This presentation will explore the foundations of healing, both as observed and nurtured, in the context of accompaniment of survivor-victims. Original grace and its reclaiming will be proposed as a framework for healing within which a survivor can envision and expand their efforts to heal from the trauma of sexual abuse in all its forms, including clergy perpetrated sexual abuse.
