The AI Your Teen is Talking To Isn't Safe (A Counselor's Response)
Nearly 1 in 3 teenagers has tried an AI companion — and research shows these apps handle mental health crises correctly only 22% of the time. In this episode, Elisha, a licensed counselor and author, breaks down what's happening in your teenager's nervous system when they turn to AI for emotional support, why they're going there, and what you can do as a parent, counselor, or caregiver to bridge the gap. This is a clinical AND pastoral conversation — covering co-regulation, the developmental mismatch of AI companionship, and what Scripture says about the design of human connection. 🔗 Resources mentioned in this episode: Restoring You Christian Counseling (https://www.restoringyouchristiancounseling.com/) 📞 Crisis support: Call or text 988 #ElishasSpace #YouthMentalHealth #AICompanions #ChristianCounseling #ParentingTeens #TraumaInformed #NervousSystemHealing #FaithAndMentalHealthAlso watch
