BIRP Note Example

Low Self-Esteem Struggles

Client struggles with low self-esteem and is working on building positive self-talk.

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 discussed his recent struggles with low self-esteem, particularly feeling inadequate at work and comparing himself to others. Client reported frequently doubting his abilities and feeling 'not good enough.' Additionally, he expressed a concern that he 'feels like I’ll never measure up to my colleagues.'

Intervention:
During the 45-minute session, the therapist discussed the impact of negative self-talk with the client and introduced techniques for building self-esteem.

Response:
Client seemed skeptical about the techniques but agreed to attempt the homework of writing down three positive things about himself each day.

Plan:
The client is to continue with the assigned homework daily. The next session is scheduled in two weeks to review the client's progress with the intervention.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

In today’s 45-minute session, client talked about his recent struggles with low self-esteem. He mentioned feeling inadequate at work and comparing himself to others. Ummm, client said he often doubts his abilities and feels like he’s, quote, "not good enough," unquote. He said, "I feel like I’ll never measure up to my colleagues." We discussed the impact of negative self-talk and introduced some techniques for building self-esteem. Client’s homework is to write down three positive things about himself each day. He seemed a bit skeptical but agreed to give it a try. We’ll meet again in two weeks to discuss his progress.
