Before / After
I'm stressed about work.
/therapist I'm stressed about work and I don't know if I should quit or push through.
What changes in Claude's response
Claude asks clarifying questions before offering advice. It reflects what you said back ('it sounds like you're feeling…'), and it doesn't jump to solutions. The output isn't therapy — but the structure helps you think through emotional decisions you'd otherwise just stress-spiral about.
When NOT to use /therapist
Avoid /therapist for actual mental health crises. It's a thinking framework, not a medical tool — for serious stuff, talk to a human.
