| Session Number | 4 |
| Total Session Minutes | 75 |
| Homework assignment to client/group | 1. continue to practice ha breath. |
| Activities | Reviewed past assignments (sound, walking, documentation of agitation periods, TV exposure, dance, asana practice). Client has not been doing the asana practice on her own. Engaged with mother today and taught her practice of tadasana, hip circles, and bouncy twists. Taught ha breath to client and to mother today. This was difficult for client to convert into nostril breaths from making the ha sound, so stayed with ha sound using mouth open for now. Continued to talk about the true nature of the self being calm and pure with both client and parents. Parents overall were more positive. Discussed difficulties with sleep. It was revealed that client is apparently going to the gym to work out (with parent) around 8 or 9 pm at night. Discussed how this would cause sympathetic nervous system activation and how this may lead to wakefulness at night. Client agrees to do work outs before 7pm. Had part of session (last half) with client alone in room and parents in adjacent. Client's posture, breathing pattern, and overall facial expressions seemed to brighten when her parents were away from the screen. She, herself, would start dancing and encouraged myself and the behavioral health specialist to dance with her. Mom noted about 7-8 agitation episodes daily and skipping some days. |
| Client/Group progress summary | Overall, periods of agitation improving; still with hallucinations and still with feeling that agitation periods are related to an intrinsic behavioral issue that is her fault, but overall the client sense of safety, sense of feeling as a whole and separate person from her parents is improving. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | There are some symptoms that are likely being helped with medication, but it is clear that the psychological progress the client is making with regard to esteem, sense of separateness from parents, being a person worthy of praise, and having a sense of her own life are directly related to our work using yogic ideas and practices. |
| 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. |
