Managing Panic Attacks

Client experiences frequent panic attacks and is learning management techniques.

Generated DAP 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.

Data:
Client had a 30-minute virtual session. She discussed her recent panic attacks, their impact on her work and personal life, and specific symptoms including a sense of impending doom and difficulty breathing. Direct quote from client: "It feels like I’m going to die every time it happens." The therapist and client explored potential triggers and interventions, with a focus on deep breathing and grounding exercises.

Assessment:
Client appears to be struggling with significant anxiety manifested in the form of panic attacks. Despite this, she is receptive to treatment and motivated to apply learned techniques to manage her symptoms.

Plan:
Client's homework is to practice deep breathing exercises twice a day. The next session is scheduled for two weeks from today in the same virtual format.
