“God Makes a Difference” – A Metaphor of Hope for Survivors of Sexual Trauma
In this study, Dr Barbara Louw sought to create an inclusive, culturally sensitive healing framework that would help survivors transition from victimhood to empowered individuals, embracing life beyond their trauma. Drawing upon insights from Practical Theology, Theological Ethics, Victimology, Traumatology, and Narrative Therapy, the research developed a pastoral counselling model anchored in the concept of “God Makes a Difference” as a metaphor of hope.
