Abstract
Individuals psychologically process their experiences while involved in dialogue in daily situations. In psychotherapeutic sessions, we can appreciate the ongoing process of constructing meaning when focusing on a microgenetic level during the exchange of child and therapist. We examine an excerpt from a therapeutic process with a sexually abused child from a socio-genetic perspective, with a focus on the display of semiotic fields, meaning growth and balancing tension and as a mean to deal with the painful consequences. Self-regulatory mechanisms are displayed in dialogical chains, providing insight into processing strategies to cope with a traumatic experience. Ambivalence and tension are essential to elaborate new meanings as well as a therapist willing to accompany the child.
