had t today and t gave me some homework to do. make a collage about csa, read some of a book were working on together and send her an email about it and come up with a list of questions to show her next time and discuss. the reason for the questions i think is because ive never asked her any. but thats because i dont have any.

That sure seems like a lot!
Is there anything else you have to do too? Like work? Trying to juggle both would be hard. Hopefully you'll be able to get it all done, but if not what will happen? Wish you the best!

That's a lot of homework. I think it will be ok even if you don't do all of it, you can start with what is most important to you and see how it goes. My T used to give me homework and I usually did it when I felt like it and in a way I liked it, and there never was any trouble. As I understand T homework is something that is supposed to help you, so if it's too much or too hard at this point in time, or you have too little time to do it all, that kind of means it's not helping. It isn't supposed to be easy, but still. And you know, you may come up with questions to T while you're doing the other things on your list.

Remember that there are no "grades" and you're the paying customer, so homework is meant to help you to process during the time away from T if you need it. Not a "must do" like in school. You could break them down into smaller steps and just do a little to start before the next appt

The latest homework my T gave me is something I'm finding very hard to do....so I just tell her that each session. I let her know that I'm still thinking about what she asked me to do, but I haven't managed to actually do it yet.
So - do what you think you are able to and tell your T that you didn't forget about the rest, but you weren't able to do it for whatever reason. It's not for a grade, it's just to help you.

I never have homeowrk with T other than to read this book called "The Prescence Process" which we have been doing for months now, I read a chapeter a week and then we talk about it and she goes over the important parts. thats pretty much it, Other than that I dont get any homework.

I personally love homework. It is optional however
 If you can't think of any 'relevant' questions to ask her start small like: what made you decide to be a therapist? - ask questions about her if you like. Just a thought.

sannah, i think its a combination of where we are at in t and amount of homework that makes it overwhelming. its making me freak out or something. i dont know if i can handle it as we continue on. not without the s/i increasing.
geez, the idea of asking questions just scares me. i dont want to ask any. i dont like asking anyone questions. id rather keep quiet. i thought i loved doing homework too. but this stuff is always too hard to do. i thought the collage would be interesting and i like art stuff. but it is starting to bother me and i just started it. |

I can empathize ((suzzie)). I have a list of questions I haven't had the guts to ask yet about my t :-)
I am thinking your collage idea is a great one and I may try that. Write now I'm doing a writing exercise and it's going ok but visually would mean more to me than words on paper.

If your homework is causing you to have SI urges, your T needs to know this. I would suggest that you don't do your homework if it is causing SI urges until you talk to your T about all of this.
