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.

In today’s 45-minute session, client talked about his recent struggles with low self-esteem. He mentioned feeling inadequate at work and comparing himself to others. Ummm, client said he often doubts his abilities and feels like he’s, quote, "not good enough," unquote. He said, "I feel like I’ll never measure up to my colleagues." We discussed the impact of negative self-talk and introduced some techniques for building self-esteem. Client’s homework is to write down three positive things about himself each day. He seemed a bit skeptical but agreed to give it a try. We’ll meet again in two weeks to discuss his progress.
