BIRP Note Example

Workplace Conflict

Client faces ongoing conflict with a coworker and seeks communication strategies.

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 ongoing conflict with a coworker, expressing feelings of being undermined and disrespected. Client reported frustration and anger, stating it affects job satisfaction. Client stated, "I can’t stand the thought of going to work and dealing with this every day."

Intervention:
During the 50-minute session, strategies for assertive communication and conflict resolution were discussed. The therapist provided guidance on using "I" statements to address the conflict.

Response:
Client appeared anxious but was willing to try the assertive communication approach. Client agreed to the homework of preparing for the conversation with the coworker by writing down his thoughts.

Plan:
Client's homework is to write down what he wishes to communicate using "I" statements. The therapist and client will follow up on this in the next session scheduled for next week.

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 50-minute session, client talked about his ongoing conflict with a coworker. He mentioned feeling constantly undermined and disrespected by this person. Ummm, client expressed frustration and anger, and said it’s impacting his job satisfaction. He said, "I can’t stand the thought of going to work and dealing with this every day." We discussed strategies for assertive communication and conflict resolution. Client’s goal is to address the issue directly with his coworker using “I” statements. His homework is to prepare for this conversation by writing down what he wants to say. He seemed a bit anxious but willing to try this approach. We’ll follow up in our next session next week.
