Homework assignment to client/group

Practice for hand mobility, neck stretches, dancing Ganesha hand movements for brain challenge, and integrating rest time into her day.

Activities

As per care plan ~ Check-in, enter, ground, Awareness practice, warm-up including Ann Swanson hand movement sequence. Standing asana: cow/cat, empty coat sleeves, downward facing dog, Warrior II stance, dancing Ganesha. Seated neck stretches. Abbreviated healing heart meditation, closing.

Client/Group progress summary

: The client often talks about her husband, his achievements and various times of their life together. Her sense of loss is evident. These remembrances are a healthy way of processing grief. (Megan Devine, It’s Okay that You’re Not Okay:Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture that Doesn’t Understand.) The neck stretches relieve some tension and personal attention/holding space for her sharings is appreciated.

Reflection and self-evaluation

The client’s ability to create a supportive, nurturing lifestyle after the death of her husband is inspiring. She advises all who experience loss of this kind to attend grief counseling which she did. I am learning so much form her.

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.
Plan for next session

Along with care plan, intake for her personalized guided imagery.
