Generated BIRP Note:

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 attended a 50-minute session to discuss the recent loss of her father. Client expressed deep sadness and difficulty accepting the reality. Client stated, "I miss him so much."

Intervention:
The therapist used EMDR to help the client process grief and explore memories associated with her father.

Response:
Client appeared comforted by the EMDR process and was engaged in discussing her memories.

Plan:
Client's homework is to create a memory box with items that remind her of her father. The next session is scheduled for two weeks from today, with a continuation of the current treatment plan.

Client Session Summary:
