Ok. Listen, mirror (when appropriate), validate and empathize with what she says. Don't argue, plead or beg. Don't seek reassurances. Don't prolong the talk at all. If asked, tell her you don't want a D and would like to work on the M. That's it. Tell her she can have as much time and space as she needs. Don't set more deadlines. They just add pressure.

Good luck,
Nomo
