IT’S TIME TO COME OUT OF HIDING.

You deserve to live a happy life, and it’s possible to take back control.

Let me show you how.

  DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

IT FEELS LIKE YOU’LL NEVER GET BACK TO NORMAL.

  • You feel like this event has become your identity. 

  • You can’t stop thinking about it, dwelling on the past, and thinking about what you should have or could have done to stop it from happening.

  • You can’t stop talking about it—you feel like you have to get out in front of it and excuse or explain it away before others find out. 

  • Every time you think you’re past it, something pops up and drags you back to a dark and hopeless place.

  • There’s an overwhelming feeling that your life has become a Pandora’s box – the chaos has been let out and will never be contained.

  • You feel like you’ve completely lost control of your life, your relationships, and worst of all, your future.

  • You constantly mourn your lost potential. 

  • You can’t stop thinking about how you didn’t deserve this, and you feel resentful and sad when you see good things happening for others.

  • You feel overwhelmed by the fact that a happy or peaceful life doesn’t seem like a possible outcome for you.

  • The injustice of what happened is turning you into a bitter and cynical person, which isn’t who you are or want to be. 

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO FEEL THAT WAY.

I CREATED SCARLET HASHTAG, A 10-STEP GUIDEBOOK FOR OVERCOMING PUBLIC SHAMING,

so you won’t have to anymore.

Completing these steps won’t just get past your shaming event. You’ll come out stronger, happier, and more in control of your life than ever before.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE MYSELF.

I also know how to get past it and rise above it stronger, because that’s what I’ve done.

And, as a lawyer fighting for the rights of public shaming victims, I’ve helped many others do the same.

Let me be your guide and help you plan for and manage the inevitable obstacles (internal and external!) that are standing in the way of your better life.

 

  • "The Guidebook is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced shame or trauma –– even those who feel like they’ve already healed.

    “I have spent my life trying to reclaim my power and heal my trauma after being the victim of a public sexual shaming. Annie’s Guidebook reshapes the narrative around healing and reclaiming your power –– it provides tangible action items and realistic steps towards organizing pain into power, radically abandoning fear, finding purpose through pain, and getting un-stuck from the feeling of being trapped in trauma.

    Seifullah writes in both a witty and accessible way to remind victims and survivors that they have someone walking through their personal hell beside them –– and walking them through it.”

    -Leah Juliett. Executive Director, March Against Revenge Porn

  • "Annie Seifullah is the voice in your head- rooting you on to work through your pain.

    Her book provides direct steps to guide your healing to not only recover from online public shaming - but to find a new powerful you that is not afraid of visibility"

    -Francesca Rossi, LCSW and Founder
    Thriving Through, a therapy practice specializing in cyber abuse

  • "Annie hits the nail on the head.

    As a survivor of horrific online abuse, reading this book helped me feel less alone in the issues I still struggle with because of my trauma. If I had this Guidebook sooner, my journey to healing certainly would have been easier. Step Six especially resonated with me: how do we move forward without identifying with the worst thing that has ever happened to us? I highly recommend this book to anyone who has experienced public shame, especially with our current online culture.”

    -Kaitlyn Rosati, Survivor

  • "Don’t hesitate for a minute. The Guidebook will change your life.”

    My life was forever altered the day that I became the target of a massive cyber-shaming attack. Reading the Guidebook changed everything for me. What felt like inescapable trauma became not only manageable, but a source of personal power. I feel so grateful that Annie wrote this. Everybody is talking about how terrible public shaming is, but nobody is providing solutions for those of us who are in the middle of it.”

    -Jade J., Survivor (They/Them)

START FEELING IN CONTROL OF WHAT COMES NEXT.

Once you’ve worked through Scarlet Hashtag,

Things that didn’t make sense to you will make sense.

Injustices and hurts that you obsess about will no longer drain you of energy or time.

You’ll sleep better, you’ll laugh more, you’ll feel more connected to your body and to people around you.

You’ll feel a new sense of joy in unexpected moments. Occasionally at first, but then more and more as you heal.

And, you’ll also probably have some satisfaction in knowing that there are fundamental truths about the world that you now understand and that others around you may be missing,

because the public shaming will unlock in you a capacity to see and know and feel that you cannot imagine yet.
