Abstract

Objectives This study presents an in-depth description of the growth and development process of the researcher who experienced traumatic child abuse by an alcohol-abusing primary caregiver through career exploration and healing and recovery by becoming a late learner in the counseling psychology major from an emic perspective.
 Methods To this end, an autobiographical cultural technology magazine was applied to conduct a qualitative research method to talk about life experiences such as child abuse that the researcher himself experienced, The researcher's individual experience was explained by approaching psychotherapy based on developmental psychology and counseling psychology.
 Results The results of the study are as follows. First, the researcher was traumatized by child abuse from an alcohol-abusing primary caregiver; second, the formation of an unstable attachment with the primary caregiver, which was unsafe and unprotected, had a negative effect on the researcher's life from childhood to adulthood; third, in a situation where the researcher could not expose his trauma due to blood relationship with the primary caregiver, it became a long-term trauma; and fourth, emotion regulation and psychotherapeutic approaches were necessary through awareness and discernment of the adult survivor of the child abuse to achieve growth and recovery after the hardship.
 Conclusions Understanding the nature of child abuse trauma through auto-ethnography gives insight into the long-term effects of child abuse and the growth and recovery process after the hardship of the late learner majoring in counseling psychology and provides therapeutic intervention methods to traumatized adult survivors and their families.
