When you’re
arrested, it’s hard to think about moving forward — especially when your crime
involves soliciting sex from a sex worker. Sex crimes carry a unique stigma
that can be difficult and painful to overcome. For that reason, many people
struggle to move on even after they’ve paid their dues. Here are some steps you
can take to confront that sense of shame and give yourself a better chance at
moving forward:
1. Attend therapy. Talking about your
experiences with a mental health professional can help you glean insight into
your motivations and fears. Many people report a sense of relief following
therapy sessions, during which they’re able to air their worries and get
concrete advice for improving their behaviors and outlooks.
2. Enroll in a diversion program.
Registering for a John
school diversion program may be required as part of your court-ordered
reparations. Even if you are not obligated to do so, registering can help you
understand the negative effects that sex work has on its workers, their
clients, and the communities in which they live.
3. Keep yourself busy. If you’re worried
about relapsing or find yourself fixating on your past, finding a new hobby can
help take your mind off your concerns. Join a local club, start learning a new
language, or pick up an old interest that you used to enjoy.
