After Abortion From Secret Trauma to Healing Hope Inner Peace

Are you carrying a "box" of emotions that feels like it’s getting smaller and heavier every day? Whether it is the shadow of a past abortion, the echoes of an abusive relationship, or childhood wounds that refuse to stay buried, your body is keeping the score.In this episode, we explore the sacred link between your physical health and the emotions you’ve been told to "push aside." We dive deep into the investigative nature of healing—looking behind the mask of anger to find the hurt that needs a home.What you’ll learn in this episode:The Anatomy of Repression: Why your joints, gut, and heart are holding onto your past.The Anger Mask: How to identify what is actually sitting behind your "explosive" moments.A Gentle Tool for Release: A live walkthrough of a Tapping (EFT) sequence to move energy when you feel overwhelmed.The Power of Forgiveness: Why forgiving yourself and others is a mechanical necessity for physical freedom, not just a moral one.Connect with TerryFacebook:  www.facebook.com/TerryPershonInstagram:  www.instagram.com/Terrypershon Email:  [email protected] a 1:1appt. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=36165365

Have you ever felt like you were "muscling through" your healing? We’re told to visualize where we want to be, but for many of us walking the path of post-abortion healing or recovery from abusive relationships, the "mind’s eye" is a crowded place. It’s filled with old stories, safety boxes, and "shoulds" that keep us stuck.In this episode, I invite you to try a different way: seeing through your Heart’s Eye.We explore how our bodies hold the truth that our minds are often too afraid to face. From the way we react to the food we eat to the way we hold onto childhood patterns of abandonment, your heart knows the way home. I’m sharing my own "kiwi experiment" and a special card pull from the Rose Oracle to help you understand that nourishment, rest, and self-care aren't just luxuries—they are the foundation of your transformation.In this episode, we explore:Mind vs. Heart: Why your mind creates a "safety box" that actually keeps you small.The Physicality of Trauma: How suppressed memories settle in the digestive system and the heart.The Power of a "Pause": A simple practice to check in with your body before saying "yes" to something new.Individualized Healing: Why a "one size fits all" approach never works for a unique soul.Sacred Waters: A reflection on nourishment and replenishment for the weary heart.Ready to see yourself differently? Healing isn't about being "done"; it’s about expanding. If you are ready to stop muscling through and start heart-centered guidance, let's connect.Schedule a call to connect with me https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=36165365Facebook:  www.facebook.com/TerryPershonInstagram:  www.instagram.com/Terrypershon Email:  [email protected]

Have you ever found yourself looking for any reason—any "valid" excuse—to pull back just as you’re about to step into something new? Whether it’s a trip to see family or the quiet decision to finally begin healing your heart after an abortion or an abusive relationship, that sudden, screeching halt can feel so loud.In this episode, I’m sharing my own recent journey through a season of deep-seated fear. I talk about the "stories" our minds weave to keep us safe and why we sometimes prefer the heavy weight of the past over the unknown light of the future.We explore the physical way fear sits in our throats and our guts, and I share the gentle tools I used to navigate my way through it—proving to myself (and my nervous system) that I am safe, I am protected, and I am ready for the next layer.In this soft space, we discuss:The "Safe" Shadow: Why your mind tries to convince you that staying in the pain you know is safer than the healing you don't.Tending to the Roots: How to look at your fear with curiosity instead of judgment, unearthing what it’s actually trying to protect.The Courage to Lean In: My personal experience with traveling alone and how leaning into the "icky" feelings led to a beautiful reunion with my family.Validation from Within: Moving away from needing others to tell you you're okay, and finding that deep, unshakable trust in your own intuition.The Layered Journey: Why your body "brings back" old memories not to hurt you, but because it finally feels secure enough to let that layer go for good.Healing isn't a one-and-done event; it’s a beautiful, unfolding process of coming home to yourself. If fear has been keeping you small, I invite you to listen and see if you’re ready to rewrite the ending of your story.Connect with your Guide: I am here to walk alongside you, offering a space of zero judgment and total love. Every heart is unique, and every path to restoration is personal. If you’re ready to see what’s possible on the other side of your fear, let’s have a quiet chat.Facebook:  www.facebook.com/TerryPershonInstagram:  www.instagram.com/Terrypershon Email:  [email protected]. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=36165365

