My 14 year old gets severe anxiety about getting his school work done on time and perfect. He is a straight A student. When he feels overwhelmed, he gets so anxious and starts wringing his hands so violently. When we try to console and help him, it makes it worse. I think this is what is referred to as defense mode. How do we help him? He sees a therapist, but I don't know if it's helping.
