Client/Group progress summary	Client is aware of triggers and the physical and emotional effects of stress on the body. Client has been using the breathing exercises covered in the sessions to reduce stress, specifically when traveling. The client is motivated in continuing the sessions.
Reflection and self-evaluation	Instruct client at the beginning of a restorative practice that they will be in each pose for a longer period and explain the benefits of staying in the pose for longer periods. It is best to slow down then hurry through the sessions. No matter how terrible I thought I did, the client always benefited from the practice. I am enjoying my time.
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.
