Client/Group progress summary	Client has been attacked by a dog, bite on elbow, aunt passed away, 3 trips to MD in the past week from DE, she’s fighting a cold, and is having difficulty in several positions due to reflux. Ordered Yama/niyama book. Pose a day 10 of 14 days. With everything going on, has been attempting to coregulate family members. Her emotional outlet is her pranayama practice.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I feel more and more drawn to work with groups as opposed to individuals. Hard to find the boundary of psychotherapy with some clients, and what I might think is best. Trying to let her find her way and make suggestions when I can.
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	I’d like to try again to guide her to find a sequence that works for her to be consistent with. And figure out where we are going from here as far as ending after 4 sessions or continuing.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
