I've only had 7 sessions total. He did assign me homework after session 2... it was very doable (I was SO relieved) - except apparently I did it wrong (so sad).
I had worked really hard on it too.... it was basically a picture of what my universe looked like at a certain age (who I interacted with at that time). I was supposed to make things scale though, so people who were more important were supposed to be bigger... and I didn't realize that at all (oops). He had me redraw it, by hand, during therapy... which was a bit of a terrible mess for me (I couldn't figure out the scale, felt too watched, just sort of crumbled a bit although I did eventually get something for us to talk about...) ugh, yuck.
I think there was one more assignment after that, but I didn't finish it and didn't talk about it because it made me feel worse... and by that time we were talking more about therapy and how to make it work.
I'm not opposed to HW at all - as long as the T is accepting if you have to modify the assignment to make it more do-able and to not cause you to spin out.
