Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.
Behavior:
Client presented with visible frustration, expressing feelings of isolation and lack of motivation due to transition to remote work. Client stated, "I just can’t focus at home, and I feel so cut off from everyone." Discussed difficulties in maintaining a work-life balance without the structure of an office environment, leading to feelings of being overwhelmed.
Intervention:
Conducted a 60-minute session at the office. Discussed challenges associated with remote work and the importance of establishing a new routine. Therapist suggested setting small goals, adhering to a structured schedule with breaks, and incorporating social interactions. Advised client to create a designated workspace at home.
Response:
Client acknowledged the struggle with remote work and appeared open to implementing the suggested strategies. They agreed to attempt creating a new work routine, including a schedule with defined work hours and breaks, and to make efforts to connect socially during the day.
Plan:
Assigned homework to client to establish a new work routine and to integrate the discussed strategies over the coming week. Plan to follow up in the next session to assess the effectiveness of these changes and make necessary adjustments.
We had a 60-minute session today at the office. Client came in looking pretty frustrated, saying that ever since they transitioned to remote work, they’ve been feeling totally isolated and unmotivated. They said quote 'I just can’t focus at home, and I feel so cut off from everyone' unquote. They talked about how much they miss the routine of going into the office, seeing coworkers, and having that separation between work and home. They also mentioned that without that structure, they’re finding it hard to stay on track and are feeling overwhelmed by the workload because it feels like there’s no real beginning or end to the workday anymore.
We talked about how a lot of people are struggling with the shift to remote work and that it’s important to create a new routine that works for them. I suggested they set small, manageable goals throughout the day and try to stick to a schedule that includes breaks and, you know, some form of social interaction, even if it’s just a quick phone call with a friend or a colleague. We also talked about creating a designated workspace at home, just to help them mentally separate work from relaxation. Their homework is to try building a new work routine this week—setting up a work schedule with start and stop times, adding in breaks, and making sure they’re taking time to connect with people during the day.
They seemed willing to give it a shot, though they were still a bit skeptical. We’ll follow up next week to see how it’s going and if we need to tweak anything.
