Hi, Thanks for replying. Psychologist has helped by giving me reassurance that I’m handling the situation in the right way, reminding me to give her at least 20 minutes to recover from a meltdown before really engaging with her, as when she is in peak flight/fight mode she’s virtually in auto-pilot and not really taking in anything said to her, so trying distraction prior to her getting too high or once in that zone, trying to leave her to settle by just sitting with her quietly etc. While she is unwilling to seek help, I just do the best I can. It just helps to talk to others facing a similar problem sometimes. Just have to focus on the positives...she’s very driven to achieve academically despite her difficulties in getting past the anxietyat present, she’s reasonably healthy and I believe she will get there eventually. Just take one day at a time.
