In this episode Brook has guest Shelly Boismenu MFT as his guest. Brook and Shelly discuss how the period of time during high conflict divorce and custody struggles, is one of the most fertile times for transformation and new ways of thinking. Looking toward what you want to create rather than the pain of the past and what has you stuck. By working with someone that understands both the phycology and court system it becomes easier to navigate the road blocks one sets for themselves and chart a course to a more stable future. 
Shelly Boismenu has been a private practice mental health therapist for the past twenty years. A decade ago, she encountered, and successfully applied a set of profound teachings in her own intense custody and co-parenting experience. Since then, she has been teaching these principles to women in similar unwanted circumstances with great success. Shelly joins Brook this month to teach the connection between your thoughts and your reality, the most important thing to do when you are in the midst of an unwanted custody experience and how to maintain a steady practice to shift your inner landscape and watch the outer landscape transform. 
Shelly can be contacted via her website: http://www.shellyboismenumft.com/

In this episode Brook and Michelle discuss the importance of having deep thought as you make choices about how you approach the conflict with the other parent, thinking about long term outcomes and then taking responsibility for the unfolding. This is something that as parents it is important to model for the children but equally teaching them the skillset so as adults they are able to be more present for the choices that they make and see how their interactions create outcomes. This is a thought provoking episode. Enjoy!!!
