dc.description.abstractIn this capstone project I discuss the therapeutic, social, and community supports that can foster resilience and posttraumatic growth in women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). I also examine our understanding and use of the concept of resilience, and considers how assumptions about IPV recovery may be contributing to inaccurate assessments or construal of resilience, strength, and fragility. Finally, I suggest ways to remove the individual emotional and psychological burden of resilience and PTG from women who experience IPV by proposing a social justice grounded holistic treatment approach that includes narrative, compassion-focused, and somatic therapies, combined with group therapy, Polyvagal theory, and social connection.
