Most if not all therapy professionals do assign homework because 98% of therapy is not done in the therapy room. Its taking what you learn in therapy and applying it to your outside of therapy life.

A person on a weekly therapy schedule sees their therapist for 50 minutes out of 10,080 minutes a week. So for 10,030 minutes t he client is supposed to be using what they are learning in the therapy room. (twice a month it is 50 minutes with a therapy professional and 20,110 outside of therapy life, and monthly a person sees their therapy professional for 50 minutes and 40,220 of that they are not in therapy session)

LL doesn't have a chance to give me homework and neither did SKR because I am already doing that myself. When I had no choice but stay in therapy (after I entered therapy for depression a DHS caseworker found out I have a history of dropping off meds and out of therapy so during our first court hearing she had the judge court mandate t hat I remain in therapy at my therapist discression and on medication at my physicians discression) so I desided since I had no choice I could use that time to sit and say nothing and do nothing and lose my child to the system or I could get things taken care of.

So I bring my outside of therapy life into the therapy room I brought the therapy room outside the therapy sessions and into my life. I sat down and wrote out

why I was in therapy
What my problems were
Brainstormed on ideas to take care of those problems

Then I got to work on those things of

journaling
artwork
researching my problems at the local library
learning more relaxation techniques
learned grounding techniques
took classes in the community -
Parenting classes
anger management classes
three depression management classes (2 completed)
Crafts such as diaramas and scale models

A therapist gears their therapy sessions according to what thier clients needs and wants are so I took that and ran with it.

Most times instead of the therapist saying - ok here is what we are going to do today

I say ok here's what I am doing about this.

so my therapists don't have a change to assign me homework because I am already doing more then they would ever think of assigning.

Besides I would rather do something I like and want to do instead of waiting for the t herapist to assign me something to do that may not like or want to do. (another reason why I do my own therapy homework assigning. LOL)
