Progress Towards Goal 1 | Danica talked about staff changes & wanting to have the same person on a continuous basis. At first we would work parallel on a craft project w/very little conversation. After a few weeks Danica started to tell me about her family. On one of our walks, Danica had a “vision” of “spirits”. I asked her to describe them to me & how they made her feel. She told me how it started, what she went through when they first happened & how upsetting it is that they keep appearing. Danica was sobbing & said that she needed to talk to her doctor about “upping” her medications as the “spirits” are appearing more often. Danica has had a few episodes of seeing the spirits when we are out walking. She has stated that it’s “not fair” that she is the only one that sees & hears them. She also expressed concern that she can’t make friends when this keeps happening to her. Danica has seen her doctor & her meds have been increased. She also goes to counselling. |
Progress Towards Goal 2 | Danica was buying sweet drinks & 2 donuts every two weeks after bowling. She also bakes at home & buys cookies etc for her house. She has expressed wanting to lose weight ( I believe a conversation happened at home). Danica is now bringing large water bottles on our outings, as well as oranges for snacks. We talk a lot about meal plans & what is in cupboards at home determines food options for snacking on. When we are out in the community, Danica is asking to go for long walks. |
Goal 3 | Maintaining friendships that are reciprocal. |
Progress Towards Goal 3 | Danica expressed concerns that 2 friends she saw on a regular basis could be “bossy” & she would be the one to pay for lunches, dinners & drive them around etc. We talked about how that made her feel, the cost involved considering they worked more than her & what she wanted from a friendship. She has contacted a friend that she had lost touch w/due to having a baby. They got together & went for a park visit. That friend picked her up & dropped her off. They have made plans to meet regularly. Danica also expressed how nice it was to be around a little one. |
