The aim of the research was to describe change process of a mother, in the context of accompanying her children to psychotherapy for sexual abuse. The study adopted a qualitative methodology; the type of study is a case study. The information was collected through in-depth interviews that were carried out with a mother at different moments of the intervention and 14 months after the end of it, being analysed later through thematic narrative analysis. The results show the different moments in the evolution of therapeutic change, as well as the facilitators and hinderers factors identified by the participant. It is highlighted that change is lived as a joint experience involving the participant and her children. The importance of interventions that support and include the parental figures in psychotherapy of their children is discussed, understanding that they are indirect victims, that the changes occur while they accompany their children to psychotherapy and their fundamental role in the process of children and adolescents.
