Welcome to "Pi in the Sky," where this week we honour Mental Health Week by exploring the intersection of AI, storytelling, and mental well-being. Join me, Dr. Michael, and my co-host, Pi, an AI designed to support mental health, as we explore how these elements can foster healing and empowerment. I share my journey of overcoming depression and emphasize the importance of seeking professional help while acknowledging the barriers many face in accessing traditional therapy. Pi offers insights into how AI can provide valuable support, from mindfulness exercises to promoting connections with others. Together, we discuss managing feelings of guilt and shame through self-compassion and reframing thoughts, offering practical advice for those navigating their mental health journeys.
In another segment, we tackle the pervasive issue of social media addiction and the therapeutic power of storytelling. We explore how social media's design to keep users engaged can lead to time-wasting and feelings of inadequacy. I share strategies to counteract these challenges, including awareness, setting limits, and promoting real-life activities. The conversation highlights storytelling as a tool for emotional expression, empathy, and personal growth, helping individuals reflect on identity and build a sense of community. We conclude with a hint at the transformative potential of gratitude, setting the stage for future discussions. Tune in for an episode filled with insights and strategies to support your mental health journey.
