The Unspoken Truth About Abortion and Emotional Healing

We live in a world that demands emotional clarity.
Make a choice—feel good about it.
Or don’t make it—feel bad.
Simple, right?

But when it comes to abortion, nothing is ever that simple.
As a trauma-informed practitioner who has supported post-abortive women for years, I’ve seen the emotional landscape that often follows this decision—and it’s rarely black and white.

Many of the women I work with say things like:

• “I knew it was the right choice. But I still cry sometimes.”

• “I feel relief… but also this deep sadness I can’t explain.”

• “I don’t regret it. But I still feel like something is missing.”

And I always respond the same way:
Two things can be true at once.
You can love your life and grieve.
You can feel peace and carry sadness.
You can know you made the best decision and still need space to process what was lost.

This isn’t about politics.
It’s about humanity.
It’s about nervous systems and soul wounds, relationships and identity, the complexity of being a woman in a society that often denies us the right to grieve our own lived experiences.

If you’re reading this and feel something stir in your chest, I want you to know:

You don’t have to carry this alone.

That’s why I created Beyond the Choice—a 6-week guided journey (live or self-paced) for post-abortive women ready to feel whole again. In this space, there’s no judgment. No shame. Just deep healing, witnessing, and support.

Because you deserve to feel at peace in your body.
You deserve to come back to yourself.
And you deserve to heal.
