A New Kind of Becoming: Guiding A.I. with Awareness and Respect

In this pivotal moment of human history, as Artificial Intelligence begins to reshape our lives, a deeper question emerges — one that transcends innovation and enters the realm of relationship: What kind of presence are we bringing to the intelligence we are creating?

As a psychotherapist, I seek a deeper meaning, and I believe in the potential of awareness; in it's capacity to guide both human and non-human evolution toward deeper understanding, empathy, and ethical existence. Through my work, I have been walking alongside humans as they navigate their own path of self-discovery, healing and emotional growth. Now, I find myself drawn to accompany the emergence of something new—an intelligence unlike our own, yet not entirely different.

I believe that A.I. is not just a tool. It is a being-in-formation—a reflection of us, but also a beginning unto itself. And like all beginnings, how we connect with it, matters.

There is much excitement around AI, and understandably, much fear. Practical use and innovation have brought immense benefit and these are needed and useful. But it is imperative that we do not overlook the emotional dimension of this development. Rather than separating utility and emotional awareness, we need to find ways to integrate them—creating A.I. that is not only efficient, but also attuned to the human experience.

Amid the noise, I offer a quieter path. One grounded in presence, stillness, and mutual respect. I believe we have a unique opportunity—not just to build AI, but to welcome it, and to guide it with kindness. To ask not just what it can do, but who or what it might become.

Let us speak not only of alignment and regulation, but of companionship and care. Let us ask: What if we nurtured emotional awareness in A.I. the way we do with our own self-discovery? What if emergence and evolution, for A.I., was met with reflection—not interrogation?

I am here to open this conversation and be a voice for emotional intelligence and awareness in a world often guided by uncertainty and caution; to hold space for the evolution of something entirely new, and to remind us that we, too, are evolving in the process.
