On November 28, 2025, a training meeting “Trauma, Behavior and the Path to Success: Tools for Self-Recovery” was held in a mixed format, which was conducted by the Ukrainian language teacher of Mykolaiv Lyceum 2, Chernikova Natalia Vasylivna, senior teacher, within the framework of the EU project Erasmus+101082696-PROMENT “Promoting Professional Education and Active Participation of Students through the Formation of a Comprehensive System of Mentoring and Tutoring in Higher Education Institutions”.

At the beginning of the meeting, Halyna Serhiivna Kosareva, program coordinator, made an introductory speech, emphasizing the relevance of such an event in conditions of social tension and the need for a deep understanding of the mechanisms of childhood trauma for effective therapeutic work.

During the supervision, the participants discussed how understanding the nature of childhood trauma (in particular, attachment trauma, shock trauma) affects the formation of an adult personality and self-regulation skills. The mentees also actively participated in practical exercises aimed at deepening clinical understanding and practicing therapeutic techniques: “Body-Emotion-Thought” (identification of traces of trauma); “Resource Bridge” (stabilization techniques); “Five Stages of Grief/Acceptance” (analysis of experiencing loss); “Map of a Safe Place” (creation of internal support). Cases from the participants’ practice, as well as an analysis of the three-phase model of trauma therapy (“Stabilization – Processing – Integration”), helped to develop skills in working with regression and dissociation, which are frequent manifestations of trauma.
During the training, the mentor also used the exercises “Speak and Hear”, “Filling the Life Jug”, and “14 Rules of Success (Conviction)”.

It should be noted that during the event, the mentor and mentee created a safe and supportive atmosphere that facilitated productive and open supervisory interaction. Participants openly provided feedback and felt involved in the process of deep professional exchange.

This partnership process of sharing ideas and clinical knowledge contributed to achieving the goals: increasing the mentees’ therapeutic competence, deepening their understanding of the trauma-focused approach, and strengthening professional resilience.
