Healing through AI: Transforming Trauma

Episode 6,   May 31, 2023, 09:00 PM

Midjourney is one of the most powerful visual tools for generating images. It can be used to change our perspective on the events we have experienced. Traumatic situations often get deeply etched in our minds, becoming fixed pictures that haunt us. While we cannot erase what happened or alter the facts, we can choose another viewpoint, reframe the experience, observe it from a different angle, visually play with it, and change the narrative we tell ourselves. By changing our thinking, we can rewire our brains. Millions of people have experimented with affirmations and vision boards to change their lives, and I firmly believe that visually altering our perception of the past can help regulate our emotions.

When the telephone was first introduced, it marked a significant change in human communication. For the first time, the visual and auditory aspects of communication were separated, leading to people doodling while speaking on the phone. However, with the advent of smartphones, distant communication became visual once again.

AI is an integral part of technological advancement, and I believe it holds many positive aspects. It is just one step in the long journey we will all embark upon. For those who oppose it, they are free to live in seclusion if they wish.

Today, I want to shed light on a lesser-discussed aspect of AI: it's potential to heal and reduce the pain caused by traumatic events. Allow me to share some vulnerable experiences to convey this idea authentically.
