Activities	Check in: Client has been doing his HW for the last week 5x gratitude, 3x shower meditation, has been deep breathing and stretching though out the day. He was unable to go to the gym but came to my restorative and gentle yoga class in addition to YT. His low back is sore but much better. He said he realizes that the lack of movement will make his low back hurt. He's been setting his alarm for 90 min when he remembers and will stretch, walk and breathe when it goes off. He is doing about 10min/day. I continued with the witness meditation - client was able to sit and meditated for 10+ min. His legs ended up falling asleep so we stood up and did the breath of joy. bouncy twists Standing stretches with a yoga strap-side bends, forward bends, back bends and twists all with tension with the strap.

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	Continue with Witness meditation Strength low back Breath work
