I would say that there has not so much been active teaching, but support and encouragement of things I once was not so keen on but now seek out. Most important of these, being present and mindful of the choices I make in my life (and increased awareness of how things impact me) and being okay in the face of grief and sad/distressing memories of my past. Positive benefits: increased joy and enjoyment, much less anxiety and PTSD stuff, doing more of what I want and saying no more often to what I don't want. My life belongs more to me, not to my past or the negative life events that have more recently occurred. I'm working towards my goals and not just getting through life.
