Comment on How To Write Counseling Notes by Terrilynn

Hello, thank you for posting this blog. I am first year grad. During my internship, I had experience terrible anxieties for completing DAP notes. I finally made it through the skin on my back. However, I too become confused as to what exactly goes where and and how much! Nevertheless, I am very happy to have found your website. I wrote everything about all of the different types of notes and its definitions. For me, this is a blessing because, I fully comprehend exactly what I need to do a new employee in writing an effective note that will be clear and readable and keep me working in the public. Oh, in addition, thanks for reminding (most probably have forgotten) us about the notes can be subjective to court review. Thanks so much. Terrilynn

Thank you for such an informative site, it was a great refresher site for writing progress notes. Each agency handles things a little differently. I was use to SOAP and the new agency wanted DAP. They actually want a D: (information) A: (information) and then a section labled P: (information). I have had my license for a year, but have only worked at one location – the one where I completed my internship. We did not have to indicate or label each section. Is this a common practice or an exception?

Hi, I recently finished grad school in counseling… I’m trying to find a symptom checklist like the one you mentioned, so I can better organize my notes during the day. Would you mind posting the one you use? Or letting me know where else to look?

Thanks!
Nikki

When a tree is young it can be bent into shape.
However, older trees cannot be bent but broken.

Bob,
Some would say the opposite of OCD is ADHD: can’t focus on anything and nothing gets finished.

Rick,
Your wife’s a funny lady!

My wife says that if you have an OCD, you can’t leave it at that. It needs to be CDO. (alphabetical order)

Is there an opposite of obsessive-compulsive disorder? If so, I think I have it.
