...play parcheesi instead of chess...
...be patient, not a patient
Don't play so many games a day. Play 'daily chess' and improve.
When improved play 2 hour games and improve
When improved play 1 hour games and improve
When improved play 1/2 hour games and improve
etc.
If all that doesn't help... be still patient and not a patient.
Play parcheesi instead.
Try to play more OTB..... OTB I blunder less than playing 2D-chess. Maybe it helps you as well.

play daily chess and force yourself to think for at least an hour on each move.
Good suggestion. And although it may not directly help with blundering at blitz or rapid games,if he enjoys success, it will help build up a player's confidence level and indirectly ease his anxiety. And perhaps, if, during the course of a daily game, a player first makes note of what his move would be at first glance, he can then begin to categorize his type of blunders after comparing it to his more deliberate move-choice.
Chess is frustrating because you can make 40 good moves, each move the equal or superior to your opponent's moves, and then make 1 horrid choice at move 41, and the game is gone. It's like being an air-traffic controller and landing 99 out of 100 planes PERFECTLY -- better than any other controller... but that 100th plane that crashes really hinders your chances at job-review time.
