Intimacy “Homework”
If you’ve been working with me, you’ll know I’m rolling my eyes at as I use the word, “homework.” My philosophy is that homework in therapy is insulting to smart, loving people who have been trying to make things better in meaningful ways for a long time. Without going to the source of the negative cycle, homework will make things worse. Please take these offerings to use in tandem with our supportive work together. If these exercises bring up negative feelings or MORE BRAKES, that is what we want to work with!
