Client/Group progress summary	Client seems more present and grounded. She shared some recent challenges with current / former partner and appears to be less attached to their connection and future together. We discussed breathing when uncertainty and conflict arise while being open to whatever arises.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I still wonder if I'm getting through and making a difference. Realizing I need to gauge my expectations for client's progress and trust she's on her path. Keeps showing up so I'll continue to do the same to be of service to her.
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	We'll review progress and next steps for our work together. We'll continue with current sequence with a deeper focus on balance and her resistance to facing her beliefs about her ability to cultivate physical balance.
