Client/Group progress summary

Discussion of the emotions evoked during personalized guided imagery, memories from her childhood, joyous, tender memories throughout various phases of her life. Both sweetness and sorrow arose. Client reflected that that’s how life is, that she has had a life of abundance. Shared that the personalized guided imagery was “spot on, grade A+. Client brought up saying “no” to some social engagements in an effort to create more balance in her life, without overdoing and becoming exhausted.

Reflection and self-evaluation

Equal exchange of wisdom and life experiences. A trusting, open relationship was established. The client was able to self-assess the imbalances in her lifestyle., seeing the benefits of allowing time for quiet and relaxation on her own. She was able to process her grief through sharing memories with me, reflecting on positive qualities of her loved ones who have passed.

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.
