Abstract

Interpersonal trauma (IPT) is characterized as a traumatic event that is inflicted by another individual or group of individuals that is either known or unknown to the survivor (Lilly & Valdeaz, 2012) and may include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, emotional neglect, threat of harm, and/or bullying. This research study sought to further understand how second generation Korean Americans engage in meaning-making after experiencing IPT by utilizing a social constructivist epistemological lens and an integrated AsianCrit and Relational Cultural Theory framework. Data analysis was guided by an interpretive phenomenological methodology to better understand meaning-making experiences and perceptions of second generation Korean Americans post-trauma. Conclusions hold implications for clinicians, educators, and researchers.
