Abortion Recovery
Post-abortion Care
Are you still thinking about an abortion you had? Do you have questions, like, "Am I the only one who feels this way?" or "Is it normal to have doubts about my abortion?" If you’re struggling with negative thoughts and feelings related to a past abortion, you’re not alone.
Post-abortion trauma can affect both women and men. This is usually a result of ongoing emotions, thoughts, or even physical problems following an abortion. Symptoms of post-abortion trauma can include
Guilt/Shame
Grief/Loss
Anxiety/Depression
Anger
Substance Abuse
Changes in Relationships
Hopelessness
Low Self-Esteem/Self-Hatred
Sadness
Resentment
Every person has their own experience, which means that each individual is subject to a unique set of symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or simply just need someone to talk to, we are here for you. Schedule your free appointment to see one of our trained staff or volunteers and begin a process towards hope and healing.
Here are some resources to get you started.
