Abstract

ABSTRACT Human sex trafficking has gained greater awareness in recent decades. The literature surrounding sex trafficking has largely applied a model of supply and demand or model of sexual aggression to the issue; however, this understanding is limited. An application of Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) simultaneously reveals the deeply anti-relational aspects of this human rights abuse and counseling approaches that facilitate healing. An RCT approach, including working with authenticity, mutual empathy, empowerment, relational images, as well as connection and disconnection, can be engaged by counselors to culminate in relational experiences of “the five good things” for survivors of sex trafficking.
