Presenting ProblemAnxiety with fear for illness
Physical

She is strong and active. Has some body insecurities due to weight.

Client/Group goalsShe wants to overcome her anxiety and get off medication
Energetic

She can have a nice, deep full breath but has said that she often finds herself breathing shallow, just to her chest.

Emotional

This client does not hold in her emotions at all, she is very open and expressive. She is an empath and even shows emotions for those she cares about.

Spiritual orientation and needs

This client does not express any spiritual interest or need. When discussing philosophy with her she finds it interesting.

Intellectual / Sense of self

Very strong sense of self, knows a great deal about how she thinks and shows up in the world but also realizes she has a hard time understanding she can control her thinking and mind.

Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s)

yoga chitta vritti nahrodhi, and non attachment

The teachings of the abilities to control thoughts and thinking are important for her. As well as non attachment because to be able to learn what her attachments are and and to release the control that aids to her feeling out of control.

Also would like to introduce the Niyamas, for the main cause of our suffering is worrying about things we cannot control.

Scientific research reference(s), why chosen, how you plan to incorporate 1-3

When working with this client, she doesn't have any physical restrictions. I think it very important to do poses and postures that move with the breath, but mindful of her heart rate going to high.

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.
