Does your therapist ever give you homework?

I've seen her for ONE session. Aka: TODAY. She's given me homework, and although it seems straightforward, I don't know how to answer them.

1) What do I want out of counselling with her?
2) What are my general impressions of therapy altogether?

Okay, so her "speciality" is CBT. I could probably use that, I just don't *like* the idea. I want to remain sane throughout the rest of my academic career. I want to be better in the future than I am right now.

My general impression of therapy: I've had 4 therapists, in 3 years. The longest time I've gone consecutively with one is 8 months. (Not my choice, most were doing internships).

My head hurts. I don't know what to say. Heck, I dont even really want counselling right now. But I know I need it, just to keep myself sane because I dont talk about my issues with others as often.

I should fix myself "now" while I get free counselling, rather than later when I have to pay for it, right?

I don't know. *shrugs and sighs*
