Why We Still Need Each Other

What can happen between two human beings that technology cannot reproduce? In this thoughtful exploration of therapy in the age of AI, psychotherapist Dorothy Zennuriye Juno considers five uniquely relational experiences of psychotherapy—from co-regulation and being witnessed to the quiet ways another person comes to know what we don't always say aloud. This isn't a conversation about choosing between technology and human connection. It's an invitation to recognize that different moments in our lives may call for different forms of companionship. Sometimes wisdom is enough. Sometimes reflection helps. And sometimes what we need is another person. We were never meant to navigate our inner lives entirely alone.
