Room for your
clinical presence.
These scripts are offered for trained therapists to use in their work. Let your relationship with the client or group guide the language, pace, and depth of each invitation.
Estimated times include the written pauses and a gentle reading pace. Conversation and reflection add time. Breathing is always optional and unforced.
Faith, choice, and welcome
Five practices use no religious language. More Than the Role You Carry is clearly labeled Christian faith-based and is intended for clients who welcome that integration.
