Deep Dark Secret

“An abortion usually becomes "the deep dark secret" that imprints upon the psyche like a photograph frozen in time, with all associated feelings related to that event. The memory of the secret trauma may go deep into "repressed mode," but the psyche has not lost track of the painful experience. An emotional eruption can occur like a volcano anywhere at time, and often in issues unrelated to a past abortion experience, or so it seems. Unless an abortion is faced head-on and related issues dealt with, there is a much greater chance for current and future relational failure and a diminished quality of life.” - Jim Benefield, MA, MFCC, MPC
