Welcome back to episode 2 recorded on March 19th and April 22, 2026. Hosted by Rejoe Mohan, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), and Psychotherapist at @nofearcounselling8677.

Ofir Vaisman, RCC, CCC, Founder, and Clinical Director of No Fear Counselling is the guest. Ofir is an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist that has worked with over 1000 couples since 2012.

This episode explores timely questions around technology and human connection. Ofir discusses how AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used by clients — especially teenagers — as emotional support between sessions or even as substitutes for therapy. He weighs the pros and cons, viewing AI as a powerful supplement or adjunct tool rather than a full replacement for real human therapy or relationships.

Drawing thoughtful parallels to calculators, video games, virtual worlds like Second Life, and other coping mechanisms, Ofir emphasizes that the core issue isn’t the technology itself but underlying pain, trauma, and escapism. He addresses concerns about AI replacing human relationships (including lifelike dolls/robots), celebrity breakups and attachment patterns in the entertainment industry, and why some people lean on escapes instead of confronting interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges.

Balanced, insightful, and forward-looking, this episode offers a therapist’s grounded perspective on AI’s growing role in emotional processing and what it means for human connection in the modern age. Perfect for anyone curious about technology, mental health, and relationships.
