I give my T homework. hehehe... I give him something and say, "This is your homework. Read this over the next week." He finds that funny, when I call it homework.

He doesn't give homework. Well, we laugh about the things he tells me to do... He says, "You know I don't give homework... but I'm telling you to go home and play with your birds. You can tell them about me. Tell them what a bad therapist I am. Tell them what a good therapist I am. Try to create a safe place."

Or he may suggest that I journal about a particular thing and bring it in for the next session.

But no, he has never given a worksheet or anything like that.

I work with coping skills worksheets all the time at my internship. It may seem silly and school-like, but they are actually really helpful and though provoking. They are a directive way to stimulate thought, conversation, and help you to reach insight.
