I (27F) feel lost. Can you experience trauma from an abortion, even if you wanted it?

I heard something the other day that said "trauma isn't what happened to us, but what happens INSIDE of us"

You have definitely been through a lot and your feelings of being lost and uncertain make sense. Are you able to talk to a therapist even just for a couple sessions?

I see mine every two weeks and it has made a massive difference for my mental health.

Also - why not move?? It could be the perfect chance to start over fresh in a new place. You will still need to do some inner work to heal from your emotional tumult but you are young and it sounds like there is nothing really holding you to your current environment. A move could be a great thing for you
