Overview
This guide accompanies the Getting Started video. It covers account creation, the professional confirmation step, the dashboard layout, and the first things to do before building your first session script.
1. Creating your account
Go to therascripts.com and click Get Started for Free. You will be asked for your email address and a password. No credit card is required for the Free tier.
2. Professional confirmation
After signing up, you will see a confirmation screen before accessing the platform. This is a one-time step that requires you to confirm three things:
- That you are a qualified practitioner
- That you have read the platform usage policy
- That you accept responsibility for clinical decisions made using the platform
All three must be acknowledged before you can proceed. This step is logged and forms part of your account attestation record.
3. The dashboard
After completing the confirmation step, you land on the main dashboard. The key areas are:
Build New Script — The primary action button at the top. This launches the script intake wizard where you configure a new session.
Recent Scripts — Your last six scripts, listed with the client reference, date, and a "Planned" badge if the script is linked to a session plan.
Saved Templates — Reusable script templates you have saved from previous sessions. Up to six are shown; click to see all.
Clients — Your client profiles. On Free tier, this shows your clients; on Pro tier, this is where you manage up to 50 client profiles.
Assessment CTA — A card in the dashboard that links to the Client Psychological Profile Survey token system (Pro and Studio plans). From here you can create survey tokens and manage active assessment links.
4. Your first settings step
Before building your first session, open Settings (the gear icon in the top navigation) and go to the General tab. Set your:
- Primary therapeutic approach — the style that will be applied by default to all scripts (Ericksonian, direct, CBT-integrated, NLP-based, mindfulness, solution-focused, The Three Principles, or others)
- Secondary approach — optional, for integrative practitioners
- Audio format and quality — relevant if you plan to use audio export
These settings apply to every new script unless you override them per session. Getting them right upfront saves time.

Common questions
Can I change my professional confirmation later? The initial attestation is permanent. If your circumstances change significantly, contact support.
Can I import existing scripts? Not directly. You can copy your own language into the script editor after generation. There is no bulk import tool.
How do I add workspace members? On Pro plans (up to 5 members) and Studio plans (unlimited), go to Settings → Members to invite colleagues by email.
