I think part of the initial phases in therapy are trying things out "just" to please our Therapist, until we can figure out that it doesn't hurt us, it is safe or we begin to want to do it, if it is something that we've been unable to get ourselves to do before. (Ok, that was a long convuluded sentence!)
I get homework writing assignments that I've not wanted to do but do because frankly, talking about why I didn't want to do them was harder than doing them. And I'm taking risks WITH my Therapist because he is safe and allows me the room to "practice."
I agree with Dinah. Tell your Therapist about your internal dialogue and the conflict you feel. You will probably learn a lot. BTW - most people do things to please other people. We are a society that rewards behaviors in all kinds of ways. This isn't necessarily a bad thing.
