Slam the Gavel welcomes back Laurie Smith, LMSW on the podcast. Laurie Smith was last on the podcast September 12, 2022, Season 3, Episode 103. Shehas been practicing social work for 18 years and is well versed in multiple modalities, theories and evidence-based practices. Her work has continuously involved working with marginalized populations. Her passion is working with Trauma Survivors (individuals, providers and systems ), through offering self-guided, self-paced journeys that point towards Harnessing the Power of Our Own Internal GPS, Wielding Our Survival Skills and Building Armor Strategically to improve Quality of Life, Effectiveness and Sustainability for all and dig into our Birthright to Our Power and Joy.
  What has impacted her work the most is her own Trauma Transformations and Utilization of Universal Laws in everyday life.
   We discussed how she loves working with trauma survivors and the shame that keeps them small. Laurie also mentioned a book, "The Myth of Normal, Trauma, illness & Healing In A Toxic Culture," by Gabor Mate, MD.
  Laurie discussed how trauma causes shame and, "you're not allowed to feel these things." If we don't look at these things we cannot heal, and it is victimization over and over again. If we don't talk about these experiences we won't get the job done which is healing.
   We have worth and value and to claim meaning in purpose in the face of trauma is the only way to begin healing. Excellent conversation with Laurie Smith, LMSW
