SOAP Note Example

Dating and Work Confidence

Client is navigating dating later in life while also struggling with confidence in work meetings.

Generated SOAP 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.

Subjective:
Client expressed feelings of insecurity in both their dating life and work environment, stating 'I feel like I’m too old to be getting back into dating, and it’s embarrassing'. They reported self-doubt when engaging in dating after a long hiatus and nervousness in work meetings due to fear of misspeaking.

Objective:
The 45-minute in-office session focused on addressing the client's insecurities. The therapist observed the client's unsure demeanor. Interventions included discussing age-related concerns in dating, emphasizing the importance of personal criteria for relationships, and strategizing for increased participation in work meetings.

Assessment:
Client is experiencing increased insecurity in social and professional contexts. They responded to interventions with a slight ease in demeanor by the session's end. Progress will be monitored in subsequent sessions.

Plan:
Client was assigned to practice speaking up at least once in a work meeting and to journal their dating experiences, focusing on post-date feelings. The therapist and client will review these experiences in the next session to assess progress and adjust interventions as necessary.

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.
