520 _aThis article presents findings and discussions about recovered memories of sexual abuse. The data informing this article comes from 4 female Pakeha participants, who all had corroborative evidence of the abuse. The methodology was exploratory and qualitative, and employed a semi-structured interview process. Discussions were held around the participants' experiences of first remembering repressed sexual abuse and the consequential effects of this. Consideration is given to participants' experiences with counsellors, and their comments on the qualities and attributes of therapists' practice are explored. Limitations of the findings, especially with regards to the small sample size, are acknowledged. The findings of this study indicate that participants had both empowering and disempowering experiences with therapists. There was a general agreement over some preferred therapy aspects, and participants suggested characteristics and qualities of therapy they found desirable.
