Activities	check in gentle shaking of the body to reduce the rajasic state in the physical body. Joint freeing - slow movements to balance the physical state. visualization - riding through a country road closing - after visualization she layed down and said she wanted to take a nap
Client/Group progress summary	Sharon was in a rajasic state when I arrived - physically and emotionally. Her breathing was labored and she was missing her daughter, dog and home. She was also upset that her tv is broken.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I did not feel as connected as my previous sessions because I did not have time to meditate. I noticed how I was affected by my own expectations and began to let go. I was able to guide Sharon away from a state of emotional attachment through visualization of driving through a country road. After the visualization she said she was ready for a nap. I contacted my BBH (hospice) supervisor and told her Sharon's TV was broken and the ALF staff was made aware of it on previous sessions. BBH contacted the director of the ALF and was assured ALF will replace Sharon's TV.
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.
