Abstract

Survivors of sexual trauma often have unresolved attachment status, characterized by fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, and challenges establishing and maintaining close relationships (Bailey, Moran, & Pederson, 2007). Further, adolescents who experience sexual relations that are not grounded in a strong relationship experience increased vulnerability to depression and low self-esteem. This poster presentation will address the topic of attachment, sexual self-esteem, and life satisfaction for survivors of sexual trauma.
