Client/Group progress summary
Client felt "complete" after the session and progressing well with her daily home practices. She uses the sutras (Non-attachment practice) when she encounters with situations where she has no control over or it is not her race to run.
Reflection and self-evaluation
I feel the sense of fulfilling my purpose when client's say how they feel after the class. Also, it reminds me to be more responsible with my duty.
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.
