Client/Group progress summary

Check-in: Client feels clarity that he has a loss in his life with the former relationship and some anger for allowing the toxicity in his life, but feels great and more capable. Client's back pain is relieved.
Closing: Client states he hasn't felt this good since a reiki session years ago.

Reflection and self-evaluation

I was initially concerned that he had negative issues arising, but soon realized he did not look at them as negative. It seems he may have found some clarity and processed some of the recent negative issues.
Session went well, and client felt great subjectively, and noticed objectively that he was resting in the poses better with less movement.

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.
Plan for next session

Continue restorative/yin practice (repeating some for continuity and adding some for more exploration)
