[quote=Anonymous] extreme/ emotional / reactive things like the following? He’s in therapy for anxiety and is a perfectionist. I know I’m supposed to validate emotion, etc. I’ve hit a wall and am exhausted by his anxiety, which only comes out at home…which is his safe place, I know and appreciate. I want to help and be supportive, but right now am feeling burnt out so I don’t think I’m the best at it. So, I’m hoping for some help here from those who have BTDT… Any suggestions for responses to these types of mini explosions? “I suck! I’m stupid! I’m an imbecile! It’s terrible. I can’t do this.” (Math; playing his instrument) “My friends hate me! They ghosted me! No one’s texted me back today!” “I’m horrible! I’m ripping up all my sketch books!” (Sketching, which he spends 1-2 hr/day doing and is quite good) “F$&@! I can’t cook! It’s all disgusting! And my hair is stupid! I can’t do anything right!” [/quote]
