While going through my trial and pre-sentencing, I furiously searched the web for answers to calm my anxieties, to give me peace of mind.
Time and again, where I landed was a 'consultants' webpage designed to prey on my fear and my worry.
With e-books and pricey retainers - all designed to make me feel like this was the liferaft I needed while feeling like I was drowning in the chaos of the justice system.
I didn't feel like I could trust anyone. And these scammy web pages just seemed to compound my sense of being surrounded by people I couldn't trust.
I'm not going to scare you into speaking with me. If, like me, you want someone to tell you what it might be like, reach out! All I wanted was a calming and trustworthy person whom I could speak to who'd been through already. I can share my journey and the journey of those I met along the way and everything I learned going headfirst into the system.
