Abortion Recovery: Finding Healing and Emotional Support
For many women and men, abortion can be a traumatic experience. Recovering from the emotional pain of an abortion is possible. The relief that may have initially been felt at the time of an abortion can be followed by feelings of anxiety, regret, anger, difficulty sleeping, grief, depression and withdrawal. The emotional side effects can be experienced whether you had an abortion last month or years ago. We are here to walk with you in the pain and the healing.
Understanding the Abortion Recovery Program
Abortion recovery is a program that offers a safe and confidential place for people living in shame and untold pain to be set free from carrying their secrets alone. Abortion recovery is approached compassionately to provide those who are carrying deep emotional burdens a place of love and healing. This is a Biblically-based abortion recovery program that invites post-abortive women to come and receive healing, unconditional love, and freedom. We invite you to find redemption and hope in the arms of Jesus Christ.
Structure and Materials
It’s a 9-week program done in a weekly small group format, both online or in-person. The course is derived from “Forgiven and Set Free” by Linda Cochrane. For English abortion recovery, we use the book “Forgiven and Set Free” along with a supplemental participant’s guide called “HEART” that was created by a woman in the U.S. who has generously given us the rights to use it. This program allows for a safe space to reflect and process and grieve alongside others who have had an abortion, using several beautiful, meditative and journaling practices. A box of all the resources and items needed for the group will be mailed to you.
