Welcome to our post-abortion section.  The first thing we want you to know is that you are not the only woman suffering because of an abortion.  In fact, it means you are quite normal.  You can see in the section showing symptoms of post-abortion stress and through our post-abortion stress check that having an abortion can affect your life in many ways that you may not even expect. 

Since we started offering post-abortion counseling, we have had many Japanese women contact us.  They are all ages.  Some have recently had an abortion.  Some had one long ago.  Some women are quite depressed.  Some feel they are going crazy.  Some are just tired of carrying around an ache in their hearts.  

Some women just want someone to talk to.  If you just want to share your experience, we are ready to listen.  Especially, if your abortion was recent, this may be all you can do right now. 

Some women have come to the point where they are ready and willing to make the effort to get healing from this experience.  If you have the energy to go through our Step Study with us, that is what we would recommend.  It takes you through a process that helps you overcome your pain, as opposed to just pushing down your feelings temporaily. 

Whatever approach you choose now, we will be glad to walk with you as best we can.  Please call us if you can because we have found that women benefit more from a phone call than from e-mail correspondence.  If you live in the Nagoya area, please come to see us at our office.  That is even more effective.  But if you prefer e-mail, you can write us one using the form at the bottom of this page.

In the meantime, please remember that you CAN overcome this pain.  Healing is available and has been found by many women all over the world.  So, there is light at the end of the tunnel.  We look forward to hearing from you.
