Abstract

The present study relies on the voices of survivors of past abuse to describe the amount, type, and impact of costs related to their experience of intimate partner violence (IPV). We use a content analysis methodology to present common themes that survivors face regarding financial recovery from past IPV. Costs are conceptualized within the Triumph Process Model of Overcoming IPV with an emphasis on "embracing freedom and power" and "emotional and physical healing" dimensions. Implications for recovering from IPV and service provision are discussed.
