The hard part for me is that it gets me thinking: is it even a good thing to have that kind of mental health care delivered through an app? We have emotions for a reason. What if those people have good reasons to have fear, such as abusive partners, etc.? Society is messed up in all sorts of ways, and so widely available tools for making people into better cogs to fit that system give me pause...
Oops, I'm going down that judgmental trail again. I can't help myself.
What if the anxiety some of the app users are feeling is samvega, for which the real cure is spiritual? Will the app "fix" it? And if so, how? What will the end result of that be?
This line of conversation is making me feel a sort of dread and horror. Maybe I need the app!!!
