But trust me, these templates are going to blow your mind. And hey, who doesn’t love a good template, am I right? So let’s dive right in. First up, we’ve got this little gem right here:
Template #1 - The “I’m Totally Not Crazy, I Swear” Note
Okay, so maybe you’re a little bit crazy. But that’s totally fine - we all are! This progress note template is perfect for those times when you want to let your therapist know that you’ve got everything under control. Just fill in the blanks with all the reasons why you’re totally not crazy (even though you kind of are), and voila! Your therapist will be totally fooled.
Next up, we’ve got this beauty: Template #2 - The “I Promise I’ll Take My Meds This Time” Note
We’ve all been there - you promise your therapist that you’ll take your meds every day, but then life gets in the way and before you know it, you haven’t taken them in three days. This progress note template is the perfect way to make up for lost time. Just write down the date, check off the box for “medication compliance” (even if it’s a little bit of a stretch), and pat yourself on the back for being such a responsible adult.
Moving right along, we’ve got: Template #3 - The “I’m Actually Doing Pretty Well, Thanks for Asking” Note
It’s easy to get caught up in all the negative stuff when you’re going to therapy - after all, that’s what you’re there for, right? But sometimes it’s good to remind yourself (and your therapist) that you’re actually doing pretty well. This progress note template is perfect for those times when you want to focus on the positive. Just jot down a few things that you’ve been doing well lately, and before you know it, you’ll be feeling like a superstar.
And last but not least, we’ve got: Template #4 - The “I Still Haven’t Hit That Breakthrough, But I’m Working On It” Note
Let’s be real - therapy isn’t always rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes it feels like you’re just going through the motions, week after week, without ever really making any progress. But that’s okay! This progress note template is perfect for acknowledging that you’re still working on things, even if you haven’t had that big “breakthrough” yet. Just write down a few things that you’re struggling with, and then remind yourself that progress takes time.
So there you have it, folks - four hilarious progress note templates that are sure to make your therapist smile (or at least chuckle a little bit).
