If you're talking about social skills, I certainly received no assistance from therapists. One taught me assertiveness, but in a robotic contrived way that no human person talks. "Honey, I felt ANGER, when you stole my bank account."
Furthermore, I've found rules vary to some extent from one social group to another. And "defending my boundaries" resulted in losing valuable connections and opportunities when I handled things with poor political savvy.
I also found therapy can INFLATE events and conflicts, sending me off to inflame situations rather than resolve them.
I still struggle with some interactions others seem to more handle instinctively. I do observe how people I admire handle conflicts or slights and consider how I might handle things for the next time. I've found better ease through time and experience.
