Client/Group progress summary	Client has been able to practice non-attachment with other persons problems. Client reports that she has been able to re-direct and detach emotionally, and without feeling guilty about not taking on other people’s issues. Client reports that she does her meditation and asana practice every morning. During the 5th session, client received shadow work therapy and Client reports that she had an amazing time doing the shadow work – it was a great release.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I would like to be able to have more fluency in the sessions – in that I wish the thoughts would come to me more easily as to how I should respond sometimes. Note: As instructed by Sue Evans, on July 8th: all of the minutes for session 1 through 4 (461 minutes total), plus session 5 (150 minutes total) have been included in this Individual Session Report for a total of 611 minutes. There was nowhere else to put the minutes of sessions 1 - 4, and I was instructed to put it into the Individual Session report.
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	Next session will be our 6th session, and we will meet after the client’s birthday which is coming up. The plan is to see how the client is doing with her determination to cease smoking during her birthday. To talk about her progress with noticing internal stressors, attachments, aversions. To review these teachings, and to see what the client wants to work on.
