Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I ran across an interesting blog today by a therapist who is post abortive.

I actually get the feeling she is pro choice, (although she does not say one way or another), but aware, through her own experience that abortion , as she says "is the gift that keeps on giving". She calls her experience VPT or Voluntary Pregnancy Termination.

I wonder how "voluntary" her abortion really was or if she realizes how many are not really voluntary at all but coerced.  I admire her greatly for her honesty and her willingness to share her struggles and pain.

Having had an abortion in college, she recognizes that triggers (or as I call then "connectors" are ever present in her life, one being the birth of her grandchild.

"I compartmentalized my voluntary pregnancy termination so many years
ago while in college. Now as I was holding this wee little bundle of a
grandchild I was hit with emotion I didn’t know how to handle.

Working
with women who reach a new level of reality concerning the deep dark
secret of their abortion choice, I never cease to be amazed at how the
birth of that first grandchild can be an incredible trigger."

I obviously do not know anything much about this woman or the book she plugs, CPR, "Choice Processing and Resolution" , but I may get it and see what they are all about. It is a "self help" book..hopefully not blaming the feelings on anything but abortion. Anyway, I plan on checking this out every once in a while to see ho w she is doing..no matter what her believes, we certainly can relate to her honesty and feeling.…http://www.choicepr.blogspot.com/
