Nicole has a lot of anxiety around her dissertation right now. She has issues with writing to begin with, but has either not received much help, or gotten bad advice up to this point. A big part of today was simply getting to know her and understanding how I can help her with her writing block. She needs to work on the organization of her ideas, and relaxing when it comes time to write. I think we had a great session and I'm looking forward to working with her.
