Write a therapy note
Write a therapy group session note from your clinical protocols.
Describe the session activity, group structure, and notable moments, and Anara references your uploaded treatment protocols to produce a formal third-person clinical note in your program's format. Use it after every group session to keep notes consistent and fast.
Prompt
A therapist at a substance use treatment program, with her curriculum and note guidelines in her library, writes up a Week 4 group.
Prompt
Write a group therapy session note for the following session. Reference my uploaded group curriculum and note format guidelines for the correct structure and clinical language.
Session details:
Program: Substance Use Recovery Group, Week 4
Activity: "Hot Potato" with therapeutic questions. A ball was passed while music played. When the music stopped, the person holding the ball answered one of three rotating questions: (1) What is your substance of choice? (2) What is the most difficult consequence of your use? (3) What is one thing you are doing differently this week?
Group size: 8 participants
Notable moments: One participant disclosed for the first time. Two others provided peer support. One participant passed the question, which was accepted without pressure.
Format the note in third-person clinical language. Include the therapeutic rationale for the activity grounded in the program framework in my library.What to add to your library
- Required: your treatment protocols, group curriculum, or note format guidelines.
- Optional: a completed note from a prior session, so Anara matches your structure and phrasing.
- Optional: your program's therapeutic model (CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, 12-step facilitation), used to frame the rationale.
What you get
- A formal third-person note covering activity, structure, engagement, notable moments, and therapeutic rationale.
- Formatting matched to the standards in your uploaded protocol documents.
- A rationale drawn from your program framework rather than generic clinical language.
Follow-ups
Add an individual progress note.
Prompt
Write an individual progress note for the participant who disclosed for the first time in today's session. Note the disclosure in clinical terms, the group's response, and the clinical significance given the participant's treatment goals. Keep it to three sentences, third-person, formal.Draft next week's note template in advance.
Prompt
Next week's session will use the "Anonymous Fear Sharing" activity from Week 5 of the curriculum. Draft a note template for that session with the activity description and therapeutic rationale already filled in, leaving the participation and notable moments sections blank for me to complete after the session.Tips
- Describe the session in plain language. Anara converts it into clinical language.
- Name your protocol document and note structure (SOAP, DAP, or custom) to avoid a generic format.
- The rationale follows the protocol, not necessarily what happened. Adjust it to match the session in practice.
- If notes need supervisor review, save the draft as a note in Anara and share it before filing.
