This group works because everyone can ask anything without worry. Five rules keep it that way. 1. Never post anything about a client, even without their name. That includes screenshots of notes or emails, and details that together could identify someone: dates, places, job, age, a rare situation. If in doubt, leave it out, or make the example up and say so. 2. If something identifying slips through, I'll take it down quietly and message you. No one gets told off. 3. AI helps with the work around therapy, never the therapy itself. Nothing reaches a client without your OK, and you check everything AI writes. 4. No question is too basic. Everyone here started somewhere, me included. 5. Disagreeing is welcome; there are good arguments on both sides of most AI questions. Be kind about it. What this is: free learning about AI for your practice. What it isn't: legal, clinical or data-protection advice. We're not affiliated with any professional body, and no tool here is endorsed. Your own body, regulator or insurer has the final word. Our independence pledge: no sponsors, no affiliate links, nothing sold in live sessions. James

Welcome to Therapist AI Academy. I'm glad you're here. This is a place to learn AI for every part of your practice, at your own pace: the admin, enquiries, CPD, handouts, and what to say when clients use ChatGPT. Wherever you're starting from is the right place, including if you're not sure AI is for you. Nobody here will push you. You can learn how it works and decide for yourself. Your first 10 minutes: Step 1: Open Start here in the Classroom and do "Your 10-minute start". It's one copy-and-paste prompt, with no client details, that finds the one job to hand to AI first. Step 2: Introduce yourself below with these four lines: First name: Where I practise (country, and state or province): The admin job that eats my week: My AI comfort, 0 to 10 (and what would move it up one point): Step 3: Join us live on Saturdays at 4pm UK, 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific. The Calendar shows it in your own time zone. One rule above all: never post anything about a client, even without their name. If something slips through, I'll take it down quietly and message you. No one gets told off. The full house rules are pinned. I reply to every introduction myself. James P.S. Quick poll below: where are you with AI right now?
