Client/Group progress summary	Stress level down to a 3 attributed to work issue resolving and an increase in self awareness. He feels better and happier. He is aware of how different his interactions are because he is looking internally more often. If there is any anxiety, it's because it is something new he's experiencing. Has not had any panic attacks. All practices have been useful and he reads the affirmations daily.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I felt really prepared and present for this session. I felt a heaviness while holding space in the moments of silence.
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.
