This article discusses the telling of the personal stories of sexual abuse within the context of trauma-focused group therapy for early adolescent girls. It examines the general benefits of group therapy for early adolescents, and describes the trauma-focused structured group therapy model. It also includes a guided exercise that facilitates the telling of the stories by the girls, offers cues to the therapists about each girl's unique sexual abuse experience, and structures feedback from group members.
