[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 403968, member: 3444"] Absolutely she needs to go in for counseling. And YOU cannot be her therapist. My difficult child 1 goes through similar catastrophizing periods and shuts down if he feels he's not in control. His dad's the same way. difficult child 1's therapist and I talked to him about this very thing. therapist pointed out the cost to difficult child 1 when he handles things poorly (effect on others who care, lost time and opportunity, punishing himself and others, etc.) He gave me a chart for helping difficult child 1 work through the cognitive aspects of these behavior choices. It's not that the negative feelings are bad or avoidable, it's how she deals with them that matters. [/QUOTE]
