My T usually gives me "things to work on" in between sessions. Sometimes, it'll be to journal about a particular thing we discussed during the session to see if I can gain more clarity, write a letter of comfort to my younger self at different traumatic times, practice using a meditation app, etc. I usually think the "homework" will be helpful, so I will always at least attempt it. Depending on how the next session starts out, T will ask me how the journaling went, or the meditation, etc. But, if I dive right in with something more urgent and not on the same subject, he doesn't bring it up.
