Treatment Plan Draft
For clinician review and adaptation to the client’s presentation, workplace context, preferences, and level of functioning. This plan does not establish a diagnosis or determine risk.
Broad Aim
> “I want work to feel less overwhelming.”
SMART Goal
Over the next 4 weeks, the client will increase use of brief restorative strategies during the workday by taking a planned short lunch break on at least 2 workdays per week, as permitted by workplace expectations, and rating perceived work-related overwhelm before and after the break. The client will review the observations with the clinician to identify barriers, facilitators, and next steps.
Suggested Outcome Measure
- Before and after each planned break, rate work-related overwhelm on a 0–10 scale:
- 0 = not overwhelming
- 10 = extremely overwhelming
- Review weekly patterns in:
- Whether the break occurred
- Duration of break
- Pre-/post-break overwhelm ratings
- Factors that made the break easier or harder
Short-Term Objectives
1. Planning
- Within 1 week, the client will identify at least 2 feasible workdays and approximate times for taking a short lunch break, consistent with workplace policies and responsibilities.
2. Initial Practice
- During the next workweek, the client will take a short lunch break on at least 2 workdays, aiming for approximately 10–30 minutes or the duration available within workplace expectations.
3. Self-Monitoring
- Following each planned break during the next workweek, the client will record:
- Whether the break occurred and its approximate duration
- Work-related overwhelm before and after the break using a 0–10 rating
- At least one factor that supported or interfered with taking the break
4. Review and Problem-Solving
- At the next scheduled session, the client and clinician will review the log and identify at least 2 barriers or facilitators related to taking breaks.
- The client and clinician will develop at least one adjustment to improve feasibility, such as scheduling the break, using a reminder, selecting a lower-demand location, or communicating availability appropriately.
5. Progressive Maintenance
- By the end of 4 weeks, the client will report using a planned short lunch break on at least 2 workdays per week for 3 of 4 weeks, while continuing to monitor perceived overwhelm and factors affecting success.
Clinician-Review Considerations
- Clarify what the client means by a “short” lunch break and whether this is feasible within workplace requirements.
- Assess whether work-related overwhelm is associated with anxiety, mood symptoms, burnout, sleep problems, concentration difficulties, workplace conflict, or other concerns, without assuming a diagnosis.
- Consider whether the client needs additional strategies for workload prioritization, boundary setting, communication, or coping with distress.
- Revise the frequency or duration targets if taking breaks increases workplace risk, conflict, or functional impairment.
