Homework assignment to client/group

I suggested slowly starting a shower meditation. Washing away her stress and worries and see them go down the drain. She is slowly doing the shower meditation but has a hard time. I suggested getting some body scrub, and as she's scrubbing her body, scrubbing away the old and stress and when she rinses off the scrub, letting go.

Activities

Client/Group progress summary

Client is a progressing with her strength. Her low back and shoulder pain have seem to subside but does act up every now and then. She states are kids are easier now to put to bed, less crying and clinging. I asked if she's doing anything different she said no but I suggested it was her calm energy she's bringing them. Kids feel and know. When she's calm, they'll tend to be calm. Told her she's worked hard on herself and I noticed she definitely has a calmer energy.

Reflection and self-evaluation

Continue to let the client lead. Noticed most of the time if I plan something, it never is what is needed during the session.

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.
