"Smell the sea and feel the sky, let your soul and spirit fly" - Van Morrison 

Using AI Reflectively and Safely

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.

- a companion text for staying in relational contact in the digital age
