| Client/Group progress summary | Client’s external stressors are many and vary from week to week. Their financial restraints contribute to other difficulties such as replacing her broken down car, leaving them unable to pick-up their seizure medications after asking for help from several friends. She remains frustrated with the results of her attempts to take care of her body with extra rest, then still feeling pain and fatigue. The client thought she might be experiencing a flare the day of our session. The movement, breathwork and meditation bring some ease and clarity to the client. She readily connects to the subtle body, showing appreciation for the Sekhmet and Bast meditations. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | The physical body remains a challenge for the client. I see the meditations serving multiple purposes for them: letting go of the physical body to experience the subtle and causal bodies, and over time possibly reduce their perceived pain levels. I continue to offer some new movements for the client to experiment with, seeing how their physical body responds. Trying to incorporate some backbends to counter hip flexion. The client shared stories of childhood injuries from which they have not fully recovered. I remind myself that the goal is not to alleviate all of the client’s pain, rather to assist the client in managing the pain and her relationship to it. Love that they are a meditator. |
| Final Client/Group Report | After 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 | Similar to this session. Revisit the SMTT mini-set without the full forward bend at the end (vertigo,) discuss the gunas, and include alternate nostril breathing. |
