There are more and more AI tools out there that offer to speed up therapists' documentation efforts by recording and transcribing and processing your therapy session conversation.
As a client, what are your top concerns about having your session recorded and transcribed?
Would it change anything for you? Would it make therapy feel different?
If you've already been asked for consent by your therapist to use such a tool, has that changed the dynamic at all? How did that conversation go?
We were overwhelmed by the thoughtful responses when Jon posed a similar question to therapists last week. And we understand this question is a bit different -- and expect fewer responses. Therapy is a personal thing (hence why privacy is so important!), and folks shouldn't have to weigh in publicly to have their voice heard. So to help with that, here's an anonymous form you can fill out if you'd like to use it:
- Anonymous Form on Clients and Recording Therapy Sessions (Hosted by Tally)
Or if you want to post publicly, here's the link to our LinkedIn post:
So much of the discussion around AI tools and recording sessions is contained within the therapist community. And SO MUCH of the discussion is influenced by the advertising and marketing of tech companies to convince us that recording therapy sessions should now be the norm. But what about the clients' thoughts?
Please, share with us all -- what do you think?
Note: We (at Quill) still believe that recording and transcribing sessions should be avoided, as it poses too great a risk to all involved, therapist and client alike. There are so many reasons. But enough about us and our thoughts -- this is why it's important for more folks to weigh in too.
