      Treatments

      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      I am learning to take it slow and one day at a time. Thru much prayer
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I did go to counseling within the first year and it made a difference but was too costly and I just could not continue.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Using support groups such as this one you find someone who has been in similiar situations and they are very understanding.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I have been keeping a journal since soon after the arrest. I also use the PrisonTalk online.
