Client/Group progress summary	Client showed up ready to go. Her mood was better. Shared about conversation w/ former partner that was encouraging to her. She shared about his problems and asked if I had any practices, etc. to share with him. I explained that I couldn't do that w/o meeting with him. I told her to share what we've been working on. Added that I'd be happy to meet with him as well.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I wonder if I'm getting through or being of much help to client. Must remember she's showing up on time - engaged and seemingly forthcoming about all that she's facing and gaining from our work together. Remembering to meet her where she's at and trust that she's somehow gaining benefit in our work together.
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 same sequence - continue discussion re balance and how that applies to her life mentally, emotionally and physically. Check to see if our work is what she had in mind and what she's needing.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
