Client/Group progress summary	Small, quiet group today - not much feedback or reactions/responses to anything. They appreciated the readings. And everyone got blocks! Some used for fwd fold and some sat on them (or both).
Reflection and self-evaluation	I felt awkward today, not sure why. I’ve been really tired and having difficulty focusing. Glad it was a small class.
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’m debating whether to keep with the theme for a few more weeks, or explore something like swadhyaya… otherwise, continuing with the balance work and usual outline of class
