Clinical social worker Gret Machlan described the effects of abortion on mental health.
Abigail Lorenzen sits down with Gret, a seasoned clinical social worker and team member of Deeper Still Northern Indiana. Gret shares her powerful personal journey and professional insights into how post-abortive experiences manifest over time, why they’re often overlooked in therapeutic settings, and how true healing can begin. This episode dives deep into how abortion impacts both women and men, why silence keeps people stuck, and how faith-based recovery retreats like Deeper Still offer hope and restoration.
Whether you’ve experienced abortion firsthand, love someone who has, or want to better understand the emotional layers of this issue, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and a path forward.
