Narrative examples of PTC.

Positive PTC
General	“I guess that now I use it more as a tool to allow me to relate to other people. So that they can feel more comfortable with me and um possibly open up more about those situations, to help them feel supported.” (3) “I’m very open with myself and I’m very open with, um, sexuality, so like, I’m not homophobic that doesn’t bother me and I can comment on another girl’s saying that she’s gorgeous, she’s got a nice body.” (1)
Parenting- specific	“I can approach him differently than more [sic] parents would. You know, most parents would yell, scream. . .but since I’ve been there, that’s the last thing you want to do.” (3) “I think it’s taught me how to have an open relationship and want an open relationship with my child.” (3).
Negative PTC
General	“I get, I am so angry now. Like I don’t know what it’s like I just I guess I have like a major anger issue or something.” (3) “Like our relationship between me and him, it’s affected because I don’t really, tell him everything.” (2)
Parenting- specific	“Umm getting angry and frustrated with my son, and not really having - I don’t really have my own coping mechanism so it’s really hard to teach him, um, self-control or self-soothing and things like that because I just have never really learned it myself.” (3) “Just being protective over her. . . I don’t know. Maybe when she gets older I might be too overprotective.” (1)
