Its so strange that I’ve heard so many people talk about their struggles with writing, yet no therapists who focus on it. If you search online for writing anxiety, you can find academic papers discussing how effective Writing Process Training[1] is, but you cannot find anyone who practices Writing Process Training.

Then again, the same is true for software task estimation. Lots of people talk about how hard it is but the only ones who can teach it are those who blithely say “you learn it by experience” or find it so simple they think it is a matter of “go with your gut and multiply by 2”. Does anyone have any guesses at the reason behind the absence of therapists and tutors who offer services in teaching people how to overcome these commonly-held challenges?
