Navigating the Balance Between Structure and Flexibility in Therapy Scripts
I've been experimenting with Therapy Scripts lately, trying to add some structure to my sessions without losing that authentic connection with clients. Recently, I had a session where a client unexpectedly opened up about a past trauma, and having a basic framework helped me stay grounded and respond appropriately. But I’m wondering if too much structure could make things feel less personal over time. Has anyone else found a good balance with these scripts? Or maybe tips on how to adapt them more naturally?

Totally understand where you’re coming from! When I first tried using Therapy Scripts, I worried it might make things feel a bit “stiff,” especially with clients who are sensitive to a more formal tone. But I realized that adapting each script to the client's unique situation is key.

Some scripts even allow room for personalized prompts, so you don’t lose that genuine touch. It’s been a huge help for me in staying adaptable but focused.
