Your brain goes blank in these moments. It just does. You’re sitting across from a client who just told you they used, or you’re staring at a positive test result, or a PO is on the phone telling you your client needs consequences — and you can’t think of the right words. This tool gives you those words. It’s not a script you read verbatim — it’s a starting point you adapt to your style and your client. The language is designed to keep the clinical conversation first and the court conversation second, which is harder than it sounds when the system is built to do it the other way around. Print it, keep it in your session folder, and stop trying to improvise the hardest conversations in your week.
