Mine would be -love- the importance of loving myself, loving others, and not letting others lack of love affect who I am.

"Nothing"
bahahaha. I haven't been with my T long enough to feel like I've learned anything. But I don't know if I ever will learn anything - I didn't want therapy and only went as it was the only way to get to the pdoc.

Hope. More characters because the site undervalues the importance of "Hope" and says it is too few characters.

"and"
If I have to choose one word, right now that would be "and". It has helped me with my struggle to pigeon-hole ideas/people. Something can be wonderful "and" frightening - making a change in one's life or a new policy at work, or... Therapy is too complex, and I am too complex to define it's benefits in one word, and I wanted to contribute to this thread. |

Change. Change the way I see things because the world isn't a horrible and dangerous place and not all people are as bad as they seem. Changing how I feel about everything because things are going to get better and I just need to keep going!

Nothing about why I chose to see a therapist. But I do try some of her techniques on students and am often shocked at how the students respond positively to those techniques. They respond quite differently than I did when the woman tried them on me.

Great idea for a thread!
Mine has taught me that the voice that says I'm worthless is just that: a voice. It's not the truth. That my pain matters. That I am not invisible and I do not become invisible when I am upset. That it is possible for things to get better. That it's okay to think my parents sucked and I'm not just being ungrateful. |

Amazing answers everyone, thank you. I had been struggling lately feeling like therapy was productive, so I tried to sit back and see what exactly I had learned. It was hard to do, but made it more powerful to see the changes that have happened.

One word? Impossible. But I can do it in a sentence: That it is impossible to hate yourself when unconditional acceptance is in the room.

My ex-T taught me to say no to a very negative influence in my life...and I will always be grateful to him for that.
One of my Ts is currently trying to teach me how to breathe and slow down my mind...I am working on it.
