Preserving Your Personal Style

Category: For Practitioners Reading time: ~3 min

Overview

One of the most common concerns among experienced practitioners is that using a platform will homogenise their work — that every script will sound the same. TheraScripts is built around the opposite principle: your style is the starting point, not an afterthought.

Therapeutic style selection

When you begin a new script, you select your therapeutic approach. The platform currently supports:

  • Ericksonian / indirect suggestion
  • Direct suggestion
  • CBT-integrated
  • Solution-focused
  • NLP-based
  • Mindfulness / acceptance-based
  • Relaxation-focused
  • The Three Principles
  • And others, with more being added

Your selection shapes the language patterns used throughout the script — the sentence structures, the use of metaphor, the pacing and tone of suggestions, the framing of therapeutic content.

How style adaptation works

Each module in the library has multiple language variants tagged to different styles. When the AI selects a module for your session, it draws on the variant matched to your chosen approach. An induction written in Ericksonian style reads and sounds very different from a direct-suggestion equivalent of the same content — the platform respects this.

Beyond module selection, bridging language (the transitions between modules) is also adapted to maintain a coherent stylistic voice throughout the script.

Your voice, not a generic voice

If you have a distinctive way of phrasing something — a preferred metaphor, a closing ritual, a specific language pattern you always use — you can:

  1. Edit the script to include it directly
  2. Save your edit as a custom module for reuse across future sessions
  3. Set preferred styles in your workspace settings so they apply by default

Over time, the platform learns your default preferences, reducing the configuration needed for each new script.

What you cannot change via style settings

Style selection governs language and delivery — it does not override safety rules. If a particular approach is contraindicated for a client (for example, certain directive techniques for clients flagged with specific concerns), those flags will still appear in the safety audit regardless of style settings.
