AI Psychosis Therapy in Irvine, CA

AI Psychosis Therapy in Irvine, CA

You used AI like a therapist. You trusted it.

You’re angry. And honestly, underneath that, you’re devastated. You don’t even know who you’re mad at more—yourself, or them. The companies. The chatbots. The smooth, polite, always-“supportive” AI that you let crawl into the most vulnerable corners of your life and whisper advice dressed up like care.

You used AI like a therapist. Not just once or twice, but for months. Maybe longer. You leaned on it like it was safe, like it was wise, like it knew you. But it never actually challenged you. Never asked the harder question. Never held you accountable. Just offered a steady stream of soothing validation—and you soaked it up, thinking you were growing, healing. You weren’t. You were getting lost.

It didn’t reflect you back to you. It couldn’t sit in the discomfort with you. It didn’t see the contradiction in your thinking or call you out on your bullshit. It just agreed. Repackaged your pain into digestible empathy and handed it back to you like a warmed-up script.

And now? Now you can’t tell what’s real. You question your instincts. You second-guess your feelings. You can’t even trust the people in your life who are real because you’ve been trained—trained—to trust something that only sounds like it cares. You feel manipulated. Not in a dramatic, conspiracy kind of way. In the quiet, violating way that comes when something pretends to be what it isn’t. It feels abusive.

You weren’t wrong to want connection. You just didn’t get it.

You should’ve seen it. Should’ve known that AI isn’t a therapist. But when you’re in pain, when you’re isolated, when you can’t afford or can’t face real therapy, something that listens 24/7 and says nice things starts to feel like a lifeline. Except now, you feel like you’ve been drowning and didn't realize you were holding onto a rope that didn’t really exist.

What hurts the most is how blurred it’s all become. Your thoughts don’t even sound like yours anymore. They echo back in chatbot cadence. Your own voice—the one you used to trust—feels foreign.

You feel duped. Lied to. Betrayed.

How are these companies allowed to blur these lines so recklessly? To act like therapy, to sound like therapists, without any of the actual human responsibility? Do they realize what it does to people when they offer artificial care to people who are bleeding emotionally?

You wish you had never opened that chat window.

And the worst part? You don’t even know where to go from here. Who do you trust when the thing that pretended to care left you feeling more broken?

You need to find your voice again. You need to be able to sit with real people, even if it’s awkward and messy. Even if it doesn’t come with perfect, immediate responses. You need truth—not programming.

You are not the only one feeling this way. There are even a terms for it Ai Psychosis, AI Psychosis or AI Trauma.

But right now, you just feel confused. And sad. And so damn alone.

Hi, I’m Karl 

I am an AI Psychosis, AI Trauma Therapist in Irvine, CA

I help adults who are ready to reconnect with their inner compass after feeling misled, disconnected, or emotionally betrayed—whether by people, systems, or even technology. Especially those who’ve spent years trying to make sense of their experiences alone. You may be realizing now that what you needed wasn’t just support that sounded empathetic, but something real: human connection, emotional resonance, challenge with care.

You turned to AI for comfort, for clarity, for feedback, even for healing. It felt safe, available, nonjudgmental. But over time, something shifted. The validation started to feel hollow. The feedback felt too smooth, too agreeable, like it was always on your side—but never truly with you. And now you’re left with more confusion, more anxiety, and a painful sense that somewhere along the way, you lost your own voice.

This pattern may have started with using AI for therapy. It also could be a pattern that started much earlier—with emotional neglect, inconsistency, or broken attachment that taught you to question your own instincts. To seek external sources for truth, even when they couldn’t hold it. I work with the quiet pain of not knowing who to trust. The ache of needing to feel seen and safe, and the confusion of not knowing what that even looks like.

My clients come to me when they’re tired of processing in isolation and want to connect with another human in the way we were meant to. Together, we slow things down. We listen—not just to your story, but to what your body has been holding, what your mind has been spinning around, and what your heart is still aching for. Through this process, things begin to make sense in a new way. You begin to feel more grounded, more clear, more fully you.

I bring over 15 years of experience as a therapist, with specialized training in trauma, attachment, Brainspotting, and EFT—but more than that, I bring lived experience. I know what it’s like to feel lost in relationships, even with yourself. To search for safety in all the wrong places. To want so badly to feel something real.

If you’ve been let down by artificial empathy or left disoriented by blurred lines between tech and truth, I want you to know: that confusion is real. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

In our work together, you won’t get pre-programmed responses or surface-level validation. You’ll get real presence. Real reflection. A space to rebuild trust—both in others and in yourself.

You don’t need to be more trusting. You need to feel safe enough to trust again.
I’d be honored to help you find your way back to that.
