What's The Best Advice Your Therapist Ever Gave You?

Come spread the wisdom.

If you have a good relationship with your therapist, you're probably learning new things every time you meet with them.

But every once in a while they hit you with something that really sticks — a piece of advice, a spot-on metaphor, something that you've found yourself returning to again and again.

Maybe it was a simple but genius coping mechanism you've used ever since.

Or maybe they helped you discover the importance of celebrating little victories.

Or maybe they gave you a speech that blew your mind.

Or maybe they've given you actually helpful alternatives to hurting yourself.
