Homework assignment to client/group	We've agreed that this will be our last session. I've given her a summary of the various asanas, hand exercises, breathing practices and meditation guidelines to refer to going forward. I also offered to meet with her again in the future.

Client/Group progress summary	All in all, I think the client has made good progress over these past few months. I'm grateful to see that she does appear more relaxed and aware of herself when she is feeling stressed or down. Her depression seems to have improved. I know she has the awareness, tools and practices to support herself when she finds herself facing tough circumstances and feelings.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to work with this client. While we didn't click and her progress wasn't as much as I had hoped for, I trust that I did my best and that she'll do her best with these practices going forward.
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.
