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

Generated DAP Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided.

Data:
During today's 45-minute session, client discussed feelings of low self-esteem, particularly in the context of his work environment. Client reported frequently comparing himself to others and doubting his abilities, stating he feels "not good enough" and expressing a belief that he'll "never measure up to my colleagues." Interventions focused on addressing the impact of negative self-talk, and methods for cultivating self-esteem were explored.

Assessment:
Client demonstrates signs of diminished self-esteem, which affects his performance and satisfaction at work. Client's self-reported feelings and beliefs align with features of negative self-appraisal, and his initial skepticism toward interventions suggests ambivalence about the likelihood of change.

Plan:
Client's homework for the next two weeks includes writing down three positive affirmations about himself daily as a step toward enhancing his self-esteem. The therapist scheduled a follow-up session in two weeks to review client's adherence to the homework assignment and progress made.
