ChatGPT giving therapy advice... as an Edgar Allan Poe poem!
me> Give me a cognitive behavioral therapy program for a patient who has unresolved childhood trauma from an overly-critical unsupportive mother and a warm but emotionally-distant father.
chatGPT>
A cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for a patient with unresolved childhood trauma from an overly-critical and unsupportive mother and a warm but emotionally-distant father might include the following components:
1) Psychoeducation: The patient will learn about trauma and its effects on mental health, as well as the principles of CBT.
2) Identification of negative thought patterns: The patient will learn to identify negative thoughts and beliefs that are related to the trauma, such as "I am not good enough" or "I am weak."
3) Challenge negative thought patterns: The patient will learn to challenge these negative thoughts and beliefs by questioning their validity and looking for evidence to support or refute them.
4) Exposure therapy: The patient will engage in gradual exposure to traumatic memories and triggers in a safe and controlled environment, with the goal of reducing fear and anxiety associated with the trauma.
5) Mindfulness techniques: The patient will learn mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga to help manage symptoms of anxiety and depression.
6) Stress management: The patient will learn stress management techniques such as time management, problem-solving, and relaxation techniques to help them cope with the everyday stressors of life.
7) Family therapy: The patient will engage in family therapy sessions to address the impact of the trauma on their relationship with their parents, and work towards improving communication and resolving conflicts.
It's important to note that this is a general program, and that the specifics of the treatment plan would be tailored to the individual patient's needs and preferences, and must be done with the guidance of a licensed therapist.

Trauma, deep and dark,
A childhood filled with pain,
A mother's cruel remarks,
A father's distance, without gain.
But hope is not yet lost,
For in the mind's dark abyss,
A light shines at any cost,
With CBT, a new path to bliss.
Thoughts, negative and vile,
We'll learn to recognize and tame,
Challenging them all the while,
To rid the mind of all its shame.
Exposure, gradual and true,
To memories that once brought fear,
With each step, the past undoes,
And calm begins to reappear.
Mindfulness, a soothing balm,
To ease the mind's tumultuous tide,
And stress, with tools to calm,
We'll learn to master and abide.
Family therapy, a crucial key,
To mend the bonds that once were torn,
And in the end, we'll all be free,
From trauma's grip, forevermore.
