Free Therapeutic Resources for Therapists

Therapist Scripts and Resources

These bundles were built because good therapy sometimes needs a bridge.

There are moments in the room — or on screen — when words alone cannot reach the part of the client that needs to shift. When talking about something keeps it at a safe intellectual distance. When the nervous system is protecting itself from direct confrontation.

That is where these resources come in.

What's in each bundle

Each bundle contains Six clinically crafted documents, designed to work independently or together across a single session, a sequence of sessions, or an extended piece of work.

A portable metaphor

A short, self-contained metaphor for use in talking therapies or as an addition to clinical hypnosis. It can be read aloud in session, given as a handout for the client to take away, used as homework between sessions, or woven into trance work. The metaphor works because it bypasses the need to tell the client what to think. It plants a seed. The client's own subconscious does the interpreting, reaching conclusions in their own time and in their own way. This is the difference between telling someone what their experience means and offering them a lens through which they might see it differently.

A mythical journey

A longer, more immersive narrative structure. Where the metaphor offers a single image or idea, the mythical journey takes the client on a symbolic arc — through difficulty, transformation, and return. It works at a deeper level because myth speaks a language the subconscious already understands. It can be used as an extended talking therapy piece, as a hypnotic induction and journey, or as a reflective reading the client returns to between sessions. The therapeutic value lies in what the client projects onto the story — their fears, their resources, their sense of what is possible — without ever being directed towards a conclusion.

A trauma-informed script

Written with the nervous system in mind. Every word choice, every pause, every piece of language has been constructed to keep the client feeling safe, in control, and resourced. This script keeps client choice at the centre — there is no pressure, no pushing, no assumption that the client is ready for something they have not yet chosen. It works because it follows the client's own window of tolerance rather than asking them to override it. For practitioners working with trauma, complex presentations, or clients who struggle to feel safe, this is where to start.

A clinical hypnosis script

A more direct, focused piece of therapeutic hypnosis for deeper or more targeted work. Built for use with clients who are established in the work and ready for something more direct. This sits at the other end of the therapeutic spectrum from the metaphor — less ambiguous, more deliberately suggestive, more outcome-focused. Together, these two pieces give you the full range from gentle and open-ended to clear and directive.

A user agreement and practitioner bundle guide

This is not an afterthought. The bundle includes a licence agreement that sets out clearly how these materials may be used within your practice, in line with UK copyright law. Alongside it is a detailed practitioner guide that explains how to use each piece — tactically, as a single intervention within one session; strategically, as part of a planned sequence across multiple sessions; or as an extended metaphor woven through an entire piece of work. The guide also explains how the different elements can be blended together so that the metaphor, the journey, the trauma-informed approach and the clinical script are not isolated tools but a coherent therapeutic language you can move between as your client needs.

Why this works

The most powerful thing about this kind of material is what it does not do.

It does not tell the client what their experience means. It does not instruct them towards a particular conclusion. It does not bypass their agency or their defences.

Instead, it offers imagery, story, and symbol — and lets the client's own subconscious mind do the work. The kernel of every piece in this bundle is a seed. What grows from it belongs entirely to the client.

This is why metaphor and mythic journey often achieve what direct conversation cannot. They work implicitly. They are a bridge between what can be said and what needs to be felt.

Built by a practitioner, for practitioners

These resources were created by Joanne Harrison — Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist with eighteen years of NHS clinical experience. They are trauma-informed, clinically grounded, and built to fit into real practice — not an ideal one.

Each bundle gives you multiple therapeutic modalities in one purchase: talking therapy tools, trance scripts, homework pieces, and a framework for using them together. Whether you work primarily in talking therapies, clinical hypnosis, or a blend of both, there is material here you can use from your very next session.
