| Presenting Problem | Chronic low back & stress |
| Physical | JM has chronic low back pain on the left side. He is nervous it might trigger at any time. He can feel a twinge in his lower back when the pain starts. He notices his back will be sore if he sits and stands for too long. |
| Client/Group goals | My client wants help with his chronic low back pain and stress. |
| Energetic | He was eager and alert. His main goal was to help his chronic low back pain and stress from work. He knows he needs help with stress and can't continue on his current path. |
| Emotional | He has a supportive family life and feels connected to his wife and kids and has a good social network. He sees a therapist 1x/week. |
| Spiritual orientation and needs | JM believes spiritual connections ease the mind and allows focus on a healthier body. He is not religious. |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | JM was alert and had a clear mind. JM and his coworkers do happy hours about 2x a week.. He said that's a great way to bond and talk shop. He is stressed at work and on any given day, his stress level can be between 4-9 on the stress scale. His boss will often pull him into meetings or expect him and his team to produce ‘miracles’. He often has to talk his boss ‘off the ledge’ with what is achievable or not. |
| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | Sutra 1.14 and 1.15 - Sutra 14: Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time with out break and in all earnestness. Sutra 15: The consciousness of self mastery in on who is free from cravings for objects seen or heard about is non-attachment. My reframing of Sutras 1.14 & 1.15 - "Do your best and leave the rest." My client is constantly focused on work even meeting client's/co workers 2x/week for happy hours after work to talk more about work. He says he believes he "gives it his all" during the work day but sometimes thinks about it even when a task is completed. He wondered if he could have done something different or something more. If he can accept that he did his best and move on without ruminating on the previous task, he'll give more attention to his current task and release some stress that he could have done more. |

Tools from each module should be used (not on each client – but overall) |
| 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. |
