Abortion Trauma Symptoms

Abortion Trauma

These symptoms will not necessarily appear at the same time, nor is it likely that an individual will experience the entire list. Some may occur immediately after an abortion and others much later. If you can identify with more than two of these symptoms, it could be that you are experiencing the after-effects of abortion.

Take your first step towards healing.
