Client/Group progress summary	Client is feeling a little better over the past week. Shoulder pain is 5/10, hips 5/10, nausea 8/10 & lasted most of the day on a couple days, wife left yesterday for a conference for the weekend, PCP planning an endoscopy due to ongoing nausea. Completed 1 chair practice this week, but pranayama before bed each night and feels like he's getting to sleep quicker. Post practiced he described feeling "refreshed."
Reflection and self-evaluation	Session went well and I feel I'm providing a great level of support, but client continues the pattern of non-compliance or reducing in some areas while maintaining in others.
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.
