Abortion Sanctuary Angela B Ferri

Are you feeling disoriented, vulnerable and isolated after an abortion? I was after I had mine, and I didn't even know it was a common way to feel after the experience. Since it wasn't ok to talk about with members of my family, and even scary to talk about with friends, I became depressed and felt frozen for a long time. Through many years of inner work I have developed ways to become empowered and resilient again in my life. Over the years I have seen the need for more support through the experience of supporting many women in my practice who had had similar expriences. This workbook was developed as a tool to help women heal from the often overwhelming and confusing feelings that arise after having an abortion. My intention in creating this workbook has been to have a non-religious, non-political and non-judgemental orientation. I hope I have succeeded. Please let me know how I've done. Abortion Sanctuary's 3 Practices e-workbook supports women who have had abortions engage practices that nurture resiliency. The practices offered here help you to settle your nervous system. They will show you how to orient in potentially overwhelming situations so that you will be able to focus on the way forward. They will help you name no-win situations while engaging appropriate layers of support. They are intimately personal, and will help you beneficially shift how you are able to meet the world. The intention is to guide you to develop an appreciation for the benefits of being loving, mindful and nurturing to yourself around the transformational experience(s) of abortion. While some of the practices seem simple upon first glance, over time they will have a profound influence on improving the quality of your experiences. 50 pages.
