Dr. Keener, we wanted to update you on a recent development in Sally's life. Don and I have decided to move forward with a divorce. While this is a big change for all of us, we wanted to assure you that both of us are fully committed to supporting Sally’s emotional well-being during this transition. We're prioritizing open communication and a smooth adjustment for Sally. We value your guidance and expertise, and if you notice any significant changes in Sally’s emotions or behaviors in therapy, please don't hesitate to bring them to our attention. We believe open communication between all of us is crucial in supporting Sally through this time.
Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
