Perhaps you found a way to effectively communicate with a social worker or your ex-partner. Maybe you discovered coping mechanisms to help turn tense moment into something manageable? Or uncovered coping strategies that helped you weather the storm of stress and anxiety. Maybe you triumphed over a tough hearing, discovering resources that became a lifeline. Even reflecting on what you would do differently can be a powerful lesson for someone just starting their journey.
