SIMPLE Note Example: Resilience After Job Loss

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.

In today’s 45-minute telehealth session, client shared how losing their job has affected their sense of self-worth. They stated, "I feel like I’m failing," expressing feelings of inadequacy and shame after being laid off. Client expressed frustration with the uncertainty of their job search and the pressure to find a new role quickly. Therapist discussed how job loss can trigger a sense of personal failure but emphasized that it doesn’t define their abilities or future potential. Client was encouraged to give themselves time to grieve the loss while also making space for rebuilding their confidence. Therapist explored ways to reframe the experience, focusing on transferable skills and previous successes. Therapist suggested setting small, achievable goals in the job search, such as applying to a certain number of jobs each week. Client appeared reassured by this approach but remained uncertain about how to keep moving forward. Client agreed to create a daily schedule that includes job search tasks and time for self-care. The next session will include checking on how client is managing their job search and emotional recovery.
