This study was conducted to shed light on the effects of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) on adult female survivors and to research survivor resiliency with the integration of alternative and traditional healing methods. The study employed a mixed-methods approach including the use of questionnaires, a qualitative interview, art creation, and review of relevant literature to examine the phenomena. Narrative-style interviews gathered stories of abuse and recovery for 10 female CSA survivors to enhance understanding of regaining resiliency with conventional psychotherapy and pharmacology integrated with spiritual practices and alternative therapies. The creation of artwork reflected what wellness might look like to each participant. Three questionnaires: a nonstandardized psychological and medical history, the Hardiness Scale and the Purpose in Life Test were employed. Content analysis was employed to gather code families for the qualitative data, the Hardiness Scale and Purpose in Life Test provided statistical confirmation of participants' self-reported level of resiliency and degree of integration of meaning in life. Results are provided in narrative format with artwork displayed and in thematic-conceptual matrix tables consistent with conclusions from the literature review, including that early onset of sexual abuse is associated with an increased propensity to disassociate, leading to problems across all areas of life. Research into efficacy of integrative therapies with this population remains limited. In response to the question of what traditional and integrative strategies were helpful to integration of abuse history, all participants had experienced a variety of integrative healing techniques and endorsed some form of mindfulness practice and somatic therapies as being the most helpful among integrative therapies in eliminating unconscious triggered responses that resulted from abuse. Participants identified specific attributes of resiliency they regained despite early childhood trauma with a combination of treatment modalities and 80% rated their high level of integration through identification with purpose in life that is associated with service. Continued research into incorporation of integrative healing practices, mindfulness training, and creative practices in treatment for the long-term effects of CSA appears warranted.
