support and raise curiosity and guidance for kids.

Now, Dr. Cathy, that's a long lead in because this is a big problem for me as somebody that lives in tech and encourages my kids to use tools as they're growing and developing and aging up, right? we've talked a lot about AI and we've talked a lot about our brains and, and you've mentioned a lot about how they're not done developing until we're in our 20s.

I was looking at somebody popped up on my Instagram feed and they helped therapists and it was like how to get cash pay therapy clients.

And literally the five slides are like, list yourself on Google with all of the proper keywords and list yourself on Psychology Today with all of the proper keywords, like have a website, like these really basic things.

And like this guy, the client you talked about from small town Colorado, he probably just didn't have the keywords right.

And that was the main thing that you changed for him.

And obviously, if there's hallucinations, depending on obviously your specific situation with your neurologist, a lot of the times those need to be targeted quite closely as well.

With regard to mental health and finding a psychotherapist to help, I just want to throw out that Psychology Today has a search tool that is quite good.

It doesn't have everybody that may be available in your area, but there's some settings you can choose in the search tool where you can say you want to search for somebody that's focused on chronic diseases or something to that effect, chronic health issues.

And that can be a useful way to find somebody you might want to work with in that way.

But according to Mr. Kelly, he says that this has all the hallmarks of staging.

Now, what is staging, you might ask? Well, according to Psychology Today, staging and posing means that the FBI profiler may also encounter deliberate alterations of the crime scene or the victim's body position at the crime scene of the murder.

If these alterations are made for the purpose of confusing or otherwise misleading criminal investigators, then they are called staging and they are considered to be part of the killer's MO.

So that's a little glimpse at what staging is and what John Kelly is talking about in this article when he's talking about staging.

turn in his typing and I would erase his name and put my name on it.

We had discussed going on psychology today where she was aware.

The attorney goes, I'm sorry, you got to listen to this again.

This is crazy.

We had discussed going on Psychology Today where she was aware of the website Psychology Today.

Listen to that again.

What resources did you provide her with her suicidal tendencies and her three kids at home that she might murder? We made her aware of Psychology Today, a website.

website

Did you see the other day, Slater, I played, her psychiatrist was on the stand and they asked her what kind of services they offered her.

And the psychiatrist goes, oh, we told her to go to psychologytoday.com. And the lawyer's like, excuse me? She goes, we told her to go to the website psychologytoday.

He's like, you told her to

go to a website.

I played that clip on the show.

The psychiatrist from the stand is like, we told her to go to

psychologytoday.com. Oh, boy.

Oh, boy, Steph.

that to people in the past and they used it.

Or it might just be psychology.com.

I will do more research and include that on it.

Also, you can always go through your insurance platforms to look for them.

But the quickest way for you to get your next client is to be seen more often.

So if you know now that they need to see 50 to 70 pieces of content over that 90 day period, which is about a piece of content a day, then um you've got a choice you you can you know do um i don't know you might do two or three things on a wednesday and just do that every single wednesday or you might say well you know i will do a post and i will share the post to my stories and i will do that every second day i mean the quicker you get through these touch points the quicker you build the trust the connection the rapport you get the client if you're not doing any marketing and you think your website is the marketing and you think your google business profile and your psychology profile are the marketing you're deluding yourself this is these are a directory like Psychology Today and your Google business, they're tools, yes, that can surface you, but they're passive, right? You can't just set those things up and take your foot off the marketing accelerator and wait for inquiries.

And I think this is the fallacy of private practice.

that so many women think, oh, this is just what happens.
