Relaxation tech:
Biofeedback: works off of mind/body connection allows one to
recognize stress effect on HR, blood pressure, body
temperature, muscle tension
Progressive muscle relaxation - pg. 285 start with # 14 and talk
them through the end.
Autogenic Training: hypnotic state of warmth and heaviness in
extremities
Meditation - 15 minute block of clearing mind by concentrating
on "one" while breathing in and "two" while breathing out.
