DD is very intense and always has been. As she gets older, her tendency towards intense, stormy crying spells is becoming less and less age-appropriate. These can be brought on by all sorts of things, including fear, sadness about a storyline, or anger. She would like to be able to calm herself down but says she "can't" once she gets going. We use deep breathing with minor success, and if she's winding down, visualization sometimes works, but I need more tools. I worry that these episodes are going to result in her being bullied.
