AI Setup Guide for Carers & Partners
AI Setup Guide for Carers & PartnersSupporting someone with PTSD or depression can feel invisible. No one prepares you for the emotional weight of being on the other side of it — the watching, the adjusting, the walking on eggshells you didn't sign up for. You're probably the person everyone assumes is fine, because you're not the one who's sick. Your needs aren't smaller. They're just not being asked about.Sometimes what you need most isn't another answer. It's somewhere safe to put down what you've been carrying.This guide is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline.This guide sets up Claude as a private companion, configured in about fifteen minutes, for the realities of caring for someone with PTSD or depression — not a generic chatbot. Five steps: create a Project, paste in the companion personality, upload the guide, and it's ready. It's already configured to recognise carer burnout, hypervigilance, guilt, and ambiguous loss before you type a single word.It knows to ask about you, not just them.Because carers need somewhere to be seen too.It lives inside a dedicated Claude Project, so it remembers the personality and context you've given it — you're not starting from scratch every conversation, the way you would asking a generic AI chat one-off questions.You know the moment. It's late, they're finally asleep, and you're sitting there replaying something that was said, or wasn't. There's no one to call at that hour. This is what it's built for — somewhere to type "I feel guilty for being frustrated with him" or "they had a really bad night, what's mine to fix and what isn't," and get a real conversation back, not a script.By the end of this guide, you'll have: A companion ready to support you in about 15 minutes, with no technical experience required Twelve guided activities for the days you have five minutes or the days you have fifty — short, structured exercises for specific moments (naming what you're carrying, checking in on your own state, working through a specific incident) rather than a program you have to complete in order Ready-to-use prompts for guilt, exhaustion, difficult conversations, and the things carers often struggle to find the words to ask Built-in safety checks — if anything you share suggests real danger, it points you to crisis resources instead of just continuing the conversation A crisis resources page, so it's there if you need it Instant PDF download, readable on any device, yours to keep This is for you if: You're supporting a partner, family member, or friend living with PTSD or depression You're exhausted by always being the steady one You've thought about using AI for support but don't know where to start You want something set up and working tonight, not another article telling you to "practice self-care" I spent ten years as an emergency medical dispatcher, listening to people in crisis. Later, I lived through six years of PTSD and severe depression myself. This guide combines those experiences with the research and frameworks that helped me understand what carers often carry in silence.— Brian Walsh, BB HopeIs this a substitute for therapy?No. This guide is a practical resource, not a clinical tool — designed for the moments between sessions, or for people who aren't yet working with a professional.Do I need a diagnosis to use this?No. If the description sounds like where you are, it was written for you.Is this written by a therapist?No. I'm not a therapist. This guide draws on my own experience and the research I found most useful during it.How do I access the guide after purchase?You'll receive an instant download link. No account required.
