CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION

You may start documenting your 50 sessions as soon as you complete Phase One. You can document one client 50 times or many clients, equalling 50 sessions. The key is you need to show that you have used all the different setups from Phase One and Phase Two. 

Beth Medina, one of the assistants, was kind enough to share this link to her session notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l4mmvIp0g8GqYSWBCtvQMLDQKgO_Y5yErrFa6BbqORE/edit?usp=sharing
