Restoring Resilience, Post Abortion Support: A Beginning

Engage and Honor Your Abortion Experiences

The fundamental reason for engaging and honoring your abortion experiences is to give context and healing to them. This guide will help you to engage your deepest truths and honor your journey. I share my journey in this workbook, so that you can how these practices have evolved from direct experience.

• Firstly, the practices in this workbook guide you through orienting to where you are now, within;
• They provide a framework for building trust within yourself, and with others;
• You will learn to recognize resources you already have in place, and it will help you to nurture and develop others, so that you will be able to navigate choppy waters with more grace;
• You will learn to cultivate your inner life with specific tools, so that you are able to nurture and trust your own soul-centered guidance.

The practices form a web of support providing an important foundation for regaining resilience and nurturing empowerment.

Reclaiming Your Story

It's work. It takes courage. And no one can do it alone.

When we explore experiences that have deeply affected us, we need to have many types of resources that support us. At a very basic level, it must be asked: Do you have enough time, energy and material support to undertake this journey at this time? If so, then it is time. If not, then best to wait until you have more to call upon.

Courage is required to explore and engage your story within sometimes hostile cultures. It takes courage to stand in your Truth and not be made to feel ashamed. And since we are challenging centuries old oppressive beliefs, it is impossible to do alone.

Your efforts, courage and talents are needed. They will heal and empower you, and will heal your lineage; your ancestors, and your descendants. Your journey will support the transformation of oppressive cultures into more loving ones.
