Cannot Start Therapy Homework
Follow through on the exercises your therapist assigns.
The Problem
Therapy gives you reflective homework, but at home you avoid it — it is emotionally heavy and easy to postpone. The insights stall because the practice never happens between sessions.
Strategies to Overcome It
- 1Schedule a fixed 15-minute "homework" slot weekly.
- 2Keep the worksheet visible so it is not out of sight.
- 3Pair it with a calming ritual (tea, quiet room).
- 4Note one small insight to share next session.
- 5Forgive missed weeks and simply restart.
