Yuck- that sounds like a lot of homework. And this is supposed to help depressed people? I guess they have to wait for a good day to do their depression homework, because when I needed help so bad, I couldn't even write more than a few words without giving up on myself.
I think the reason why my T doesn't do any CBT with me is because I easily agree to do things, because I want to please people. See T!! I'm the best client EVER!!! Except that when I fail to complete my homework, I would probably be even more depressed than when I started.
T has only once asked me directly to do something. And he was very careful about it, and very specific, and made sure to tell me why and how I needed to do it. That one thing was to meet with the pdoc.
BUT- if it works (and a lot of research shows that it does) CBT sounds like a great method to learn skills that you can use the rest of your life (even when you're feeling well).
