Therapist Scripts Pack (What to Say)

A practical scripts pack for the moments trainees struggle most with: introducing interventions, blocking reassurance, handling resistance, setting homework, and keeping sessions focused.

These scripts are written to be:

• clear
• non-robotic
• easy to adapt
• useful in real sessions

Includes scripts for:

• OCD (ERP, reassurance blocking, mental rituals)
• GAD (worry process, IU work, “but what if…”)
• Depression (activation, low motivation, hopelessness)
• Health Anxiety (checking/reassurance, “noisy body”)
• Social Anxiety (self-focus, safety behaviours, experiments)
• PTSD (grounding, dissociation, exposure framing, meaning updating)

Best for:

• trainees who freeze and don’t know what to say next
• early-career therapists building confidence
• clinicians who want concise phrasing without over-explaining
