| Session Date | 06/21/2024 |
| Session Number | 9 |
| Total Session Minutes | 75 |
| Homework assignment to client/group | Begin to schedule meals and exercise and selfcare activities two days ahead instead of trying for seven days ahead because this has been frustrating due to unanticipated schedule changes. |
| Activities | Client agreed to be my capstone client. We reviewed her goals from the intake/assessment session; she said they are the same but she feels she needs to recommit to them. Reviewed the short standing/chair asana routine she does on her own at work/home because she has fallen away from the practice even though she loves it. |
| Client/Group progress summary | Client was feeling discouraged but seemed to feel better after our session today. She has been using the gunas mental constitution questionnaire in the evenings before bed as a way to assess her day. She stated that seated meditation is uncomfortable on her knees no matter how she props and wondered if this will get better. I said it might if she practices regularly, but if not, it's completely fine to meditation sitting in a chair. Client has reduced caffeine intake to tea in the morning and a diet soda with lunch (this is a big improvement). Client is able to focus and relax easily when I take her through guided relaxation. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | I was a little worried the client might be angry with me because she texted yesterday to say she needed to cancel our session or move it later because her work scheduled a mandatory meeting. I'd responded with a message encouraging her to keep her boundaries for selfcare with her part-time job that takes up way too much of her time and consistently makes unreasonable demands. She agrees with me. The session went well and we were able to discuss everything we both wanted to discuss. |
| 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 located some possible research articles: Uebelacker LA, Weinstock LM, Kraines MA. Self-reported benefits and risks of yoga in individuals with bipolar disorder. J Psychiatr Pract. 2014 Sep;20(5):345-52. Supine and strap stretches; guided meditation; raja yoga handout plus yamas and niyamas. |
