While you are in prison, I can assist you with identifying community resources when you are released. Is there anything you have done in the past that helped to reduce your anxiety or frustration?” Mrs. Littlefield responded “I have enjoyed taking walks and reading romance novels.” More patient teaching regarding coping strategies and cognitive restructuring: “Perhaps we can talk about some exercises you can do while in prison. There is a small library with books and magazines that is available to you here. We can walk there together.” “There are a number of interventions you could use, like applying ice packs, stretching exercises, and core strengthening to name a few. I could show you when you are ready for that?” Mrs. Littlefield’s response was “I will think about it, but I am not sure it will work.” - - - [Show More]
