Mentoring Session Topic and Comments

Platform: where is the field to enter hour client hours? It's not on the individual client session reports anymore. Practicum credit for client hours, submitting final client report for Standard clients, how to access and supply YT student feedback questionnaire to the client, capstone guidelines, previous client hours credit-clarification for allowable time frame. Questions/advice on working with clients: working through grief, an overwhelming response from a client, working with a client that is very guarded and protective, working with a client who is extremely anxious and unable to settle in savasana. HeartMath Institute website resources. Creating a toolbox of goto practices that may have general use with clients: eg 5-4-3-2-1 practice. Remember to include ayurveda with almost every client, eg earthing, abhyanga. Try to see a well rounded sampling of clients during practicum. Amount of research we do will depend on our familiarity with a topic.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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.
