I would consider any organically-sustained internal change "a change in circumstances" — e.g. fortunate people get a handful of "once in a lifetime"-level conversations after which they're somehow able to do things differently & a bit better than before; to me, this fits the bill
I think it's kinda interesting that we don't really have a strong communal concept for something like "reverse trauma," highly impactful compact positive experiences that have long-run ripple effects. I wish there were a very thick book of anecdotes for this type of thing
