Caller testimonials
Since Exhale launched our after-abortion talkline in 2002, we have talked with thousands of women and men from throughout the United States. Here is what they had to say about their abortion experiences and about calling Exhale.
“I called Exhale after a visit to a clinic brought up unexpected feelings, eight years after my abortion. I just needed a place to cry and hear that my feelings were ok - and the counselor did just that. She didn't just tell me my feelings were normal; she showed me this by listening deeply, and with her respect.”
~ Carlota, 31, Oakland, CA
“I felt an immediate positive rush of energy after I called.”
~ Rose, 19, St. Louis, MO
“When I called Exhale, and explored the resources on the website, I finally felt that it was OK to feel what I was feeling! Exhale showed me how to be true to my own experience, as well as helping me feel understood, supported, and not alone. Calling Exhale truly changed my life!”
~ Maria, 27, Bakersfield, CA
“As a man, I wasn't sure if Exhale would take my call. They did. They really paid attention to what I had to say and provided me the information I needed to help my wife and I get through this experience together.”
~ Roberto, 25, Phoenix, AZ
“In such a short time the counselor helped me find the peace of mind and the strength to figure out how to get closure. I want to say without her I would not have been able to start healing. Thank you”
~ Patty, 33, New York City
“I can’t tell you how relieved I was to know there are other women that have experienced what I've felt. I no longer feel isolated and abnormal.”
~ Linda, 22, Atlanta, GA
