AFTER AN ABORTION

Abortion can have devastating effects on a woman of any age. We offer referrals for a safe, confidential environment to express and work through emotions associated with abortion loss. Hope, healing and freedom is available to you. Whether a woman's abortion took place recently, or several years ago, it's important to talk about your experience with people who will love and support you.

SYMPTOMS AFTER AN ABORTION

Depending on the severity of her symptoms, we can help her begin a journey of healing or refer her to a professional counselor for assistance. Some of the symptoms include:

​

• Psychological "numbing"

• Guilt and blame

• Depression

• Substance abuse

• Re-experiencing events related to the abortion

• Anxiety over fertility and childbearing issues

• Interruption or disruption of the bond with children

• Risky sexual practices

• Self-destructive behaviors or reactions
