Reminds me of our #2, who used to have intense, lengthy, irrational tantrums, which sometimes resulted in falling asleep from exhaustion. Tantrum over, right? But wait, there's more! At the end of the nap--or even the next morning--the tantrum would pick up right where it left off. Same phenomenon with any dangling issue. They literally could not be put to bed until truly resolved. It really put a new spin on the old "don't let the sun go down on your anger" saying.
On the plus side, this forced us early on to deal consistently and persistently with learning to manage emotions, rather than being managed by emotions. And, though DC is still a work in progress (aren't we all?), it has really paid off in self-awareness and self-management/de-escalation.
