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.

During today’s 60-minute session at the office, client discussed his recent breakup. He expressed feelings of sadness and anger, and he mentioned feeling betrayed by his partner. Ummm, he said he’s been isolating himself from friends and family and has been drinking more than usual. He said, "I feel so lost without her and don’t know how to move on." We talked about healthy coping strategies and the importance of reaching out for support. Client agreed to limit his alcohol intake and reach out to a close friend for support. His homework is to write a letter to his ex, not to send, but to process his feelings. Client appeared open to the suggestions and willing to try them. We’ll meet again next week.
