| Assessment | |
| Proposed number of sessions | 4 |
| Location of sessions | in person, my home |
| Planned time per session | 75 |
| Presenting Problem | Stress and Anxiety (diagnosed with GAD since age 12) |
| Physical | Healthy body weight and diet. Exercises daily (variety cardio, weights, walking, group fitness classes). Has taken a few of my group yoga classes. Tight hip flexors; weak abs and back. |
| Client/Group goals | 1. Stress management; 2. Strategies to quiet the mind (interest in meditation); 3. Strategies to self-soothe |
| Energetic | High energy, fast talker, admits to feeling anxious. She stated several times today, "I'm feeling very nervous." She was unsure what to expect from yoga therapy. Admits being a shallow breather. |
| Emotional | Struggles with anxiety and depression especially concerning the state of the world, politics, the economy, the environment. |
| Spiritual orientation and needs | Identifies as atheist but was raised in the catholic church. Cannot "make" herself believe in a God. Finds meaning and nurturing through being close to nature (loves the forest). |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | Admits to being very weak in this area. She had no idea how to answer my intake questions regarding what she is learning/studying and/or teaching. |
| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | Will teach about the koshas, yamas/niyamas, Yoga Sutras 1.2-1.4, and pratipaksha bhavana. All of these can help with stress management and connecting with her own inner peace/quiet. |
| Scientific research reference(s), why chosen, how you plan to incorporate 1-3 | She already listens to podcasts about meditation. She clearly understands the benefits - and knows about scientific studies that have been done. Her challenge it to actually practice meditation because she avoids being quiet, avoids having the face the busyness of her own mind. |

| 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. |
