This worksheet, “Rewriting Your Script,” guides individuals through the process of transforming negative beliefs and self-perceptions into positive, empowering affirmations. The metaphor of an “old script” emphasizes how past experiences, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs can dictate one’s thoughts, actions, and behaviors. By tearing up the old script and writing a new one, individuals can break free from the constraints of past mistakes, toxic relationships, or inaccurate self-judgments.
Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this printable PDF worksheet gives clinicians a practical, session-ready tool. The conversational, encouraging tone makes clinical concepts accessible to clients at any stage of recovery, while structured prompts keep the work focused and productive.
How clinicians use it: as an in-session exercise to open and structure discussion, as between-session homework to reinforce skills, as a progress tool to track growth over time, and as part of a treatment unit paired with the companion lesson and PowerPoint on this topic. Formatted for easy printing and immediate use in individual or group settings.
