RECOVERING FROM AN ABORTION

Recovering from an abortion can be very difficult, we are here to help you!

Some women feel relief immediately after an abortion and some women experience strong negative emotions afterwards.

Sometimes this occurs within days and sometimes it happens after many years.

This psychological response is known as Post-Abortion Stress.

Factors that impact the likelihood of Post-Abortion Stress can include:

• your age at the time of the abortion
• the circumstances surrounding the abortion
• the stage of pregnancy at which the abortion occurs
• your personal convictions and / or religious beliefs

Symptoms of Post-Abortion Stress can include:

• Guilt / Anger
• Anxiety / Depression
• Suicidal thoughts
• Grief, especially around the anniversary of the abortion
• Flashbacks of the abortion
• Sexual dysfunction
• Relationship problems
• Eating disorders
• Alcohol and drug abuse
• Other psychological reactions

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and would like to explore the possibility of either meeting in a group with other women who have expressed the same need, or meeting individually with a trained staff member, Clearway Clinic can help. And all of our services are free to you.

At Clearway, you will find unconditional acceptance. You are not alone. Please call or inquire online today!
