I probably should refuse. Particularly given my attitude. I think it's possible that while I do want to please him, I also want him to never do this again.
I really hate this. With the exception of a few Dinah in the bath moments, I think much better in the give and take of conversation. I figure things out so much better on Babble than I would if I journaled.
I hate to draw. I'm terrible at it, and it fills me with dread to think of having to draw something someone else will see.
I don't like the rigidity that these homework assignments require. No, I can't use words instead of pictures. No, I can't type instead of write. No, I can't do it on several pages, it has to be one large sheet of paper. Etc. Etc.
And this smells to high heaven of the sort of pop psych that will make me think less of my therapist.
I may well be judging it too harshly, but if he wanted me to accept it better he should have presented it better, giving me more of an idea of the purpose.
