Perjalanan Psikologis Seorang Remaja dalam Menghadapi Trauma Perceraian Orang Tua di Desa Kretek

Abstract

This study aims to understand the psychological dynamics of adolescents experiencing parental divorce, focusing on its impact on emotional regulation, identity development, and the formation of self - acceptance. This research employed a qualitative method with a single-case study approach involving a female adolescent who experienced parental divorce during childhood. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that parental divorce significantly affects the subject’s emotional stability and identity formation. However, emotional support from the grandmother, a stable social environment, and religious activities served as protective factors that facilitated recovery. The subject also demonstrated indicators of self-acceptance and post-traumatic growth, including increased self-reflection, deeper spiritual understanding, and the ability to reconstruct the meaning of past experiences
