Client/Group progress summary	Client stated he's doing great. Inquired about back ache, stated it is better, rating it a 4-6 when acting up (previously a 6), but not inhibiting from doing ADLs. Perceived stress scale is now 17/40 (30/40 2 weeks ago) Client stated yin is exactly what he was looking for, he felt great afterwards.
Reflection and self-evaluation	Session went well, as planned (except skipped the harmonium chanting and kept the time for yin practice as client was reporting a great response), and client continues to report multiple improvements.
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.
