Client/Group progress summary	There isn't much progression yet with the physical body, but the ladies in the group did comment that they did their time to sit and observe for a few minutes and it wasn't as hard as they thighs it would be,
Reflection and self-evaluation	They are good students how listen and understand when something doesn't feel right or takes them linger to get in, so i keep the space and the room held for them.
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.
