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.

Today’s 60-minute session took place at the therapist's office and focused on the stress the client is experiencing while managing their children’s education during ongoing school closures. They said, "I feel like I’m juggling too much at once," expressing frustration with trying to balance their own work while ensuring their kids keep up with virtual learning. The client shared how difficult it has been to stay organized and focused with constant distractions. We explored how the added pressure of homeschooling or overseeing online schooling can create emotional burnout for parents.

We discussed strategies for setting realistic expectations, creating a structured daily routine, and allowing time for self-care. I suggested they set aside dedicated time for work and school activities while also scheduling moments to recharge. The client was hesitant but agreed to try making more time for themselves during the week. Their homework is to create a daily schedule for their family that includes breaks and self-care moments. We’ll check in next week to evaluate how it’s going.
