I'm a talker by nature. SO it hasn't been hard for me to spill everything to her. I'd much rather talk it out than write it out. I can talk so much faster than writing LOL and therefore figure it out much faster.

I'm just not a writer. I can give it a try and told her as much. It will be hard for me. Mostly bc I'm super super busy. I have two kids at home, I run an inhome daycare, and I work part time for our church (20ish hrs a week). Just busy but I suppose you have time for what you make time for, right?

I think it depends on the T and the kind of therapy that they practice. I know with CBT homework is pretty common.

What is CBT?
