Deeper Still

Charlie had an abortion in his past that he kept secret from his wife. At first, he suppressed it and also became full of rage and shame. Even years of therapy did not help him connect the dots from his abortion history to his emotional and marriage problems. When he finally told his wife, he began to heal and eventually attended a Deeper Still Retreat, where he went through a deep healing.

Charlie grew up very self-protective and felt like he was raising himself. He never felt like he had any guidance and saw coping through drinking. So, as he grew into adulthood, he followed that pattern of drinking and looking down on women. When his girlfriend got pregnant, there was only one thing he wanted her to do- get an abortion.

Dawn's life escalated into two bad marriages, an eating disorder, substance abuse, and a mental block after her abortion. Through her sponsor, she found Jesus, and her life began to get better, but she didn't process her past abortion fully till she attended her Deeper Still retreat.

Dawn grew up feeling unwanted. After being abused by her brother, she acted out sexually and got pregnant. She hid the pregnancy from her parents till she was five months pregnant with the intent of getting emancipated. However, her parents took her out of state to a late-term abortion clinic, and she was forced to abort her baby. This set her life into a downward spiral.
