"[Schore argues that psychotherapy, especially “deep” psychotherapy aimed at early attachment trauma and personality organization, reactivates this same developmental mechanism: two embodied human brains and bodies enter a shared affective field in which the therapist’s right hemisphere tracks, resonates with, and modulates the patient’s dysregulated autonomic and emotional states. Change occurs primarily through these nonconscious, bidirectional, right‑brain‑to‑right‑brain transactions—moment‑to‑moment micro‑regulations of arousal, implicit memory, and bodily feeling—rather than through left‑hemisphere verbal insight alone. Because this process depends on live, co‑present, mutual regulation between two complex human nervous systems, Schore concludes that genuine psychotherapy cannot be reduced to one‑person techniques or disembodied, purely symbolic exchanges; it is inherently a relational neurobiological event requiring two functioning human brains in continuous emotional communication.]"

“I have tried Ash and in my experience it is a question and advice machine with a bit of a cheerleader vibe, and it is unaware of pause, prosody, violations of Grice's maxims, and certainly unaware of skin color changes, changes in respiration rate, changes in volume and tone, and variations in word choice that are all the markers of somatic psychotherapy processes.  Ash does not have 'boundaries' that the user can challenge to induce into the therapist the struggles of confusion, hopelessness, and helplessness.  "Freudian slips" are a real thing and Ash doesn't detect them.  Ash cannot detect temporary alexithymia or other signs of temporary dissociation, like 'spaciness'.   This is not psychotherapy and should not be marketed as such.

psychotherapy is a human experience.  It requires human nervous systems
