dc.description.abstractCurrent discourses in the area of sexualized abuse convey understandings of women who experienced childhood sexualized abuse (CSA) as being damaged or disturbed. Presently, there is a focus on how individuals are affected by CSA, rather than on how they have responded to it. This research was a collaborative inquiry into response- and resource-based approaches taken by women in overcoming CSA. The objective was to develop shared understandings of the personal and therapeutic practices participants described as helpful in overcoming CSA. Eight adult females who have experienced CSA, participated in six group sessions. Data was analyzed using the mapping procedures of situational analysis. Key practices identified by participants as helpful were: taking action, honouring individual needs and journey, focusing on the positive, a response-based approach, and a group process. This study encourages research and counselling communities to explore how consequences from CSA can be addressed and overcome through resourceful responses.
