Paradigm Shift for Post Abortion Recovery
Formational Restoration Groups are an innovative and permanent model for change for those suffering from a past abortion. While all the post-abortion recovery programs are very important and their importance should never be discounted and in no way should they stop doing their awesome work, this new model of change will apply to anyone needing post abortion recovery. Even for those who have gone through groups, many times there are still some residual effects that each person continues to deal with.
The formational concept of post abortion recovery implements two dynamics. First of all, the professional concepts used are the brief intensive therapy model where a client works every day for a few hours during a set timeframe thereby making more progress than some recovery programs that meet a few hours a week for several weeks.
Additionally in the formational restoration model, the therapist also incorporates several experiential exercises to bring a deeper level of healing. Dysfunctions and emotional upheaval from a past abortion are tackled from a professional platform. One personality test is administered, the Taylor Johnson Assessment. This test is a very effective tool to measure nine different aspects of ones personality to see how the trauma has affected the way a person relates in life.
Present Post Abortion Recovery Programs Left-brained/ Cognitive |
Formational Restoration Concept Right-brained/Experiential |
| Presents biblical Truth to change thinking and behaviors. No real answers for forgiveness issues except "what the Bible says." Walk away questioning "whether I’m really forgiven." Healing process is a superficial, cognitive event. |
Experiencing Jesus in the event brings permanent healing and peace about forgiveness. Forgiveness not questioned. |
| Dysfunctions and lies never addressed. | Dysfunctional behaviors examined and put to rest through experiential exercises. |
| Anger only emotional upheaval addressed and that in the context of “I must forgive because the Bible tells me so.” | Grieving: Understanding "God’s pain" over the abortion: The gift of life from God’s perspective. "I created this unique individual to have a lifelong relationship with others.") Grieving the loss of the relationship of the person that God created for His plans and purposes. A deeper level of pain that needs to be grieved for greater freedom and release of sense of sadness and loss. |
| Spirit of condemnation still drives all behaviors, thoughts and emotions. “Smoldering layers” underneath a false sense of healing resulting in many defensive, angry and territorial ministry workers. |
True freedom! I know that I know that I am healed! |
