“Act as an experienced physical therapist who is skilled at motivating patients through difficult moments. I need to prepare for a session with a patient who is feeling discouraged and unmotivated. The patient is struggling with [describe general situation, e.g., 'slow progress after knee surgery' or 'chronic lower back pain that isn't improving as fast as they hoped']. They have expressed [describe emotion or concern, e.g., 'frustration and doubt about whether therapy is working' or 'fear that they'll never get back to normal activities']. Draft a short, empathetic conversation outline I can use to re-engage and motivate this patient. Include: (1) an empathetic opening that validates their feelings, (2) two or three key points to reframe their progress or mindset, and (3) a concrete next step or goal we can focus on together. Keep the tone warm, realistic, and encouraging — not overly cheerful or dismissive of their concerns.”
