Notes in your approach · Schema

AI session notes for schema therapy, written the way Schema writes.

Schema work is precise about which schema and which mode, and a note that says the client was upset has lost the clinical content. Cogent records the schemas activated, the modes present and the experiential work done.

01What the draft keeps

The elements a Schema note has to carry.

Pick Schema at the start of a note and the draft comes back with this structure, using schema therapy terminology precisely and leaving blank anything you did not record.

  • Schemas activated, named from the eighteen early maladaptive schemas rather than described.
  • Modes present in the session and how they shifted.
  • Mode work undertaken, including which mode was addressed and how.
  • Experiential techniques used, such as imagery rescripting and chairwork.
  • Limited reparenting and healthy adult observations where they occurred.
02Why a general tool gets it wrong

A note that splits the difference fits no one.

Without the model, a summary records the emotional content and misses the structure. Abandonment schema activation with a vulnerable child mode present becomes the client became distressed about their partner, which is true, useless in supervision, and impossible to track across a course of therapy.

03Common questions

The questions psychologists ask before they try it.

Does Cogent name specific schemas and modes?

Yes. The schema template works from the eighteen early maladaptive schemas and the standard mode set, so the note records which schema was activated and which mode was present rather than describing the emotional tone. It records what you documented and marks what you did not.

Can it write up chairwork and imagery rescripting?

Yes, as experiential techniques in their own right, including what the work targeted and what shifted. The draft keeps your clinical language rather than rewriting the intervention into general terms.

04Other approaches

Eight approaches at launch, each written as itself.

If you work across models, the template is chosen per note rather than per account.
