PIRP Note Example

Adjusting to Parenthood for New Moms

Client is navigating the challenges of new motherhood and managing self-care.

Generated PIRP 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.

Problem:
Client discussed the overwhelming demands of new motherhood and described difficulty balancing care for their newborn with their own emotional and physical needs. Client stated, "I feel like I'm always giving and never receiving," and expressed feeling drained after each day. Client also reported guilt about taking time for themselves, worrying it might make them a bad mother.

Intervention:
The session lasted 50 minutes. Therapist explored the importance of self-care and reframed it as essential for long-term caregiving. Therapist suggested starting small with self-care practices, such as taking 10 minutes daily for an activity that brings joy or relaxation, and discussed the possibility of seeking help from family or friends to allow for personal time.

Response:
Client appeared relieved to have a plan and was open to the idea of taking small steps toward incorporating self-care. Client engaged in the discussion and seemed receptive to the reframing of self-care as a necessary part of caregiving.

Plan:
Client was assigned homework to begin a daily 10-minute self-care practice, such as reading a book or taking a relaxing bath. The next session is scheduled for next week to evaluate how the client is adjusting to these changes. Treatment will continue to focus on supporting the client in managing the demands of new motherhood and addressing associated emotions.

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 50-minute session focused on the overwhelming demands of new motherhood. The client shared how difficult it’s been to balance caring for their newborn with their own emotional and physical needs. They said, "I feel like I'm always giving and never receiving," describing how drained they feel after each day of constant care and attention to their baby. We discussed the importance of self-care and how it’s easy to neglect one’s own needs when caring for a child. Client expressed guilt about taking time for themselves, worrying that it would make them a bad mother.

We worked through the idea that caring for themselves is actually vital to being able to care for their child in the long run. I suggested starting small with self-care, such as taking 10 minutes each day to engage in something that brings them joy or relaxation. We also explored the possibility of asking for help from family or friends to allow for some time alone. Client seemed relieved to have a plan and was open to the idea of taking small steps towards incorporating self-care. Their homework is to start with a daily 10-minute practice, such as reading a book or taking a relaxing bath. We’ll follow up next week to evaluate how they’re adjusting.
