| Session Number | 12 |
| Total Session Minutes | 75 |
| Homework assignment to client/group | 1. client to review affirmation card daily. |
| Activities | 1. reviewed parents' report of how client has been doing. Had one episode of short lived (5min) agitation in the last week. The client speaks English fluently while her parents do not, so she understood this and agreed to use this card daily until our next session when we would pull another. Danced for the remainder of session. Parents were very grateful. Of note, I met with another provider (nurse practitioner) who relayed the information that prior to becoming my client, the client was living in a group home. She was known to follow the group home staff around, particularly a female staff member. The group home felt overwhelmed and client was released back home to family. The nurse states that the client's family both during the time she was in the group home and when she returned back home, had no interest in medications. Mother was interested in more natural treatments. As such, the client was discharged to my care. |
| Client/Group progress summary | Overall, she continues to improve; only one episode of agitation in the past week. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | The yoga based interventions correlate easily with ideas in Chinese medicine and philosophy, making it easy for the client and her family to understand concepts. This has been very helpful and a good learning experience for me. The client's manas, her mind, has a large representation of her family. My working with her family and helping them to use pratipak shabavana when they have negative thoughts about their daughter, has proven very helpful in allowing the client's manas/mind to recuperate. |
| 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 | 1. continue going over asana, dancing and cards with client. Will not plan to add another element to asana for now. This sequence is very short and something the client is able to memorize. More elements would likely be overwhelming. |
