Thank you for coming this far in your journey to healing!

The life-changing decision that you made may have put you on an emotional roller-coaster. Maybe friends who supported your decision then are no longer close to you now. Maybe family or loved-ones are distant from you. Maybe you now feel a sense of loneliness and vulnerability. So maybe now you would like to understand the decision you made—a decision of perhaps a few weeks ago or, in many cases, of a few years ago—a decision that has triggered a psychological response known as Post-Abortion Stress (PAS).

Some of the common emotions you may be feeling include:

• Flashbacks of Abortion
• Relationship Challenges
• Alcohol and Drug Abuse
• Depression
• Suicide Thoughts
• Sexual Dysfunction
• Eating Disorders
• Strong Emotions
• Stress and Anxiety
• A Total Sense of Loss
