What ChatGPT Is Good For (and What It's Not) When You're Feeling Anxious or Stuck pt.2
ChatGPT can be a helpful tool for emotional help and mental wellness – when used appropriately and with the right expectations.
Many Singaporeans use AI chatbots to:
process overwhelming thoughts
explore work-related stress
prepare for difficult conversations
express and understand emotions through writing learn about anxiety, relationships, and emotional distress
For those in Singapore who tend to overthink or feel emotions deeply, this structured approach can provide initial relief and clarity.
However, it’s important to understand ChatGPT’s limitations: ChatGPT operates primarily at the cognitive level.
It cannot:
help regulate intense emotional distress
identify signs of burnout or emotional shutdown
process trauma stored in the body
heal deep-rooted relationship patterns or emotional abuse
From a trauma-informed perspective, while intellectual understanding is valuable, it alone cannot create lasting emotional healing and change.
We understand that AI tools like ChatGPT can work alongside professional therapy – it’s not an either-or choice. Our experienced therapists specialize in helping people heal from emotional abuse, attachment issues, trauma and process emotional distress through genuine human connection. Most individuals struggling with attachment wounds, trauma, or abandonment issues need professional emotional help to develop healthy coping skills
and emotional regulation. All in the Family Counselling Centre.

If you’re experiencing emotional distress or seeking help to heal from emotional abuse, our counsellors provide the empathetic support and evidence-based techniques needed for deep healing.
