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 40-minute session, client discussed his fear of social situations, particularly at work events. He said, "I feel like everyone is judging me." We introduced cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge his negative thoughts and used role-playing to practice social interactions. Client’s homework is to attend a social event and note his feelings and thoughts before, during, and after. He seemed a bit anxious but willing to try this approach.
