Subjective:
Client discussed feeling pressured to act more outgoing despite identifying as introverted. They stated, "I feel like I’m constantly supposed to be socializing, and it drains me." Client explained that pushing themselves out of their comfort zone often leaves them feeling exhausted and expressed frustration with not fitting the social mold celebrated in work, social media, and family dynamics.
Objective:
50-minute telehealth session. Client appeared reflective and engaged. Discussed societal preference for extroverted traits and its impact on the client’s self-perception. Therapist provided psychoeducation on introversion as a natural personality trait with strengths.
Assessment:
Client is making progress in recognizing the impact of societal expectations on their well-being. They appeared somewhat relieved by the reframing of introversion as a strength but continue to struggle with managing social expectations. Client was receptive to suggested strategies for honoring their needs and setting boundaries.
Plan:
Client agreed to acknowledge their need for downtime and set gentle boundaries with family or coworkers when overwhelmed. They will work on reframing social obligations and finding a balance that feels right. Therapist and client will check in during the next session to evaluate progress and adjust strategies as needed.
In today’s 50-minute telehealth session, the client discussed how they’ve been feeling pressured to act more outgoing, even though they identify as introverted. They said, "I feel like I’m constantly supposed to be socializing, and it drains me," explaining how they’ve tried to push themselves out of their comfort zone but it often leaves them feeling exhausted. The client expressed frustration with not fitting the social mold that seems to be celebrated everywhere—at work, in social media, and even in family dynamics.
We explored how society tends to favor extroverted traits like being outspoken and constantly engaged, and how that can make introverts feel like they’re falling short. I reassured them that being introverted is not a flaw, but rather a natural personality trait that comes with its own strengths, like being more reflective and thoughtful. The client seemed a bit relieved by this perspective but still struggled with how to deal with social expectations.
I suggested they start by acknowledging and honoring their need for downtime, making space for quiet activities that recharge them. We also discussed how they might set gentle boundaries with family or coworkers when they’re feeling overwhelmed by too many social commitments. Client agreed to try reframing their social obligations and focus on finding a balance that feels right. We’ll check in next session to see how they’re feeling after taking these steps.
