Therapy Assignments

Several people have mentioned on the board that their therapist has them do therapy assignments.  I thought it might be good if we all could share some of the assignments we were given.  They can be just the general assignment, nothing too personal.  I think it may be helpful for all of us.


The only assignment I have had so far in therapy is to keep track of my negative thoughts, so I can learn to turn them into positive ones.


What kind of assignments has everyone else had?

My therapist recommended a workbook on depression and anxiety, plus I did numerous cognitive behavioral therapy assignments.

The most homework I had was with TRT = trauma resolution therapy.

It is called "Depressed and Anxious - The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Workbook for Overcoming Depression and Anxiety", by Thomas Marra, Ph.D, 2004.
