POST-ABORTION COUNSELING & SUPPORT

One in four women have had an abortion. If that includes you and you find yourself wrestling with your emotions, Corbella Clinic can help. 

Abortion is an emotional decision that can lead to a range of feelings, from relief to grief. What’s important to know is that there isn’t a right or wrong way to feel after having an abortion. 

If you discover that your life has been impacted significantly by abortion, you may wonder if you’ll ever feel normal again. You might regret a decision you made years ago, struggle emotionally as you try to get pregnant again or realize you were coerced into having an abortion you didn’t want. You may be experiencing post-abortion stress. 

Symptoms of post-abortion stress may include:

• Anger or rage
• Anxiety or panic attacks
• “Atonement pregnancy” to replace the lost one
• Crying frequently
• Depression
• Drug and alcohol abuse
• Eating disorders
• Emotional numbness
• Flashbacks
• Guilt
• Hopelessness
• Inability to forgive yourself 
• Intense grief/sadness
• Low self-esteem
• Mood swings
• Nightmares and sleep disturbances
• Relationship difficulties 
• Sexual problems or promiscuity
• Suicidal thoughts/behaviors

Although these symptoms are challenging, know that post-abortion healing is possible for every woman. If you feel that you would benefit from post-abortion healing, we offer referrals to trusted programs that help women work through the emotional challenges of abortion and begin to thrive again. Methods of healing could include professional one-on-one post-abortion counseling, small groups with other women, and healing retreats.  

If you want to begin post-abortion healing but do not feel ready to talk about your experience, we can provide you with the names of books and links to websites that you can explore on your own.
