Client/Group progress summary	Client continues to show up with results, insights and gratitude. Explained that since moving from VA to OR, she's been seeking a spiritual community / sangha - stated that I've been like a lifeline to her during this transition period. We discussed her resistance to making new friends. She fears falling into her usual caregiver role. Wants to do it differently this time. We talked about the wonder of a new opportunity to connect differently - more on a peer basis. Briefly discussed Sankalpa. She's learning and a little uncertain about showing up to connect differently - a peer-to-peer context now. We agreed it's a learning process and that a lot of good would come from it as she keeps her Sankalpa in mind.
Reflection and self-evaluation	So grateful, humbled and wow'd at the thought of meaning so much to someone in a YT / client context. For me, it's a call to humility, wonder and intention as I work with clients. I may have an idea of what they need and what they'd benefit from, yet no idea of how it can impact their journey or well-being. Wow.
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	More of the same. An overview of the vagus nerve and self-regulation relative to the Gunas.
