Description: Overview 43% of women have experienced an abortion. These are your sisters, mothers, wives and friends. They carry an incredible burden while wearing a smile on their face. Many struggle for years with repressed memories, guilt, shame and depression. Most women feel they are not allowed to talk about their abortion experience because it was their “choice.” The fact is many women who have had an abortion also experience symptoms of post-abortion trauma. They may not realize that these symptoms are directly related to their past abortion. Often the medical community overlooks abortion as a risk factor in a woman’s physical and emotional health. If you feel you have never recovered from your abortion experience, or that it may be affecting your current quality of life, then Surrendering the Secret offers a safe place to talk with other women who feel the same things you do, and learn how to heal from women who have already made the journey toward healing. Surrendering the Secret is a course designed to bring women together who share abortion in their past. Abortion is not a secret anymore; it is freely discussed in our society. Despite this new openness, many women have pain and experiences that they don’t feel comfortable telling anyone. Millions of women have held this secret inside, and many are suffering severe consequences. Surrendering the Secret simply allows women who need help to connect with women who can help. If you don’t think you need healing from your own abortion experience, then Surrendering the Secret is your place to offer help and encouragement to someone who does. You may even be a concerned mother, sister, or friend. Surrendering the Secret is about connections...you don’t have to be alone. Our mission is to provide a supportive and confidential environment that facilitates healing and restoration, bringing a sense of hope and purpose for the future. If you have abortion in your past, then join us in Surrendering the Secret.
