Her Heart Listens: Exploring the Counseling Experiences of Childhood Sexually Abused Victims
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
This qualitative single-case study explores the counseling experiences of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) victims from the Home for Girls XII, Department of Social Welfare and Development in Tantangan, South Cotabato, Philippines. The study aims to gain insights into how victims confront their past, navigate their journey toward healing with counseling, develop newfound perspectives and beliefs about themselves, and cultivate a desire to reconstruct their lives more positively. Additionally, the research investigates the influence of cultural and contextual factors on the counseling experiences of these victims. The study is guided by various theories that shed light on the consequences and effects of child sexual abuse, a severe problem that has gained prominence. The research seeks to address the existing gaps in the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the counseling experiences of CSA victims, including the long-term implications on their mental health, physical well-being, and overall quality of life. By examining the firsthand experiences of CSA victims, the researchers aim to contribute to developing more effective and tailored support systems for this vulnerable population. The findings of the study have the potential to guide the creation of evidence-based practices, policies, and interventions that offer the necessary support and facilitate healing for childhood sexual abuse victims.
