Client/Group progress summary	Lots of good stuff at this session. Client is a therapist and has been sharing some of her favorite tools and practices with her clients. We talked about how that supports her in deepening her own practice and awareness. Really appreciated learning more about the Vagus Nerve, its physiology and how it supports her own self-regulation / energy management.
Reflection and self-evaluation	So grateful to be working with such an open and receptive client. Supports me in my intention to do my best and dig deeper to support her on her path. I'm still tickled at times to see how much I do know. Not everything, but certainly way more than I've given myself credit for. YAY!
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. Deepening the integration and flow of all that we've been doing. I'll also discuss wrapping up our time together in the next few sessions, documentation and how we can continue to work together going forward.
