What are homework assignments and why are they a part of cognitive therapy?
The most important, positive changes that you will make in your life will occur in your everyday experiences outside of your therapist’s office. To help you make these “real life” changes, your therapist will help you design homework assignments. These assignments will show you how to apply the ideas and skills you’ve learned in therapy between sessions. This process will enable you to become your own therapist once your work with your cognitive therapist is complete.
