Thanks for the interesting post! I agree that understanding ourselves better through therapy or personal development it is a great way to gain insights that could be applicable to AI safety. My personal development path got started mostly due to stress from not living up to my unrealistic expectations of how much I “should” have been succeeding as an engineer. It got me focused on self-esteem, and that’s a key feature of the AI safety path I’m pursuing.

If other AI safety researchers are interested in a relatively easy way to get started on their own path, I suggest this online course which can be purchased for <$20 when on sale: https://www.udemy.com/course/set-yourself-free-from-anger
Good luck on your boundaries work!
