Heheheeee
My daughter would have these things we would call "melt downs"--cos thats exactly what they were...
She would go for a "quiet time" which would often be her blowing her lid so intensely the walls would shake--fer real!I'd be outside the door--holding it shut(cringe), counting to ten, waiting for the storm to subside....that went on for years until she could manage her emotions.When she was in that state--there certainly was no reasoning etc...

Her cousin, who is one month older, would have a "quiet time" and pretty much DIE of embarrassment!!Go figure?

It depends so much on the kid, and how their little brains are wired.We were two extremely mellow parents--who were blessed/challenged with a child who has a huge spark for life. The coping skills are gonna be different.Now, she is older, and has found her balance(thank god!).But I'm divorced!Ha!
