The 50-minute session focused on the client's intense fear of failure, which they reported is preventing them from pursuing career opportunities. Client stated, "I’m afraid of trying something new and failing," and described feeling paralyzed when faced with professional decisions. This fear has led to procrastination and missed opportunities, leaving the client feeling stuck in their current position. The therapist explored the connection between fear of failure and perfectionism, and reframed failure as a natural part of growth. The therapist suggested setting small, achievable goals to build confidence and gradually expand the client's comfort zone. Client appeared receptive to this approach and agreed to take on one small challenge at work. Homework assigned: identify one low-risk career goal to work toward this week and report back in the next session.

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.
In today’s 50-minute session, the client discussed their intense fear of failure, which is holding them back from pursuing career opportunities. They said, "I’m afraid of trying something new and failing," explaining how they often feel paralyzed when faced with taking the next step in their professional life. The client described how this fear has led to procrastination and missed opportunities, causing them to feel stuck in their current position. We explored how fear of failure often stems from perfectionism and how it can be reframed as a natural part of growth.
I suggested that they start by setting small, achievable goals to build their confidence and gradually push past their comfort zone. We also discussed the importance of reframing setbacks as learning experiences rather than evidence of failure. Client seemed receptive to this idea and agreed to take on one small challenge at work. Their homework is to identify one low-risk career goal to work toward this week and report back next session.
