Making Therapy Scripts Work: Experiences and Tips


  • Hey everyone! I’ve been curious about Therapy Scripts and how they might add value to my sessions. Just the other day, I was talking with a colleague who mentioned that scripts have been a game-changer for him in group therapy settings. He said having a structured approach really helps keep everyone engaged without sidetracking, especially in groups where emotions run high. I’d love to know—do you think scripts make sense in individual sessions too, or is it better to keep them for group work?



  • Great question! I’ve actually used Therapy Scripts in both individual and group settings, and they work surprisingly well for both. In one-on-one sessions, they can guide the conversation without overwhelming it. Here’s a resource with a nice variety of scripts you might find useful Therapy Scripts https://studyinnursing.com/product-category/therapy-scripts/. I especially like that there are options you can tweak for specific cases. I’d say start simple and adjust based on the client’s response. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between structure and adaptability.


  • In group settings, scripts are essential for me—too many personalities and emotions at play! For individual therapy, though, I often let the client lead, and I use scripts only if I feel the client needs specific direction.
