Generated SIMPLE 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.

Today's 50-minute session focused on the stress the client is experiencing after a recent job change. Client stated, "It feels like I'm in over my head," describing anxiety about meeting new expectations and figuring out their place in the company. Client expressed frustration about the pressure to perform well in a new position, especially when feeling uncertain about their fit with the team. The therapist explored how job transitions can trigger imposter syndrome, where individuals doubt their skills and abilities despite being hired for the role. Strategies discussed included taking things one step at a time, seeking feedback from supervisors to build confidence, and breaking tasks into smaller chunks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Client seemed hesitant but agreed these strategies could be helpful. Setting boundaries and avoiding taking on too much too quickly was also discussed. Homework assigned: identify one area of work to apply these strategies and report back in the next session.

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 stress the client is experiencing after a recent job change. They said, "It feels like I'm in over my head," describing the anxiety they feel about meeting new expectations and figuring out their place in the company. We talked about how job transitions can trigger imposter syndrome, where they doubt their skills and abilities despite being hired for the role. The client expressed frustration about the pressure to perform well in a new position, especially when they feel uncertain about their fit with the team.

We discussed strategies to manage these feelings, including taking things one step at a time and seeking feedback from supervisors to build confidence. I suggested that they break tasks down into smaller chunks to avoid feeling overwhelmed and ensure they are meeting expectations without overburdening themselves. Client seemed hesitant but agreed that it could be helpful. We also discussed setting boundaries and not taking on too much too quickly. Their homework is to identify one area of their work where they can start applying these strategies and report back in our next session.
