Client/Group progress summary	Client has returned to painting (after not being motivated to do it) - usually abstract, but trying realism this time, some discomfort w/R shoulder Conducted Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) baseline - 17/21 (>5 = dysfunction) Changed alarm to 9 am (still 6 on Sundays for gym & church with wife), but did not do the yoga homework, will do extra check-in this week.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I was a bit nervous about building rapport and gaining more details, but utilized a couple tidbits of myself such as going through the sleep study and having sleep apnea, which seemed to work well as client began sharing more and became more lighthearted.
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.
