Treatment plan goal addressed: reduce social anxiety symptoms to allow client to participate in work meetings without panic. Current status: client has attended two meetings this month using coping skills. Client reports, "I still dread them, but I'm not calling in sick anymore."

Therapist used cognitive restructuring to challenge catastrophic predictions about being judged in meetings. Practiced a brief grounding routine for use before meetings. Role-played contributing one comment during a meeting.

Client engaged fully in the role-play and generated two balanced alternative thoughts independently. Client rated belief in the thought "everyone will think I'm incompetent" at 40%, down from 85% at intake. Reported using grounding before both meetings attended this month.

Continue weekly sessions. Next steps: increase exposure by having client ask one question in next week's staff meeting. Homework: thought record before and after the meeting. Anticipated barrier: a senior manager will attend, raising the stakes; reviewed coping plan for this.
