**Trigger warning: this episode talks graphically about abortion**
In this episode of She Is Seen, host Libby Tozer chats with Cara Baxmac about the taboo topic of abortion. It is by having conversations like this that we move the stigma and the shame associated with choosing it and also holding the complicated and conflicting emotions that come up after. 
 
In this episode you'll learn about:
- why the experience shook Cara up so much even though she has healing tools and techniques to fall back on
- what to do with the debilitating emotions like resentment and anger
- what the process was like mentally and physically for Cara start to finish
- how Cara utilised certain therapies to help her heal the trauma
- why providing a safe space full of compassion and warmth is important for women going through something similar... and so much more!
