reducing perfectionizing/outbursts

[Guest guest]

My daughter's mood has improved a little on this switch to

prozac.

But she is still having an episode usually at the end of the day

of insistent on something having to be a certain way,

she will get in my face insisting that this thing be done.

For an hour or so, she will be in my face yelling at me

that some thing has to be done, and I will try get her

to calmly talk to me as a way to try to regulate her.

I way say to her it is anxiety that is making you feel

you need this right this minute, but you can wait.

It usually ends with her blowing up throwing things.

This behavior has improved in that I can talk to her,

and she is not getting as aggressive.

How can I help her understand that anxiety is driving

this behavior. She won't be able to benefit from

therapy until she can reflect on what she is doing and

want to stop this.

I appreciate any suggestions,

Pam

to talk but it is not registering.
