This workbook is for therapists who want to learn how to utilize credit card points (responsibly and strategically) to help make travel with/without PTO more accessible.

When I launched my own private practice and lost the safety net of PTO, I decided to get creative. I used a mix of delusion and strategy to convince myself that credit card points could be a part of my PTO package :)

Turns out? It worked. Since opening my practice, I’ve used points to significantly reduce travel costs while learning how to make the most of everyday business and personal spending.

Chapters:

1. Is this worth it for you?

2. The basics: How points actually work and how to earn them

3. How to redeem points

4. Using a partner or travel buddy wisely

5. My beginner setup

6. Keeping it sustainable and next steps

7. My current card lineup and resources

Although I have my financial policy in my intake paperwork bundle I send to clients, I also have them sign a separate, short document to ensure they read and understand my financial policies.

Sections include:

*payment

*balances

*declined cards

*cancellations and no-shows

**explanation of why this all matters

Here’s one of my favorite pages from my Regulate workbook.

A simple guide to creating your own sensory toolkit. It walks you through how to build a small, portable collection of grounding items to use when you feel off-center or overwhelmed.

Whether you’re a therapist looking for a practical exercise to share with clients, or someone wanting to bring more regulation into your daily life, this page is a great place to start.

Download it, gather your items, and start experimenting with what helps your body feel calm and steady.

*For clients who say they want grounding skills but would also rather launch themselves into the sun than slow down for five seconds.*

Part education, part experience: This workbook is designed to help you understand what’s happening inside your body when you’re overwhelmed, and how to work with it instead of against it.

Regulate blends the science of the nervous system with reflective, real-world practices. It’s for anyone who wants to feel more connected, grounded, and at ease in their body.

Inside, you’ll find clear explanations, guided reflection prompts, and simple sensory tools to help you:

• Recognize your body’s signals and shifting states

• Build a personalized toolkit for calming and re-centering

• Move from dysregulation back toward safety and connection

• Bring curiosity and compassion into your daily regulation practice

There’s no right or wrong way to move through it. Go at your own pace, pause when something resonates, and come back to what feels useful.

Regulate is part science, part practice.
