Laurie Smith LMSW, Speaks Out On Getting Clear About The Chaos In The Family Courts, Problems And Solutions

     Slam the Gavel welcomes Laurie Smith, LMSW back on the show. Laurie Smith has 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 the family court system impacts parents and how children are treated as property; how this evolved into the system developed in the Colonial Era. This adversarial system  is set up to ruin families and it is a system of "pay to play."
    It is time to be vocal about how many people this is affecting. It is people that are trying to survive every day or have been diagnosed with mental illness that is now being used against them in the courts. The world will say whatever about us but we always have a choice and we get to decide how we will relate what is happening to us. This pathological system, it is chaos and the most effective way through it is to go inside and gain your own resources in terms of a support system and empowerment.
     Live a life that means something to you. Moving forward we are not under such naive illusions that life is fair, it is not. Don't put your faith in what is happening in the outside world and people are not alone. Laurie encourages to enjoy every day, do a gratitude practice, no matter what is happening around you. Focus on positive things, because they can't take that away from you.
