Social Sciences - Psychology
Portuguese term or phrase: recolher
This is European PT, from a psychology patient questionnaire:


Os funcionários desta instituição, quando eu estou com dores:

1) Ajudam a arranjar transporte para ir tratar dos meus assuntos

2) Incentivam-me a confiar na minha capacidade para continuar a funcionar

3) Incentivam-me a participar nas actividades

4) Ajudam-me com tarefas o que me permite tratar dos meus assuntos pessoais

5) Aconselha-me a **recolher** para atenuar a intensidade da dor


Any ideas on an English synonym for "recolher" in this context?

Thanks in advance.
