I hope I have the right froum for this question. I've watched the previous episodes to Grow which she appeared in but what exactly does she suffer from? If anyone knows the answer to this, it's someone on here. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what she suffered from, but I would love it if someone would post here a chronology of all of the episodes that featured her.
Thanks...

The only thing Nicole suffered from was childhood abuse at the hands of her father. And in my opion, she suffers from Terminal Evilness.  Nicole episodes so far: Anti-Thesis, A Person of Interest, Great Barrier, Grow. |

Nicole seems to be suffering from dissociative disorder. She shows some obvious signs of PTSD, and she's clearly running from and denying her past. She pursues life through a series of alternate identities, though it seems she never fully immerses herself in these identities.
As Goren says in Anti-Thesis, she survived a horrible abuse with her wits in tact. The way she learned to cope with the abuse without completely losing her mind, becoming a drug addict, or committing suicide was by disassociating herself from the child being abused. She went to another place; another life as another person in her mind and lived there until her own life became bearable again.
What is most compelling about Nicole is whether she’s able to see what she is, and what she could/should be are far from the same, and whether she keeps revealing herself to Goren because she thinks he has, or is the answer to fixing her, or if she’s a bit of a masochist and uses him to destroy the happy lives she creates for herself. Maybe it’s a bit of all of the above.
