I have a child (now grown) who is easily flooded by emotions. When he was young, he would have tantrums. As an adolescent, it was words. As an adult, he now shifts to a physical channel to help control the intense surge of emotions. I have seen first hand how he went from his emotions controlling him to him controlling them. It can be done but as you say, it is not always easy. Wonderful tips! Thank you, Sandra.
