Yes, that's one thing about having a woman therapist. Can you see a man assigning shopping homework?
So, here's the story: One of my therapy issues is my relationship with my sister. One time I was telling my T about how when I was a kid my mom would make us dresses that matched. My sister, being dark haired, always got the pink or purple dress, and I always got the other dress, whatever it was. Never pink. I can't tell you how much I wanted that pink dress. But I never even thought to ask for it. Eventually, I just defensively decided that my favorite color was blue (my dresses were often blue). Now, I have no pink clothing whatsoever.
So, my therapist says, I think for a homework assignment you should go buy a pink dress. I said pink isn't really my color, and she said, you should find out what shade of pink looks good on you, and go buy a dress that color that you really like.
So, now I have shopping homework! And pink is *the color* this season, so it shouldn't be hard.