Episode Description: Have you ever felt a sudden weight of pressure or anxiety, even when you thought you’d already done "the work"? In this episode, I’m wearing my favorite cozy pearl sweater and sharing a very personal look at my own recent struggle with the "last grip of control."As an emotional guide and fellow traveler on the healing path, I’m opening up about the physical toll that "trying to manage it all" takes on our bodies—from tight throats to restless hearts. We explore the beautiful metaphor of the "Winter of the Soul" and why a return of heaviness isn't a sign of failure, but a gentle signal from your body that you are finally stable enough to heal the next layer.In this heartfelt conversation, we explore:The Body’s Language: How physical symptoms like headaches or digestive tension are often whispers of unreleased pressure.The Safety of the "Winter": Shifting our perspective on heavy seasons from "stuckness" to "sacred hibernation."A Letter to the Divine: The power of "crawling into the lap" of Source and letting go of the outcomes we cannot control.Practical Tools for the Journey: How I use journaling, verbal processing, and tapping (EFT) to move through my own emotional waves.Connect with Terry:Schedule appt: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=36165365Email: [email protected]:  www.facebook.com/TerryPershonInstagram:  www.instagram.com/Terrypershon 

In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked stage of the healing journey: Integration. When we are recovering from abortion-related trauma, abusive relationships, or childhood wounds, our "Investigator" mind (the Line 1 energy) often wants to rush to the next fix. But true restoration happens in the space between the layers.Terry Pershon shares her personal preparation for a family trip as a 2/4 Emotional Projector, exploring how to see people—and ourselves—not as their past "personalities," but as the souls behind the mission.Key Takeaways:The Integration Gap: Why rushing to the "next thing" can actually stall your healing.Soul vs. Personality: A transformative tool for navigating difficult family dynamics.EFT for Immediate Relief: A simple tapping technique for releasing the "not enough" story and forgiving ancestral patterns.The Projector Path: How waiting for the invitation changes how you show up in the world.Facebook:  www.facebook.com/TerryPershonInstagram:  www.instagram.com/Terrypershon Email:  [email protected] a discovery call: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=36165365

Episode SummaryIn this deeply personal episode, Terry explores the interconnected web of childhood trauma, abusive relationships, and the life-altering experience of abortion. She shares her own journey of moving from a state of self-abandonment and "external validation" to a place of peace, internal authority, and radical self-love. If you have ever felt trapped by the stories your mind tells you—that you aren't worthy or lovable—this episode is an invitation to be still, listen to your heart, and begin the walk toward the "other side" of your pain.Key TakeawaysThe Ripple Effect of Trauma: How childhood loss and disrupted bonding can create a pattern of seeking love in abusive or misaligned relationships.The "Two People" Phenomenon: Reflecting on how the experience of abortion changes a person fundamentally and the importance of acknowledging that shift.Mind vs. Heart: Understanding that the mind tells stories rooted in fear and status quo, while the heart and gut hold your actual truth.The Power of Stillness: Why we must stop the "struggle" to escape our pain and instead choose to be still to hear what our intuition is saying.Invitation-Based Healing: A reminder that healing cannot be pushed or rushed; it happens in layers and requires curiosity rather than force.Notable Quotes"I would never have had that abortion had I known what I know now... if I could wave a wand, I would want to show you what is on the other side.""We hold ourselves in a place of almost like bondage... You're in the middle of this fist. I was in the middle of that fist. But there came a point where I had to be still.""Fear is a story my mind is telling me. The mind wants things to stay as they are... but can you allow yourself to be curious about what’s on the other side?"Connect with TerryAre you ready to explore the foundational steps of your healing path?
