| Activities | The client has been diagnosed with chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS). She has low energy and is fear of losing cognitive function. |
| Client/Group progress summary | The client had a good week up to the day of the session. She has been travelling but did breathing practice and meditation while she was in a passenger in a car. Her breathing pattern has improved (easier to take a deep breath). On the day of the session, she was exposed to dust or toxin (while going through things in a shed) and was feeling dizzy and unstable physically and emotionally. She felt that her feet were not connected to the ground; did not know where she was in the world. She felt emotionally drained and tired. Assessments of cognitive function and fatigue showed significant improvement from the first session. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | The client texted me about her exposure episode and suggested that we cancelled the session because she was not feeling well. However, I heard the mentor’s voice telling me to let the client know that gentle practice would still be beneficial. Therefore, I let the client know that we could have a gentler session which would benefit her. I threw out my session plan and developed a new one as I drove to the client’s house. Because the client felt unstable on her feet and lost, I thought that restorative yoga would be helpful. While the client was in a restorative pose, I guided the client to observe her physical body, breath and the mind and accept things as they come (mindfulness practice). I also emphasis the sense of grounding, i.e., connection with the ground underneath her. We did Brahmari breath as the mentor suggested and the client loved it. She could feel the vibration throughout the body. She felt better overall after the session. |
| 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 to improve balance, flexibility, and strength. |
