When Feelings Surface Without Warning

Sometimes a strong feeling shows up without warning. You might feel the sudden urge to shut down, pull away, or retreat into yourself without fully understanding why. A familiar place, a certain date, or something someone says can stir up more than you expected. Many people describe this as being triggered.

If that feels familiar, you are not alone. Whether your abortion was recent or happened years ago, emotions can resurface in ways that catch you off guard.

In the next part, you will have space to reflect on one of those moments. You can take it slowly. Just notice what rises.
