After-Abortion Care

ZoeCareprovides after-abortion care in Yankton, South Dakota.

Abortion can often trigger a high-stress reaction. It is not uncommon to experience symptoms of post-abortion grief and trauma. These emotions may surface days, months, or even years after the initial experience, and they can lead to significant emotional distress. Whether you are currently contemplating abortion or have already undergone the procedure, we warmly invite you to participate in our after-abortion care program.

Begin Healing

Understanding the profound impact of your loss is the first significant step on the path to abortion recovery. We are here to extend an invitation for you to embark on a healing journey—a journey where you can begin to process your emotional pain, find restoration, embrace hope, and ultimately, discover inner peace.

Abortion PTSD also referred to as Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS) refers to the lingering emotional and physical pain after an abortion, manifesting as grief, anger, shame, guilt, and other symptoms. Similar to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), individuals may experience heightened depression or anxiety around anniversaries of the abortion or the proposed birth date. Unfortunately, medical and mental health professionals may not always recognize the condition, making it challenging for those affected to feel heard or understood.

SYMPTOMS OF ABORTION TRAUMA:

• Do you find yourself avoiding discussions about abortion?
• Is the mere mention of the word ‘abortion’ accompanied by feelings of shame, grief, or guilt?
• Do lingering emotions of anger or resentment surface towards those who may have been involved in your abortion?
• Have you noticed that you tend to avoid forming deep relationships or exhibit co-dependent behavior since the abortion?
• Do you ever doubt your own worthiness of love and happiness?
• Do you become overprotective of your children?
• Have you turned to substances like drugs or alcohol as a means of escape?
• Do you struggle with an eating disorder or engage in self-harming behaviors?
• Are your fears often unrealistic or overwhelming?
• Do you feel a lingering sense of emptiness or an enduring feeling of loss?
• Do periods of depression occasionally cloud your days?
