Client/Group progress summary	Eugene was late to our session but had texted me and in session apologized for his tardiness and said next time if this happens, if he sees that the train is late he will walk back to work to meet his obligations on time. His stress level has declined (2-4) at home, he attributes it to solidifying the plan for the birth - he was previously uneasy not knowing where the birth would take place. His stress at work is low (2-3), he is beginning to accept things as they are. He did not like his review but accepted it.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I wasn't sure how Eugene would react to the restorative poses but he did enjoy them and said he was ready to greet his family with calm after such a stressful commute. I'm gaining more confidence in preparing for sessions and in turn in guiding the sessions.
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.
Plan for next session	Continue on the stress reduction path.
