Session went well

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

Client felt the Gita reading spoke to him, will continue with chapter 16 for now.
Continue restorative/yin practice (repeating some for continuity and adding some for more exploration) - since subjectives and measurables show continued improvement with this practice.
