Termination Session 2: Homework

When pressed, T gave me three items of homework. But she doesn’t like to give homework, let alone structured exercises, because that feeds into my “good boy/bad boy” complex.

Me: But I feel like that whether you encourage me or not.
T: I know.

So the exercises are:
1. Don’t rush to judgement.
2. Listen to my stomach.
3. Try to find a boy between “good boy” and “bad boy”.

What am I supposed to do with that?! I need more guidance.

Thinks: Therapy must at least start with the way the patient actually thinks.
