Start and stop time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Subjective:
The patient presented today reporting increased anxiety and difficulty managing their eating disorder symptoms over the past week. They reported feeling overwhelmed by food-related thoughts and urges to engage in restrictive behaviours. The patient stated they had been struggling with body image concerns and feelings of inadequacy. They achieved some success in adhering to their meal plan on three days this week, but struggled with emotional eating on the other days. The patient reported that the session specifically targeted identifying triggers for emotional eating and developing coping strategies.
Origin of reported symptoms:
The patient reported that the onset of their eating disorder symptoms began approximately two years ago, following a period of significant stress and changes in their life. They stated that the symptoms initially started as a way to cope with feelings of anxiety and low self-esteem.
Interventions used:
Affective interventions:
The therapist explored the patient's feelings of anxiety and sadness related to their eating disorder symptoms. The therapist used reflective listening to validate the patient's emotions and help them feel understood.
Cognitive interventions:
The therapist utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge the patient's negative thoughts and beliefs about food and body image. The therapist helped the patient identify cognitive distortions and reframe them with more balanced and realistic thoughts.
Mind-body interventions:
The therapist guided the patient through a brief mindfulness exercise to help them become more aware of their body sensations and reduce feelings of anxiety.
Motivational and values-based interventions:
The therapist explored the patient's values and goals to help them connect with their intrinsic motivation for recovery. The therapist helped the patient identify how recovery aligns with their values and aspirations.
Objective:
Appearance: The patient appeared well-groomed and appropriately dressed. Speech patterns: Normal in rhythm and rate. Stated or observed mood: The patient reported feeling anxious and sad. Judgment: Within normal limits. Insight level: The patient demonstrated a good level of insight into their eating disorder symptoms and their impact on their life. Cognition: Within normal limits.
Overall assessment:
The patient responded well to the interventions, demonstrating increased awareness of their triggers and developing coping strategies. The patient was able to identify cognitive distortions and reframe them with more balanced and realistic thoughts. The patient was engaged in the session and actively participated in the interventions.
Homework from previous session addressed:
The patient reported completing the homework assignment from the previous session, which involved tracking their food intake and identifying triggers for emotional eating.
Homework assigned this session:
The patient was assigned homework to practice the cognitive restructuring techniques learned in the session and to continue tracking their food intake and emotional eating triggers.
Plan for next session:
The plan for the next session is to continue working on cognitive restructuring techniques and to explore the patient's values and goals in more detail.
Risk assessment:
The patient denied any current suicidal ideation or plans. The patient reported that they have a supportive social network and access to resources.
Medical necessity:
The longer session was appropriate for the utilized interventions, as it allowed for a more in-depth exploration of the patient's symptoms, the use of multiple therapeutic techniques, and the development of a comprehensive treatment plan. The extended time also allowed for a thorough risk assessment and the assignment of relevant homework.
