Abstract
A four-phase group plan is presented to help survivors of childhood sexual abuse move beyond dissociative coping to more effective coping strategies. A group format provides the opportunity for survivors to receive feedback about the extent to which they dissociate, help in understanding what triggers them to dissociate, and the impact dissociation has on relationships. Group members also learn active coping strategies and have the opportunity to practice new behaviors within the safety of the group. Outcomes include increased self-acceptance, awareness, and self-control.
