Personally this is not homework I would consider helpful for me at this stage... my self confidence can be pretty fragile... and though I bull myself through situations as best I can... this was a little too close to the bone (in terms of the task) than I would have liked... but if I can keep my head on my shoulders and try not to slip into a spiral, it will be something for my T to untangle and perhaps it might be helpful in the long run.

Trying to find positives out of this.
This got me to thinking.....Shouldn't we be allowed to say no to therapists because we feel like we're not ready?
(I am not seeing one, so I am simply asking others, here)

Her comment about only having 2 people refuse, sounds a little like pressure via condescension...

I hope that I am not overstepping my bounds or upsetting anyone by this observation.
Thanks for this!
