"Smell the sea and feel the sky, let your soul and spirit fly" - Van Morrison
Using AI Reflectively and Safely
- a companion text for staying in relational contact in the digital age
This guide may be for you if…
You use AI to reflect on emotions, relationships or personal experiences; you sometimes turn to it between therapy sessions; you’ve noticed that conversations with AI can feel surprisingly personal or reassuring; or you want to make use of AI’s reflective possibilities without losing your own discernment, embodied experience or connection with other people.
AI is increasingly being used for reflection, emotional organisation and meaning-making — and sometimes these interactions can feel surprisingly personal.
Using AI Reflectively and Safely explores why this happens, what we bring from our own relational histories into our encounters with AI, and how to use reflective technology without losing discernment, embodied experience or human connection.
Grounded in relational psychotherapy and including a practical AI Reliability Framework, the book offers a thoughtful middle path between fearing AI and idealising it.

Reviews
As the world appears to move faster and faster into the AI space, it’s human nature to either love or loathe it. Josie’s paper on Using AI Reflectively and Safely provides firstly a gentle exploration of the role AI is starting to play in the emotional support and self-reflection space, then invites us to explore this new tool in a discerning and conscientious way and finally provides a practical framework for how we may go about this. I found it a very thought provoking read.
