No. I have learned coping techniques, to some extent, while in therapy, but not as a direct result, anyway, of the therapy. I have learned some on my own, the hard way, reinforced to some extent by reading similar tales by other people of how to cope. Many of their suggestions seem to be exactly the wrong things for me, but some do make me think I am not totally bonkers in my own thinking.

"Mindfulness" is an example. I developed some of this on my own, partially successfully. But the way I hear it described by others can seem just right (Yes!) or quite wrong. I have to have things described quite specifically and artfully for me to understand.
