Post Abortion Recovery Support

Past abortions can bring feelings of shame and loneliness for many, many years. However, emotional healing can take place, when we are allowed to talk about them freely and bring those feelings to the surface. We provide support both privately and as a group for women or men, suffering from these past hurts.

Have you ever wondered if you could benefit from Post-Abortion Recovery? It is common for women who had an abortion to have emotional pain that is repressed and not dealt with. In fact, a form of post traumatic stress disorder known as Post-Abortion Stress (PAS), is similar to the stress experienced by Vietnam Veterans after combat. Here are some common characteristics of "Post-Abortion Stress":

• Feelings of guilt or sense of loss
• Anxiety and inability to relax
• Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
• Trying to 'numb'emotional pain
• Depression or lack of confidence
• Low motivation and self esteem
• Flashbacks or nightmares about babies
• Difficulty with intimacy or bonding

If you or someone you know is experiencing feelings of loss or pain as the result of an abortion, please don't continue to deal with them alone. Pregnancy Counseling Center offers both private and group recovery sessions to help you come to peace with yourself and others. Give us a call at 575-9000 any time Monday through Thursday, so we can set up an appointment for you.
