Identities used to describe oneself after trauma may influence recovery, and searches for acceptable identities after sexual assault can be challenging. Fifteen Norwegian female survivors of sexual assault were recruited at a clinical center, and were individually interviewed about post-assault discussions with others. Our focus was on the experiences of non-blaming and believing interactions with others, and how these interactions can be understood as a process of searching for acceptable identities after sexual assault. A reflexive thematic analysis resulted in four themes: ; ; ; and . We discuss the importance of participants retaining agency in post-assault interactions. We suggest that being a survivor of sexual assault increases the probability, even in believing and non-blaming interactions, of being cast in a subject-object relationship with less freedom and agency than before. Navigating toward acceptable identities may mean working one's way back to being a subject in a subject-subject relationship again.
创伤后用于描述自己的身份认同可能会影响恢复，而在遭受性侵犯后寻找可接受的身份认同可能具有挑战性。在一个临床中心招募了15名挪威女性性侵犯幸存者，并就她们遭受袭击后与他人的讨论进行了单独访谈。我们关注的是与他人进行无指责和信任互动的经历，以及如何将这些互动理解为遭受性侵犯后寻找可接受身份认同的过程。反思性主题分析产生了四个主题： ； ； ；以及 。我们讨论了参与者在袭击后互动中保持能动性的重要性。我们认为，即使在信任和无指责的互动中，成为性侵犯幸存者也会增加陷入主客体关系的可能性，且与之前相比自由和能动性更低。朝着可接受的身份认同前进可能意味着再次努力回到主体间关系中的主体状态。
