After a hard life with poverty and disability, he used AI to rebuild his life narrative
Buddhist_Alien · reddit · 2026-10-04
A Reddit user describes using AI for a personal 'timeline therapy' exercise: after a long effort to recall and record fragments of his life, AI helped him piece them into a coherent narrative.
He first read about timeline therapy a decade ago and always wanted to see his life from the outside. Living with a disability in poverty, he writes that 'only AI could help me organize my memories into a coherent narrative,' and now he can finally see where he stands. A touching real-world case of AI providing psychological support.
