Client/Group progress summary	Client is feeling well and doing a good job of managing the stresses of daily life. She is using the witnessing practice now at work with drama that goes on between her co-workers, seeing that she doesn't have to be affected by their choices, their conversations, etc.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I'm feeling good about how I have worked with this client and seen her progress. I feel sure she has a complete toolkit of practices to draw from as she moves forward. Today, we talked about how it's not possible to stay still in our spiritual journey: we're either making progress (even very slow progress is still progress) or we're backsliding. She understood this from personal experience and clearly sees the value of self-discipline (tapas).
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	Tie up any loose ends as expressed by the client. Create a mutually agreed upon schedule for checking in via email or texting each week or month.
