Homework assignment to client/group

Extended exhale practice. Gentle stretching throughout the work day.

Activities

Same as Session 6, except led client through Soothing Inner Tide Pool guided meditation. Explored quad stretch in several variations. Most accessible version is standing, holding ankle on same side. Closed with metta meditation.

I asked client if they have a goddess or goddesses they are drawn to. Answer: yes. Seckhmet and Bastet/Bast, Egyptian.

Client/Group progress summary

The client was willing to explore shoulder ROM in all movements of the shoulder joint. Abduction with bent elbows causes “clicking” in the right shoulder joint. As noted previously, raising arms above shoulders is painful.

Learned. The client dislocated left knee when they were 13 years old. Persistent weakness and stiffness in that knee. Left hip and leg tighter than right.
Remember. Vertigo. Forward folds can cause dizziness. Half fold is okay. Neck tilts for one round are tolerable.

Client self-reported that their body felt more easeful at the end of the session and they were refreshed.

Reflection and self-evaluation

Introduced Durgha yantra. Discussed working with goddess energy. Client was excited at the prospect. I was surprised to learn client connects with Egyptian goddesses Seckhmet and Bastet (Bast.) More to learn. I know nothing about Egyptian dieties.
Now that my relationship with the client is better established, I feel they would be okay using a quantitative pain scale.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake)
Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session

Assess client’s pain at beginning and end of session using the Wong Baker pain scale.
Same or similar physical movements as last session. Introduce mantra repetition of Seckhmet or Bastet, client’s choice. How does that feel in body and outlook. Assign mantra repetition as homework.
