Unresolved feelings of guilt, shame, and sadness may not surface until months, often years, after an abortion. We may lead outwardly normal lives, but these emotions can continue to cast a shadow, having a negative impact on personal relationships, coloring our moral or religious beliefs, even causing anxiety when we deal with a planned pregnancy. These feelings, if ignored, can possibly manifest themselves in more troubling ways, resulting in unstable relationships, self-destructive and addictive behaviors, depression, and low self-esteem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, two experienced psychotherapists share their approach to dealing with sensitive and long-overlooked issue of post-abortion pain or trauma. \u003ci\u003eThe Healing Choice\u003c\/i\u003e breaks the silence surrounding a topic often clouded by debate and focuses exclusively on helping women chart a path toward emotional recovery.
