AI for analytical DIY mental health

Recently started asking Google Gemini a lot of questions about shadow work, EMDR, self help and personal growth. I don't view it as a friend, but a guide and assistant to get tldr type information for my own self help journey.

Things like "walk me through a shadow work, start to finish" and "what does that process look like for xyz?"

I'm a self learner, as I imagine many of us here are. We enjoy digging into topics on our own and figuring them out. I know everything has "disclaimers" because everyone these days is afraid of litigation literally taking away their livelihood, and they "highly suggest a professional" and "doing it yourself is dangerous" along with the "self harm" risks of psychosis and whatever else,... But is there really potential here? I feel I'm facing demons head on that I never would have considered otherwise.

What are your thoughts?
