 Doubting Thomas

We're now in week 4? maybe 5 of the course (i lose track of the days!) and I'm feeling much more confident that before that I know what I need to do and how I'm going to go about it. After a one to one Skype call with Helen I had a good idea on where to take both my essay and my diagram and was feeling positive. I therefore sat down for a whole day and wrote my essay start to finish. I've read through it a number of times now and am happy with what I've written, however, I now doubt whether I've done it right or not? I enjoyed writing it and seem to have finished it quite quickly which makes me doubt whether I've missed the point of the essay? Reading it, I think it's informative, expressive and personal to me, however, perhaps I've got the wrong idea of what I was supposed to be writing about in the first place? It seems to me like my brain can't let me just accept something and go 'yes that's good' there has to always be that doubting Thomas in my head! 

As we are only allowed to hand in one draft, I think I will probably hold off and see what more I can learn from the group discussions before finalising a first draft. Has anyone else experienced something similar and have they overcome it?

    I am completely in a different stage to you.. I'm feeling super stressed, not sure whats going on and no where near ready to write an essay... however we all work differently, in different times, with different outlooks.

    I think it is wise to hold off your draft as we have around a month before it is due and it gives you time to ammend.

    What I would recommend is the all module, casual discussions on a Sunday.. getting an insight from other Modules really helps me!

    Following on Chloes comment above I too feel super stressed! So good that you've written your essay, what were the main things you focussed on?

      i followed what it says to include in the handbook, so i did my three areas of learning, mine were learning to mix, learning my self worth and learning to stop showing and just be. and then i did a paragraph each on how each of the lenses relate to my practice and then the word count is up haha
