Data:
Session duration was 50 minutes, conducted via telehealth. Client presented with frustration and exhaustion related to feeling pressured to act more outgoing despite identifying as introverted. Client stated, "I feel like I’m constantly supposed to be socializing, and it drains me." They reported trying to push themselves out of their comfort zone but feeling exhausted as a result. Client discussed societal and familial expectations favoring extroverted traits, which they feel they do not fit. Therapist reassured client that introversion is a natural personality trait with strengths, such as being reflective and thoughtful. Client appeared somewhat relieved but continued to express difficulty navigating social expectations.
Assessment:
Client is making progress in recognizing the impact of societal and familial expectations on their well-being. They responded positively to reframing introversion as a strength but continue to struggle with balancing social obligations and personal needs. Client demonstrated willingness to explore strategies for managing these challenges.
Plan:
Client agreed to acknowledge and honor their need for downtime and to set gentle boundaries with family and coworkers when overwhelmed by social commitments. They will work on reframing their social obligations to find a balance that feels manageable. Therapist and client will revisit these strategies in the next session to assess their effectiveness and adjust as needed. Continuation of the treatment plan will focus on supporting the client in navigating social expectations while prioritizing their well-being.
In today’s 50-minute telehealth session, the client discussed how they’ve been feeling pressured to act more outgoing, even though they identify as introverted. They said, "I feel like I’m constantly supposed to be socializing, and it drains me," explaining how they’ve tried to push themselves out of their comfort zone but it often leaves them feeling exhausted. The client expressed frustration with not fitting the social mold that seems to be celebrated everywhere—at work, in social media, and even in family dynamics.
We explored how society tends to favor extroverted traits like being outspoken and constantly engaged, and how that can make introverts feel like they’re falling short. I reassured them that being introverted is not a flaw, but rather a natural personality trait that comes with its own strengths, like being more reflective and thoughtful. The client seemed a bit relieved by this perspective but still struggled with how to deal with social expectations.
I suggested they start by acknowledging and honoring their need for downtime, making space for quiet activities that recharge them. We also discussed how they might set gentle boundaries with family or coworkers when they’re feeling overwhelmed by too many social commitments. Client agreed to try reframing their social obligations and focus on finding a balance that feels right. We’ll check in next session to see how they’re feeling after taking these steps.
