Christina, maybe you could just view these questions as conversation prompts rather than homework. I think the word "homework" can be offputting sometimes! Lots of therapists start off by wanting to discuss the client's goals, so these questions let you know in advance that she wants to do this, so when she brings these questions up in session, you've thought about them and don't sit there surprised and drawing a blank. After you get further into therapy, hopefully she will not feel the need to give you preparatory questions for the next time, and will let you choose which topics are most important to you to discuss each time. But to start out, this actually sounds very useful.
