AI-generate therapy materials

You can view (and print) examples of what I generated with this prompt. They have "grownup" content but written at a lower reading level so that survivors don't feel like children.

Copy this prompt into an of the AIs (ChatGPT, etc.) and it'll prompt you for a reading level and create exercises for you. A different one every time you run it.
