I haven't learnt anything new from my T. She just tells you the textbook stuff that everyone knows, such as eat well, sleep well, exercise, deep breathing etc. I learnt all that in high school. Some at university. I think thats why I get frustrated with her - she has a very smaaaaallll toolbox so to speak, and I keep thinking to myself "is that it???".
The psychotherapist that I used to see in the past had a wayyy larger toolbox. But the insights I learnt there weren't the type of things you could go home and utilize in your life - more just tangental abstract things that had nothing to do with my everyday life. But it was interesting at least. Awareness type stuff.
