Healing Tech

Emily discusses the potential of technology to support mental health through platforms like Coa, which focus on enhancing human relationships rather than replacing them 3. She stresses the importance of maintaining integrity in using technology for mental health, ensuring it supports rather than harms emotional well-being. "My biggest nightmare is these companies that are using technology to replace what I think is the true mechanism of healing, which is relationships," she asserts 3. Scott shares his personal struggles with anger and mild depression, seeking advice on aligning his mood with his blessings, highlighting the need for understanding and addressing underlying emotional issues 3.
