Your Tools ~ All in One Place
This program gives you more than session scripts. Below is every tool available to you ~ what it does, when to reach for it, and a direct link. You don't need to use all of them at once. Start with the session guides and worksheets, then add tools as you need them.
Printable Worksheets
Session ToolsStructured worksheets for each weekly session ~ thought records, mood logs, behavioral activation planners, and more. Designed to be printed and completed during or between coaching sessions.
When to use it: Use during your weekly session as guided by the script, or between sessions for homework. Print them ahead of time so they're ready when you sit down together.
Session Toolkit
Session ToolsQuick-reference cards and tools organized by topic ~ communication scripts, de-escalation techniques, medication tracking templates, and session preparation checklists.
When to use it: Before a session to prepare, or in the moment when you need a quick reference. Think of this as your field manual ~ the things you need at your fingertips.
Regulation Toolkit
Regulation & WellnessTwenty-one nervous system regulation exercises organized by zone ~ Green (calm), Yellow (activated), and Red (overwhelmed). Includes breathing techniques, grounding exercises, bilateral stimulation, and somatic practices.
When to use it: When either you or your loved one is dysregulated. Match the exercise to the zone: use Green Zone exercises for maintenance, Yellow for rising activation, Red for crisis moments. Also useful as a daily practice to build regulation capacity over time.
Compassionate Inquiry Framework
Session ToolsBased on Gabor Maté's Compassionate Inquiry model ~ a framework for understanding behavior as adaptation rather than pathology. Includes the Pause Before the Story technique, reflective questions, and scripts for having difficult conversations without judgment.
When to use it: When you're struggling to understand why your loved one is behaving a certain way. When conversations keep turning into arguments. When you catch yourself thinking "Why won't they just..." ~ that's your cue to use this framework.
Guided Imagery Studio
Regulation & WellnessAI-generated guided imagery scripts with optional bilateral stimulation (BLS) audio overlay. Choose from safe place visualizations, container exercises, resource installation, and condition-specific imagery. Scripts can be read aloud or played as audio.
When to use it: During the relaxation or closing portion of a session. Between sessions as a calming practice. Especially useful when your loved one is in the Yellow Zone and needs to come back down, or when you need to decompress after a difficult interaction.
Alpha Wave Music
Regulation & WellnessCurated ambient music tracks with embedded binaural beats designed to promote alpha brainwave states ~ the frequency range associated with calm alertness and reduced anxiety. No clinical training required to use.
When to use it: Play softly in the background during sessions to create a calming environment. Use during guided imagery exercises. Your loved one can also listen independently as part of a daily regulation routine.
Self-Care Assessment
Regulation & WellnessA structured burnout and compassion fatigue assessment for you ~ the supporter. Tracks your own wellbeing across physical, emotional, social, and spiritual domains. Includes personalized recommendations based on your scores.
When to use it: Weekly. Non-negotiable. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and you cannot regulate someone else's nervous system if yours is shot. This is not optional self-indulgence ~ it's infrastructure.
Progress Tracker & Export
Tracking & PlanningTrack which modules you've completed, export progress reports, and see your journey through the 12-week program at a glance. Useful for maintaining accountability and recognizing how far you've come.
When to use it: After completing each weekly session, mark it done. Review your progress monthly. Export a report if you're coordinating with a therapist or treatment team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Reference & SupportAnswers to the questions supporters ask most ~ about boundaries, medication, what to do in a crisis, how to handle resistance, and when this program is not enough.
When to use it: When you hit a wall and don't know what to do next. When your loved one says something you weren't expecting. When you're second-guessing yourself at 2 AM.
Crisis Safety Plan
Tracking & PlanningA structured safety plan template based on the Stanley-Brown model. Includes warning signs, coping strategies, emergency contacts, and step-by-step crisis protocols. Fill this out before you need it.
When to use it: Complete this during Week 1 ~ before a crisis happens. Review it monthly. Update it whenever circumstances change (new providers, new medications, new living situation). Keep a printed copy somewhere accessible.
A note about overwhelm: If looking at this list makes you anxious, that's normal. You don't need to master every tool before you start. The session scripts will tell you exactly when to introduce each one. Trust the sequence. Week 1 starts with a mood log and a crisis plan. Everything else builds from there.
