The task

When this tool helps

You want a draft script to review before sharing or recording it.

Why use a dedicated tool?

The dedicated form gives you named inputs for this task. Pro makes therapeutic orientation available in the current tool, so you can adjust those settings without composing a new instruction each time.

Pro access covers the settings marked Pro. Check the offer, usage limits, and renewal terms shown in your app before paying.

From input to draft

A concrete example

Fictional material

Sample input

What you bring

Fictional adult requests an optional, eyes-open noticing exercise to use during ordinary work stress. Keep the language gentle and include permission to stop. Do not include crisis contact numbers.

Illustrative draft

If you would like, pause and notice where you are. Look around and name a few neutral things you can see. Notice contact with the chair or floor if that feels comfortable. Stop or change the exercise whenever you need to.

Written to illustrate the task; this is not a captured Psy output. It is a draft for professional review.
