| Total Session Minutes | 105 |
| Homework assignment to client/group | • Establish morning and bedtime rituals that work for her (e.g., set a timer to put down her phone and do breathing and meditation before bed). |
| Activities | The client has stress and anxiety related to taking care of a 94-year-old friend who is the mother-in-law of her late husband. |
| Client/Group progress summary | The client’s mental well-being has improved. She is slowly letting go of the desire to make decisions for her friend. Her intention for bedtime ritual has slipped some, but she feels that she is doing better than before she started yoga therapy sessions. She wants to eliminate several bad habits (eating unhealthily, exercising more and no snack at night). We discussed working on one habitat at the time as doing it all at once can be overwhelming). The client tends to overanalyze and worry about what she does and does not as well as the future. I brought up sutra 2, contentment and Pratipaksha bhavana; she found all these teaching helpful. Both Neuro-QoL and PANAS assessment indicate improvement. Neuro-QoL for Anxiety score changes from 3.25 to 1.75. For PANAS, positive affect increases from 27 to 44 and negative affect decreases from 33 to 19. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | I feel the most helpful aspect of our sessions is the discussion of yogic wisdom. Specifically, the client has used yogic teaching to manage stress and anxiety. I also find that PANAS is a useful tool for how the therapeutic sessions affect the client’s mental and emotional well-being. It is interesting to see how positive and negative affects shift overtime. |
| 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 | This is the last session for this client because she will be out of town for a long time. She will reach out to me for virtual sessions as needed. |
