What are Rose, Bud, Thorn & Discussion Decks?

Your clients might bring up Rose, Bud, Thorn or Discussion Decks.... so what are they anyway?


✨ THESE ✨

Rose, Bud, Thorn:

  • This is an activity that your clients have access to and are encouraged to complete weekly. This is a reflection exercise where your couples are invited to write out and reflect on their week. It's a great framework for discussion on what's going well, what roadblocks exist, and goal setting.
  • This can be used in therapy by asking your clients if they completed their RBT for the week, and if they had any insights they want to go over or to add to their therapeutic goals.

Discussion Decks:

  • These are discussion prompts your couples can use to have conversations on various topics (the holidays, family planning, about us, etc.)
  • It's meant to create opportunities to forge deeper connections and meaningful conversations. It also can help uncover areas where your couples may want to bring you in to help process through barriers.

We always welcome feedback, creative ideas for future decks, and insights! Please reach out and let us know if you have anything you'd like to share with the OURS team. Also, feel free to utilize these tools as "homework" or in whatever way you see fit. ❤️
