5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effects of two body therapy approaches in women who have experienced child sexual abuse.
Detailed Description
Women who have experienced child sexual abuse often display symptoms of dissociation and lack of bodily self-awareness which hinder the recovery process. Mind-body researchers have examined alternative therapeutic approaches to eliminating these factors. This study will compare a standardized therapeutic message to body-oriented therapy which involves a combination of hands-on bodywork and verbal therapy focused on somatic and emotional awareness.
