Having a separate business phone means it can be turned off during a break.<\/li>\n<li>Put protocol in your contract and speak about it with your client.<\/li>\n<li>Have a discussion with your client well before the break &#8211; ask about their plans, what their frame of reference is towards the upcoming holiday.

do you know what happens with this data?<\/li>\n<li>Often this collected data is sold for advertising.<\/li>\n<li>Remove smart devices such as smart watches, phones, etc. from the therapy room when possible.<\/li>\n<li>Turn things off at the wall and unplug devices such as the Amazon Fire Stick.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss social media contact with clients &#8211;
