I think I would feel like I was getting nowhere, or begin to wonder if someone is really listening if I had to get help via the internet or an inanimate object.

I think that actually seeing a live person helps those because they have an actual individual that can help them... I think it's the idea of having someone right there and being able to confide in them. I agree with Catherine.

When help is available online with so many reliable doctors and forums, why resort to a virtual therapist. It's like getting a virtual massage! So, keep up the good work good therapy!!

But I do not think that an automaton can be something to help humans grapple with their emotions. We need those who can hekp us who have feelings and experiences in all different walk of life and a robot in most cases just is not going to cut it.
