Nouthetic is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real health product behind this page.

Generates "biblical counseling" responses for pastors. nouthetic counseling means "all psychological problems are sin problems." depression is sin. anxiety is sin. PTSD is sin. jake built this because he believes "the Bible is sufficient for counseling." jake read a book by Jay Adams once. jake forgot most of it. jake built the assistant from what he remembered. what he remembered was "it's all sin." jake is sincere. jake is telling depressed people they're sinning. jake is wrong. jake is always sincere and always wrong.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
