Just speaking some of my thoughts out loud made me realize how illogical they were. Also, my therapist helped me explore some childhood experiences that explain how I am today and make some changes. I had what I thought was a charmed childhood (and for the most part it was), but there were some experiences I had forgotten about that shaped me.
It helped me break some unhealthy patterns I had in my interactions with others as well. My anxiety decreased and I stopped spiraling into dark thoughts when I was stressed.
I cannot recommend it enough!

Same.

I feel comfortable with myself, bc I understand myself better. Also having my therapist view my actions and behavior objectively helped, bc they were able to see patterns I was oblivious to.

It helped me understand a lot about what was missing in my life and childhood and gave me certain tools to cope with them. It help me recognize certain behaviors and patterns and put words on them and how to handle them.

Therapy is work, it’s not fun, but it tends to give you what you put in.

Helped me realize that I am not a bad person as people claim. Previous relationship ended badly ex of a few years said some things that cut deep, I could not focus for months, suicidal thoughts... therapy helped me find someone who would listen and guide me away from those thoughts.

It helped crystalize and process how my experiences shaped who I am, and gave me confidence in what I want in my life. She asked insightful questions that made me really think about what I wanted in life, who I am as a person, things to consider for the future.
