Off-hand? I would suggest 'keep it subtle' as the rule for this. Make the breakdown... emotional, but not extremely so. No top-of-the-lungs screaming and gnashing of teeth. Indeed, the character just... silently falling to pieces can be far more powerful and show far more clearly how damaged they are.
