Questions?
Reflecting on grief he says it was a grief bump. It took him back to some difficult times as a teen dad was a cop but he says he was fair. An incident with a girlfriend came up where the parents insisted, he get married to her, caused him distress-trauma. Story related to life circumstances and certainly the way his parents treated him. Said good things about his dad.
He is really trying to get up and walk. Realizing it maybe another 6 months. Sad
Teachings:
Review Employ Locks and Keys He reaches for equanimity for ease but mostly it works for his Buddhist sensitivities. He has thought about it with his kind friends and brings compassion.

Connect to breath, deepen and lengthen inhale and exhale -pause between.
Exhale hum (to help feel and hear the breath) Listen to the hum and feel the hum, change tones high and low then compare how you feel energetically
Pause on spaces between IN retention and EX suspension

Did a joint movement series Toes, ankle, knee (sort of like a heel pull) , hip (clam shells), Breathe chest and abdominals, Fingers, wrist, elbow, arm

Comments :
The left wrist when elevated under forarm does better flexion/extension-he was surprised.
I moved his arm in flexion and lat flexion both 35 degrees on L side-very stuck. Root of issues with the L arm.
Body scan side to side

His goal is to walk get up to use walker

Client/Group progress summary

His left hand is moving better, one of his mates has noticed as well. We discussed the movement can help the
edema, so keep wiggling fingers and use the wrist.
He likes the low tone hum the vibration feels good.

Reflection and self-evaluation

He is making some progress, and he is motivated but at the same time i feel he is fighting the idea he may not walk. Seems to be a connection to attachment.

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
