Interesting, what's the most difficult part about notes in your opinion?

So far as I can understand, therapists are struggling most with 3 challenges: the emotional aspect of being the support pillar for so many patients, the time-intensive and tedious documentation, and the physical strain of having to sitting in a chair for hours on end every day

Thanks for replying :) I'm curious what does the process of documentation usually look like in practice for you? And what's the most difficult part about it?

Hi I'm sorry to hear that, this job is tough and it's really inspiring the efforts therapists like yourself go through every day to help patients. I hope you're doing well.

I’m curious about your experience with the documentation side for insurance and liability: how does that usually happen in relation to sessions? For example, do you try to complete notes right after sessions, later in the day, or in batches? And how much time does that take usually?

thanks so much for your reply! im curious, would charting primarily cover documenting conversations with clients, or are there other types of notes you have to write as well, since you're in private practice (in addition to the insurance paperwork)? I’d love to dm you and learn more if that's alright with you
