SIMPLE Note Example: Dating and Work Confidence

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.

Today's in-office session lasted 45 minutes. The client presented with a sense of uncertainty and reported feeling insecure in their dating life and at work, stating "I feel like I’m too old to be getting back into dating, and it’s embarrassing." The client has begun dating after a hiatus, which has led to significant self-doubt. Similarly, they experience nervousness during work meetings, fearing they may speak incorrectly. The therapist provided reassurance regarding the client's concerns about age and dating, emphasizing that there is no set timeline for such personal endeavors. The client was encouraged to focus on personal goals in relationships and to prepare key points for work meetings to increase confidence. The client was assigned homework to make at least one comment in an upcoming meeting and to journal their dating experiences, noting their feelings post-date. The client appeared somewhat relieved by the end of the session. Progress will be reviewed in the next session scheduled for the following week.

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 session was 45 minutes, in-office. Client came in looking a bit unsure and said they’ve been feeling really insecure lately, both in dating and at work. They said quote 'I feel like I’m too old to be getting back into dating, and it’s embarrassing' unquote. They’ve recently started dating again after a long break, and it’s been bringing up a lot of self-doubt. At the same time, they mentioned they’ve been feeling really nervous in work meetings, like they’re not speaking up enough because they’re worried they’ll say something wrong.

We spent some time unpacking these feelings of insecurity. I reminded them that age is just a number, and there’s no 'right' time to start dating again. We talked about focusing on what they’re looking for in a relationship, rather than worrying about what others might think. As for work, I suggested they start preparing a few key points before meetings to help boost their confidence. Their homework is to practice speaking up in a meeting this week, even if it’s just one comment, and to keep a journal about their dating experiences, focusing on how they feel after each date. They seemed a little more at ease by the end. We’ll check back in next week to see how they’re feeling.
