I write my own blog posts. There's rarely a limit to the information racing through my brain or how much of it I want to share. Especially if it might help even one person. I started my website blog because marketing told me I should. Once I started I realized there are some pluses beyond marketing. Creating a blog pushes me to think deeply about a topic, including perspectives that aren't mine, sharpen what I believe, and learn a topic properly (I read the academic research, other people's blogs, and go down the occasional four-hour rabbit hole; hello, ADHD brain). What starts as one post often turns into a series, or into teaching material for clients or other therapists.

Honestly, though, I'm a shit writer. I'm long-winded, I don't transition worth a damn, and I get so caught in my own racing thoughts that I lose the point I wanted to make in the beginning. I also want my writing to be found, so it reaches more than the people who already know me, and I don't know how to do that alone. My business isn't yet at the point where I can pay someone who does. One day, I hope it is.

This is where AI comes in. I use it to brainstorm when a topic might work better as a series than a single post. And I use it to edit, tighten sentences, check structure, and catch where I've buried the point. The ideas, the clinical perspective, and the final words in every sentence are mine. I write, AI edits, and I finalize. Then I hope someone gets something from it.
