The cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) group received 10 sessions of training in relaxation, cognitive restructuring, and eliminating negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes.
Sessions 3-8 included a number of coping tools (to create a "tool box"), such as controlled breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, cognitive restructuring, positive imagery, problem-solving, and anger management.
The importance of regular exercise for lowering heart rate and reducing stress are examined; progressive relaxation, cognitive thinking, visualization and imagery techniques also are reviewed.
