Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this workshop for psychotherapists or mental health professionals?
No. This workshop is not only for therapists.
It is designed for anyone who already uses ChatGPT, especially in moments of emotional discomfort, stress, or overthinking — and wants to use it safely, consciously, and effectively.
Is this workshop only for people with anxiety?
No. Anxiety is a common reason people turn to AI, but this workshop is for anyone who wants clarity and practical tools.
The workshop has two parts:
- Part 1 — How the Mind Works & How Change Really Happens (1.5 hours)
You will learn how the psyche works (conscious and subconscious processes), and why information alone often doesn’t lead to real change — whether the information comes from books, webinars, therapy, or AI.
This is core psychological knowledge that I share with many new clients — but usually we have only 5–10 minutes for it. Here, we will go deeper.
- Part 2 — Create Your Personal AI Assistants (1.5 hours)
You will build your own custom AI assistant based on your personal needs:
-
anxiety and racing thoughts
-
emotional journaling and awareness
-
habit-building and reminders
-
reflection between therapy sessions
…and more. If you have a different goal, we will adapt your assistant to your request.
-
-
Do I need to already use ChatGPT?
Yes — ideally. Part 1 is valuable for everyone, but Part 2 is hands-on and uses ChatGPT to build your assistants.
However these principles are universal.
You will learn core psychological and practical principles that can be applied with different AI tools — not only ChatGPT.
The goal is not to teach one platform, but to help you understand how to use AI responsibly and effectively in general.
-
Do I need the paid version of ChatGPT?
No. The paid version is not required.
Some tools work in the free version, and some advanced features work in the paid version. You can decide later.

Dear Oksana,
Thank you so much for today’s wonderful workshop.
I truly enjoyed being part of it. The session was very inspiring, thoughtful, and deeply meaningful for me. I especially appreciated the way you explained the different levels of the mind and shared practical tools that we can use to better understand and work with our emotions.
You created such a warm, open, and supportive space for reflection and learning. It was not only interesting and insightful, but also very enriching on a personal level.
Thank you for the care and energy you put into this workshop. I am very grateful for the experience.
Kind regards,
Valentina 
Thank you so much, Oksana! I am deeply impressed by how you were able to present this complex topic, how clearly you structured the information, and how well everything was organized.
The workshop was informative, inspiring, and very warm.
Thank you to Olga Luhavaya for the delicate support.
Often you leave a meeting and immediately forget what it was about. But after this workshop, I keep mentally returning to it, reflecting, rethinking, and integrating the tools we received.
Once again, a huge thank you!
