I have a rule if anyone in my close circle is struggling mentally or going through a crisis, I pay for 3-5 sessions of therapy.

If you have the resources I suggest you do the same. It’s actually an investment in my mental clarity by minimizing attention traps.

The more I can pull speed bumps forward so they don’t become road blocks, the more efficient and effective I can be with my time.

What’s better:

-family member struggles, then lets their life go to shit, causing drama and problems in the people closest to you, you have to run through the emotional shrapnel

-family member is struggling, you offer to pay for counseling and coaching which equips them with tools to help avoid crisis

I know I struggle with controlling everything, and this may be one of those things … but I think I prefer an optimally harmonious environment surrounding me rather than just ignoring everything or spending copious time to help resolve issues personally.

One issue though is most of the people in my life can't afford continuing therapy sessions & it's too expensive to pay for everyone's human therapy.

Is there a good AI tool for this sort of therapy, a tool for equipping people how to deal with their issues better?
