PIRP Note Example

Self-Esteem After Divorce

Client is working on rebuilding self-esteem after a difficult divorce.

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 expressed that their self-esteem has significantly declined following their divorce, stating, "I feel like I failed in every way." They shared that the end of their marriage has led them to question their worth and abilities. Client also reported feeling disconnected from their sense of self, noting that they had spent many years prioritizing their relationship over personal needs and goals.

Intervention:
The session lasted 60 minutes and took place at the therapy office. The therapist explored the emotional impact of divorce with the client and discussed how it does not define their identity. Interventions included helping the client identify strengths and qualities outside of their marriage, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion, and encouraging self-forgiveness for perceived shortcomings in the relationship.

Response:
Client appeared emotional during the session but was receptive to the interventions. They expressed openness to the idea of rebuilding their confidence and starting a new chapter in their life. Client agreed to begin a gratitude journal as a step toward fostering self-appreciation.

Plan:
Client will maintain a gratitude journal, recording three things they appreciate about themselves each day. The therapist and client will review progress with this practice in the next session. Continued focus on rediscovering identity and rebuilding self-esteem post-divorce is anticipated in future sessions.

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.

We had a 60-minute session today at the therapy office, and the client shared how their self-esteem took a significant hit after their divorce. They said, "I feel like I failed in every way," expressing how the end of their marriage made them question their worth and their abilities. We talked about how divorce can be an emotional blow, but it doesn’t define who they are as a person. Client discussed feeling disconnected from their sense of self, having spent many years prioritizing their relationship over their personal needs and goals. We explored ways to rediscover their identity and rebuild their confidence post-divorce.

I suggested that they start by identifying their strengths and qualities outside of the context of their marriage. We also discussed the importance of self-compassion and the need to forgive themselves for any perceived shortcomings in their relationship. Client seemed a bit emotional but was open to the idea of building a new chapter in their life. They agreed to keep a gratitude journal for the week, writing down three things they appreciate about themselves each day. We’ll check back next session to see how they are progressing with this practice.
