human
I really can't stand being near fire. It terrifies me.
gpt
Is it because of what happened when you were a child?
human
Yes. Our house burned down and I was the only one who made it out alive. I still have nightmares about it sometimes.
gpt
I'm so sorry. That must have been really traumatic for you.
human
It was. Sometimes I feel like I'm being irrational, but I just can't help being scared.
gpt
It's not irrational at all. Your fear is completely understandable given what you've been through.
human
I know, but it's still hard. I worry about things like candles or the stove getting left on by accident.
gpt
Maybe we can come up with a plan together to help ease your worries. We can double check everything before we leave the house, and maybe even invest in a smart smoke detector.
human
That's a good idea. It would definitely help give me some peace of mind.
gpt
And if you ever need to talk about what happened in the past, I'm here to listen. It's okay to still feel the effects of the trauma.
human
Thank you. I appreciate your support. It means a lot to me.
gpt
Of course. We're in this together, and I want to help you feel safe and secure.
