Well, remember that not all CBT therapists practice "pure" CBT. My own therapist does a lot of CBT work.
In CBT there is a fair amount of homework. You do talk about your current life situations in the light of applying CBT principles to current difficulties.
Which my therapist does on occasion too, he just does it conversationally and without homework.
I apologize for my earlier rant. I had just read some material that I interpreted as rather disrespectful to clients. Certainly not all CBT therapists are like that.
Can you ask your therapist what his/her orientation is? And if it's CBT, for a description of your therapist's way of applying it.
